Visa get. Tomorrowday I have a meeting with student legal services down on campus to get power of attorney paperwork filed, and I have a whole laundry list of things I should do (INCLUDING LAUNDRY, HAR) but not the time to do it--tomorrow is my first day off in a week and my last day off for a week. I keep on getting stuck with more shifts because they were too stupid to hire people weeks ago when all this two-week-notice shit was starting to hit the fan, apparently we also forgot that a good number of the employees left at our store that aren't management are college students, and therefore were going to have to be changing our hours once school started--or leaving entirely.

Tomorrow I'm going to be running around trying to get as much done in as little time as possible. My meeting at student legal services is at 2:30. I need to get my permanent address changed back to my parents'. I need to go see the advisor for my department. I want to go to International Affairs and peruse some of their touristy books to make notes about just where the hell I'm going to be living for the next three months or so. I'm probably going to end up in some corner panicking as most of this hits me full-force.

For now, I need to sleep. Office hours for my advisor are 9-12 tomorrow. Assuming I can get some sleep, I need to go see her.

Argh. It'd be nice if I had all my acceptance paperwork and everything from Sapporo University so I could kinda get the ball rolling on my visa. It's getting to the point where I have just over a month before I leave, kiiiinda nervous that we don't have that process going yet.

Hopefully it'll be here within the next week.

Otherwise...preparations for that are going along, I suppose. I need to go talk to Sarah either tomorrow or next week about...lots of stuff, actually. Ergh. /hides under the bed

I'VE GOT MY KENKEN BACK. *CHEERS*

And he WORKS!

I just beat Final Fantasy IV.

...I didn't expect the last battle to be so easy. XD

oh my god OH MY GOD

I just checked my campus email and I GOT ACCEPTED TO SAPPORO UNIVERSITY!! AAAAAAAAAAA!

Hey guys. Been a while, hasn't it?

...so I've been kinda panicking lately over the fact that I might be heading to Japan in September, for one semester at Sapporo University. I still don't know for sure, but I should find out sometime in the next few weeks.

I still need to get my passport, which I don't as of now have the money for. I would be working as many hours as I can to get said money, but...I'm going to have to cut my availability massively again, because surprise, I'm taking a class. Starting Monday. It's required for graduation as of this year, they're not accepting substitutions, and it's not being offered again until spring 2011 which...yeah, if I get to Japan, I may be missing the first two weeks of that semester.

At least it's only running for 3 weeks.

For three hours a day, five days a week. Right in the middle of the day. Hngh.

Oh, and I still have to practice Japanese, because if I'm going? Kinda need to remember how to talk.

And earlier this week, one of my cans of soda exploded in my bag, getting basically everything inside wet. Did I mention that I carry electronics around? Yeah, I'm still not sure if my PSP is going to work or not, because I'm afraid to touch it. At least my DS and new camera didn't get wet, the case for those are made of amazing.

I'm honestly starting to freak out a little, and I'm not going to have any time this weekend to just sit and think. I need to finish things from last semester. I need to change my availability for work, again, and figure out some way to get covered the time in the two shifts I have next week that are overlapping that class.

Sob. I need my tea now. It's summer, isn't this supposed to be relaxy-time?

I've been trying to deny it for the last few days, but...

I have a cold. D:

sob why.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand laptop's boned. I'm on my roommate's at the moment, notifying all and sundry that I'll be kinda awol for the next few days at least.

...I hate dealing with this thing. I'm so done. I had good enough luck with Acer the first time around, but after this, I think I'm going to get a freaking Dell. Or a desktop. Or a Dell desktop, just to be really fucking daring. :/

I can't start the fucking thing up to backup all my files, so I'm just going to have to hope to God they don't decide it needs a wipe and go from there. I'm just so annoyed right now. I /was/ having a good evening until this shit got pulled.

While I'm bitching, I hate the display for Windows 7. I'd like to see what I have up and running and what it's doing at first glance, please. Leave the popup displays to Mac, that's their thing.

THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR OVERLEVELING. In Dissidia I had Cecil at 100 before I even TRIED most of Shade Impulse (the final mission) and certainly before I fought Chaos.

There's three separate battles with him.

I killed him in one hit each time. I felt like I was hitting the 'fuck you' button every time I attacked!

...maybe if I switch my play plan I'll have more of a challenge. But having 52 levels over the final boss might be kinda overkill. XD

I want this so hard. ;o; Whyyy does our Toys R Us not have them?! D:

I should have suspected--I did in fact, when my roommates first cursed the discovery of mold in their bedroom.

Yeah, it's in mine too. I just had to bleach the outside wall of my closet (as in, the one that FACES outside.) I'm going to be cleaning and moving my bed--not looking forward to that one--to see what terrible surprises await me there. I've had a casualty of one smart-assed T-shirt thus far.

Oh well. Not like I had much else to do today. The contents of my closet have been disgorged onto my bed, and will be going back once the bleach water dries. I'm also going to run to the dollar store to get a shower curtain liner to tack up against that wall to provide a barrier against tasty, tasty cloth and the evil, evil mold. Then once I have everything cleaned up, my bed's going to have to move at least temporarily--it's against those cursed outside walls again. Sigh.

Well, here's to the adventure.

Resolutions for the New Year

( It's a new day, it's a new start )

I work until 7 tonight. Any plans, area peoples? :3

Game recs for PSP, anyone? :D

...yeah I got one for Christmas. His name is Cecil! ...and I've been playing Dissidia until my eyes are about to fall out.

I LIIIIVE. *unburies from a snowdrift*

Power went out about 9:30 Christmas Eve.

We got it back about an hour and a half ago, far as I can tell. There were spurts of it being on throughout, but basically 24 hours without power. MADE OUR HOUSE DAMN COLD THAT'S FOR SURE.

It wasn't all that bad, we managed to make it down to my aunt's place--their house was warm, since they had a gas range and a wood-burning stove in the house, both fired up, and my uncle managed to cook a fine Christmas dinner even without the oven. Sat around and read for a while, played with the baby, then we came home when the power came back on--only for it to go out again about half an hour after we all managed to get home.

I only am up and around now 'cause I woke up due to overheating about 20 minutes ago. Took a bit to place why, too! The furnace was running!

Wow, this blizzard has been a bear. :| I'll take pictures of the snowdrift blocking our door tomorrow, if I can.

At my parent's house for Christmas! ...and supremely bored. The TV is taken up by Mom's silly girly movie, so I can't play video games or watch anything else. So...

Icon request time!

Provide a subject or image, tell me if you want text on it or not (preferably what it is, if you want it), and I'll make an icon for you! :3 If y'all don't know what the icons I make look like--well, I've made all the ones I'm using. XD Feel free to ask me to make another in a similar style if you like. I don't have my tablet so any serious manipulations like background deletion or coloring will take me longer.

For now, I'll do 10. I'm here for at least another three or four days, so I'll probably get bored again. ;3

( Blatherblatherblather )

Not entirely done with classwork yet, but I got hit by the monthly which is sapping any sort of motivation I may have had. /sob

I get a snow day~ X3 It's comin' down pretty good, and it's not gonna stop until later today. UNL cancelled classes. Roommate said the roads are pretty superterrible so I'm going to be staying in as much as possible, maybe walk to the grocery store to get food since there's not much here. If I feel crazy later. And see if the buses are running so I can try to get down to the hospital.

But for now I'm going to curl up under the blankets. :D

Had my final for floral design tonight. :3

One down. Three to go. woo, semester's almost over.

...and shit, I just remembered I'm the one who gets to do discussion questions for tomorrow. RUN!

So one of my test grades got /lost/ in Floral Design. I'll have to hope I can find the corrected test so I can get my grade to my TA, because I am /not/ taking the average on that test. I know I did better than that.

If I can't find it, well, I don't know how it'll work out. But this is kind of...okay, really...annoying.

I also need to figure out what I'm doing for my final paper in Japanese Lit so I can get the abstract in tomorrow. With sources. I have no idea what I want to write about.
