My Graduation day is on December 17. I am quite happy, I know that date. After that date, I am out in the free world. I am happy yet sort of scared at the thought of being free of school and studying. Yet, there are a lot of competition out there. My cousin is an advertising executive in Chicago working for the Army and planning out their advertising campaigns. I would LOVE to do that. I want to just go somewhere and do something I am happy with. I don't want to be bogged down in something I hate. Like the job I have right now. I don't want a job. I want a career. I love PR too. I'm fine with standing up in front of people.. I tend to get nervous, but I think that's normal. PR sounds really good. Ahhh... I need to do a resume soon.
I really want to go to London though after graduation. I always wanted to go there ever since I was little. London, Australlia, Scotland, and South Africa. I think if I somehow achieved and go to those places, I would be all set and happy. Oh, China too. I want to run that Great Wall and see the old monuments. Just looking at old historic stuff is so wonderful. Being American though, I can tell you first hand that you stick out wherever you go. I hate it sometimes because they look at you weird. In Japan, I'll never forget it. They are all so neat and pretty and polite and yet there I was in jeans and a sweatshirt looking horrid because I've been riding in too many planes to even care what I look like. The Philippines was like that too. I felt awkward. And I felt fat for some reason. Everyone there is so tiny. Now, I'm not fat, nor am I that skinny, but I just felt fat. Ahhh... That is my life. I don't really know why my rambling went to that topic, but to go to London after graduation... I really want to do that. That is my goal. I'll go alone if I have to. Anyone want to come with me?
So anyway... I'm almost done with Harry Potter #5. I like it actually. I think it's my second favorite after the PoA. That book will forever be my favorite. But #5 is strange. Harry's character totally changed. He's yelling more, he's angrier, thinking more selfish thoughts. It's more grown up. But then again he is 15 now. I didn't like the way Rowling portrayed Cho Chang though. I don't really like the way she portrays her woman characters. None of them have this "Hero" quality to them like Sirius Black has or maybe even Lupin. I mean, can you really see anyone saying that McGonagall is their hero? No... However, I think Tonks is pretty cool. It's sort of getting sad now too. Not sad like "Crying" sad... but sad... in a sort of way that I can't really describe... Like I've been reading 5 of these books now and this seems to just... take something out of you. Hmmm...

Why is it that I am so sleepy all the time? Gosh, I thought I was really going to accomplish something today and finish up some shrines at #1 Superstar but I had done nothing really significant. I was able to at least upload some new pages in the Godai shrine but that's really it. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be able to finish. I find it hard to describe a character like him because he is so ordinary. How can you describe a character that is so like everyone else? I don't know. I really love that show though and I can't do a subpar job when I'm doing his shrine. I guess that's why it's taking me such a long time to finish. I like all the shrines I managed to finish so far and I am satisfied with them. I have to weed out some spelling errors in that Chobits shrine but oh well. Ok... I am just waaay to sleepy now. I need to go to sleep. I have class tomorrow and I'm still up at this hour. I spent all day trying to finish up the shrine and taking a nap and yet I am still sleepy. Geez, at this rate, I'll be sleeping all day soon enough. Ironic how my mom named me "Cindy" after my cousin's friend and my Grandma Cinderella and not after my other grandma, named Aurora. I think that would have been more appropriate lately since all I've been doing is sleeping.
Yeah, just rambling. I'm reading some boring parts in the HP book. That's probably another reason why I'm so sleepy. *sigh... ok, going to sleep now. Goodnight, to whomever is reading this.

I am sleepy but I have to watch Conan, so I can't sleep just yet. That guy is so hilarious, the show is so hilarious. Anyway, I'm happy I got all Bs for my Persuasion class and the Communication Law class and my Law and Disorder class. I was really afraid that I would get worse grades because I didn't really study much for the final. I'm just so relieved now. Just thank god that I only have one class this third session. I found out that I only need 3 COM classes for graduation instead of 4. I signed up for 4 COM classes so I guess I have to replace that other class with something because I need 3 more credits. Eck. I don't know what to do. I guess I have to talk to my advisor yet again. Sometimes those advisors don't help at all though. I don't know what they're trying to do.
Let's see:
1) Need to update my Touch site
2) Need to scan more CCS doujinshi
3) Need to finish #1 Superstar
4) Need to finish HP#5Well, I need to do so much more than this but I can't think straight right now. I just had the most obnoxious and bitchiest woman in front of my counter today at work. I wanted to slap her face. Don't you hate it when people just treat you like you're nothing? Ugh... just because she's a damn guest does not give her the right to be a total bitch. If I worked in a restaurant and she was my customer I would have spat in her food. TOTAL BITCH. It still irks me now just thinking about it. I only wished it was my last day at work or something so I can just slap her right there. I totally hate bitches that think you'll sucumb to their every demand. Well, that will certainly not be me. So when she was talking to me, I refused to look at her. Scum isn't worth eye contact. I should have been more bitchy. However, I think she can tell I was totally putting her off. I HATE people like that. It is so infuriating. Thank god I am not related or know anyone that is scum like that awful woman.
That is exactly why I hate working in customer service jobs. Because of people like that.

My sleeping patterns has been normal these couple of days which is quite surprising. My days of sleeping at 3 in the morning is over. I actually slept around midnight last night.
Let's see... I still can't believe what is happening in Fruits Basket. Chap#78... oh my gosh.. it's plain official now that Haru and Rin aren't virgins... haha I wonder what Rin's relationship is with Hiro. Those two have something going on. Is he secretly related to her somehow other than being a cousin? *eh... more mystery is on the way. Honestly, I am sort of getting tired of this manga and now something interesting happens again.
I haven't been updating my sites at all. Dammit, this sucks. I am so lazy. But I have an excuse. I mean summer school bums you out you know.
Oh, well. At least I'm getting a paycheck today. Yay for money.

Gosh, my days of being aloof, flighty, and disillusional are still going strong. What the hell is wrong with me? Did the summer sessions totally damaged my brain or something? I am such a dork. I don't really want to get into it. It's officially known now that I am a weirdo at work. Actually. work wasn't that bad today (except for the fact that I clogged the toilet... um, long story) because I got to work by the pool and it wasn't overly hot and I got to wear shorts and a t-shirt instead of my ugly work uniform. Plus I got to see cute boys everywhere. That sort of made me sad cause I was at work and I couldn't have fun. There was this guy there that was cute. And everyone was giving him all the attention and he was totally bewildered by it. But for the life of me I couldn't even remember what he looked like. All I know is that he had blue eyes and was built. Damn! He had a nice body. So basically I only remembered what his body looked like and not his face. Which is quite sad considering my friend said he was hot. Damn.
Me: He had blond hair right? Red shorts?
Friend: No he had dark hair. He was tanned. Blue shorts.
Me: Crew cut right?
Friend: No. Just short dark hair
Me: Well at least he had a nice body...
Friend:.....Ha. I guess to me he just looked like everyone else so he didn't really make me remember him. Now if Orlando Bloom was to show up then that's another story.
I was watching the weird Adam Sandler movie called "Punch Drunk Love" a few days ago. My god that was strange. It's the first movie I've seen that Sandler was a "serious" actor. It sort of distubing in a way. And his character seemed very lonely. It's sort of sad in a way too. Not sad, like "Sob sad" but sad like, "gosh, that guy just needs a love"... It's really weird how it ended. I guess it made an impact on me since I'm still thinking about it. It was just strange.
I wish it would rain again. It was cloudy all day too.

Booo... I have to work today. I have to talk to my counselor today. I hope it will rain today. :( so yeah, I have to go to work. In the phone room no less. Do you know how incredibly boring that will be? Save me. I really need to find a new job but damn it but I have school. And yes, I have to talk to my advisor about my student aid. Ahhh... its so hot outside I just want to stay home. I'm just really glad though that the student aid will help me. Although, does it really help since you have to pay it back with interest? A lot of people I know are still paying their studen debts. College is like a Catch 22 situation isn't it? And I really do think it will rain today. I'm hoping for it since it's very gray outside. Hopefully it's just not wishful thinking on my part.
Autumn Crescendo got reviewed again. Damn, what the hell was I doing two years ago that made me have all those grammar mistakes? I guess I was just WAY too excited to go on vacation or something. Weird how the early WPRs didn't catch up on it and those were the ones that really helped me fix my site too. Haha. I need opinions on it. A lot of people e-mail me concerning Autumn Crescendo. It's really nice actually. I'll rather have them e-mail me about various MB subjects than just sign the guestbook going, "What a nice layout".... Eh, I hate it when people do that. I know they just want us to visit their site or something. And what else can you put down but "Hey nice layout. Visit mine too". I like it when people e-mail me. It's nice to talk to someone with a similar interest. Ahhh... Ok, I should go and take a shower now and go back to school. What a life I have. School, work, sleep, school, work, sleep. Boo. I need to go on a real vacation now.

Wai! New Layout. I'm sooo glad I got rid of that Kyo and Kagura one. That only lasted for like what? about a week or two? Although the image was cute I didn't like it much. So this image of Sumomo was scanned from the Chobits artbook and was nicely done by Maureen. I swear, I really can't make blog layouts at all. The only think that actually looked nice was the Syaoran and Sakura one. Ok I should stop now. But it's finally in greymatter now too. Perfect for such a lazy person like me.
We finally put up a new grop blog as well. It's called Our Underwear Drawer is on the Floor... We've been wanting to make a group blog for so long and now we finally did. I always wanted the title to be that. Plus! We also put up a new layout in our domain as well. It's Eyeshield 21... although it's very girly and not at all "Eyeshield 21-ish"... haha... but it is cute.
It's still very very hot here. I swear. It just makes me lazy. Times like this I wish I was in Siberia or something. I'll rather be cold than be hot anyday. At least it rained yesterday. Gosh, I LOVE it when it rains or when it's autumn. Someday, I want to see the leaves change colors again. I keep thinking about that. Damn Vegas with no season but Summer and Spring.
