Ahhh... a new layout change. I told myself that I didn't really want a manga layout anymore because I've been very latharging in reading manga or watching anime now. I've been losing interest but I found this picture in one of my folders and I said, "Why not?" Maureen of course made this layout for me because I am incompetent. Speaking of manga, I started reading Hanakimi for some reason... I'm on the 11th chapter and it's pretty funny (the gay doctor and Nakatsu are hillarious) except that the main character is supposed to be someone that grew up in America but the author has really odd and stereotypical opinions of what America is. I mean at one point she was saying that it is very common to use notes on a test in America. What? Where the hell did she get that idea? I've never experience that in my life. I only wished my professors were that easy going. But anyway, that's just one the reasons that irks me about some stories that write or mention something about America. Ah well. Like I care.
If you visited our group blog, you would know that I had a horrible three days. It's my fault. I mean if I didn't put everything off at the last second I wouldn't have lost sleep but I'm the kind of person that can't do anything with out pressure breathing down my neck. What else can I do? I'm just glad I survived it all. Next week, I have that news broadcast thing to do and then a media kit is due for my PR class, but I already have an idea on what to do with that so no worries. I just have so much to do and there's only 2 weeks left of school. I'm really happy though. You don't know how much. I already bought my graduation gown last week. ^_^ This is it you know? Ahhh.
Right now, my mom is cooking Thanksgiving dinner, which I will miss because I have to go to work. It's not fair really. This is one of the few times our family ever gets together and I am missing it. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. Those are like my favorite holidays... *Cries. Ah. But at least I'll still get a turkey dinner when I get home. But it's not the same without family there.

So it's been really weird. It's been really busy... and for the first time this semester I was actually listening to my anthro professor. He's actually interesting but I guess I chose to listen to him a bit late considering that the 20 page essay I have to write for him is due next Tuesday and I have yet another test. Finals are in three weeks. I still can't believe that. It's been going by really fast. I am so damn tired. When school is over I'm going to sleep forever.
Let's see what else...
I finally know how to get into the mIRC channels. Boy it's so easy. I guess I just been inept I don't know. But I finally found a site that throughly explained it so well that I was like YES! Now I understand. So I've been downloading tons of shoujo manga and KareKano but the ones I've downloaded so far of Kare I've already read. Damn. But it's ok. I really need to stop slacking. Tomorrow... I swear I'm going to start on that damn paper. I am an idiot don't you know? Eh...I got glasses too. I hate my contacts sometimes so I'm glad I have them. Plus, when I wear them I don't really have to wear make up. I hate make up. It makes me feel like I have a pound of dirt on my face. I really do need to learn to wear it at least some someday. I don't know how some girls just put it on the way they do. It's disgusting. But then again, I grew up not being such a girly girl so that's probably why. I was the type to like Transformers and Ninja Turtles rather than Barbie. Hey, even now I'll go for those toys anyday. I'm rambling now I should go.
My story is getting there. I should not stop. I feel like I'm being repetitive right now bleh... I really need to get away soon. Everyone's been asking what I'm going to do with myself when I finally graduate so I really need to slap myself on the forhead and just do something.

I sometimes wish that time can slow down for a change. It seems to go by so fast. I can't believe it's already November and soon it will be December. It seemed that it was January like yesterday. The first two months of 2003 I was on vacation in the Philippines and then I was busy worrying about graduation and work was a pain. And now... the year is over already. I'm really going to miss it. I don't know why I'm thinking this right now. I just spent about 3 hours looking for internet providers. Damn it. Net Zero doesn't work for me. I canceled AOL and Earthlink acted strange and now I'm on Juno. Whatever. Whatever works. I just don't want to go back to MSN again. Isn't it weird how I talk about one thing and then I end up talking about another thing?
There's something wrong with me honestly. Like I said, I'm so glad everything is over but still I don't want anything to end. I want to go but I want to stay. I am so damn undecided sometimes that it just bothers me. Sometimes I am just so exhausted at everything. I find myself tired. Not just physically but mentally too. I find myself not even trying anymore. I know I totally failed my anthropology test and it's like what's the point? Everytime he lectures I start to wander off because he just doesn't make it interesting. I don't know. I wish I can get on with my life. I'm frustrated and I feel like I'm going nowhere. I guess I'm insecure about all of it. I don't know. I really don't know.
Anway, I got glasses so I can finally be free of contacts for awhile. I need to go shopping. I haven't bought clothes in so long. I haven't even watched a movie in so long because I just don't have time to. So many group projects and so many exams. Blah. I just want... actually, I don't really know what I want. I want to just go away. I've been saying that a lot. I hope it will be soon. I really want it so much it hurts. Maybe then I can find something that will trully make me happy. That would be really wonderful. Right now, I feel empty. Maybe that's true for many people who really aren't fulfilled yet because they aren't doing what they want to do. Or maybe it's just weird old me. I don't know anymore.
Battle Royale is really cool. It's about 600+ pages long and it's the first book that took me the shortest amount of time to read because it's so fast paced I just couldn't stop reading it. It's violent but it really makes you keep reading. Even Stephen King books doesn't go too much into detail about blood and guts but this book does and I guess it's somewhat real in terms of situations and the individual stories of the students (read it if you're into blood and gore and some great action). Gosh, I've been really into books. I'm a nerd I know and then there are CDs that I listen to often. Other than that, I am so out of touch. I don't even know the latest music scene anymore. Not that I care or anything, for the music now sucks. And like the fashion too. I am so ignorant. When did I stop caring about it? Maybe when I got got home from my semester in AZ. I just didn't care anymore. Did I just become an old lady now or something? I don't even go to concerts anymore really. 2 years ago I was always going to shows. Blah. Is this what you call growing up? Or growing older? I don't know.
Although it's a great book it still doesn't compare to Wuthering Heights and Snow Falling on Cedars. Ahhhh *hand on heart. Such nice stories.
On that note, why do I ramble so damn much?
