2 MONTHS!

So what happened between February 14th and today. Not much just the same old, same old. Midterms are this week and I'm just not that interested nor even care (though I should because it is my last semester). So the timeline is quickly approaching and yes there is only 2 months left in the semester. So right now, I am studying for my Anthropology midterm. The only class I seem to struggle in is History of Poison. It's a really interesting topic but I can't seem to have problems on my quizzes and midterm even though I read all of the readings.

Anyways, work-wise, I have been getting extremely annoyed by crazy customers. For the last week and a half, they have been mean, rude and a pain! They gotten angry over our location moving, and closing so that way we could transition into our new store. I am super excited that we moved but it have been stressful since we needed to open our doors today. I understand that they don't want to lose business and all but we have to do what we can do. It's not a bad idea to close our store for a day to set up our merchandises. It's a lot better than closing for a month to renovate a small theater and change company. Anyways, I LOVE the new store! It's GORGEOUS! My jaws dropped when I went inside (for the first time) Saturday. I just could not believe that we moved into our new location and everything is new and beautiful!

I better get back to studying for the midterm. I just hope it is not hard like my last one!

3 months left!

Ok, so I am trying to recover on what just happened. So I emailed my adviser on what class would she recommend for me to take. She emails back that there was a problem between my transcript and the tool we use to find out what class we need for graduation. So now I'm back on track and will be officially done at the end of this semester! This means I don't have to take summer classes after all! I cannot express how happy I am at this moment! I will be graduating in May and not over the summer! I am so glad I asked before I find out it was too late! Thank you adviser! She is very helpful in a lot of ways!

So aside from that, I have been working. First my hours were cut and now it have been increased to working 10 hours on Sunday. I liked the increase but it seems a little too stressful especially since I feel like I have taken over my sister's old position. I'm looking forward to the move to a new location however. I'm waiting for word on my background check for the new job (or career). I really look forward and hope to be the lucky ones who gets the job.

Anyways, I'm heading out for Valentine's Day with Daniel at IHOP. Not the most romantic place but it is within our budget!

4 months and counting...

I know it has been a while since I last published an entry. I have been super busy with school. I just finished my winter course (three weeks of boredom). I learned a value lesson: Don't take communications if you're not majoring in that field. It was so confusing! I did not understand anything. But I'm glad it's all over. So my last day of winter break is today. Tomorrow I go back to Shady Grove and begin my final semester. While people may say that I wasted my winter break but what can u do if you want to graduate on time. I'm a little excited to start my spring semester but at the same time I am not looking forward for another couple of months of torture! Haha school is not torturing.

So I got an email from my counselor/adviser (she is super awesome and extremely nice and helpful!) and she said that anyone who is graduating in the summer may participate in Spring Graduation! She knew exactly what I was going to ask her! (That what makes her soo awesome!) So I will be graduating in the summer but I will be able to walk (for the first time!) with my class/department! I did not walk with my class during high school graduation because I was playing with the band. That email made my day!

In other stuff, I had such a wonderful and peaceful birthday this year! No cakes were dropped or harm this year. The only downside was the present Daniel bought me. It was defective and we couldn't get the money back. But we got a stuffed dragon instead from Build-A-Bear. It is soo cute!!! I love it as much as the sock monkey his friend got me.

Work, on the other hand, is more hectic! Yes I keep saying that over and over again. It is the customers who makes my work days hectic. I feel like they put me as the weekend head supervisor because I work only on the weekends and I am always stuck up front all weekend. I guess I am no longer a backup supervisor like I was hired as! I don't like being the front end supervisor because anything goes wrong is all on me! I basically replaced my sister's old position! The good thing is that I am able to run the front better than the other supervisor (except the one who replaced me as backup supervisor, I have not issues with her). And to add to it, I am the only supervisor who only had one hour to train versus two weeks!

So I'll be leaving you for now. I have just ran out of things to say. I guess I'll see you next month (or maybe in a few weeks).

5 months or 7 months

So generally speaking, I was suppose to have five months left until I graduate. When I went to talk to my adviser, she told me I was one class away from graduating in the Spring. So according to her, I will not be graduating in May but in July. But I am not super upset about this b/c I wasn't aware that I was only one class away from graduating. I was going to risk it next semester but I could not exceed my maximum classes my head can handle. There's no way I am having a repeat of my second year. I did what I could and my adviser offered all the help that was possible. If it was my old adviser, I would have been screwed over. If only I knew about this last semester, I would have pushed it this semester by taking 5 classes but the old adviser did not provide too much help. I am, however, not pleased to hear that. I haven't been able to tell my parents about it. I know they will not approve of this but like I said, I did what I could and my adviser did what she could. It is only for one more month and no more. No matter what, if she said one more month, then one more month and only one more class. PERIOD.

So aside from all of that, I have been working endlessly. I understand that it is the holiday season but my hours are a little ridiculous! I am a full-time student and a part-time employee but I am working 9-10 hours a day! I won't be complaining if I was working at my career choice but I am not yet there. Yes, I may have 3 days free but if you think about it, I only have one day to myself. I spend the other two days at school. I never complained about it until now. Right now, I'm focusing on school more b/c it is my final year. I need all the relaxation time I can get.

Ok, enough of the complaining. Now onto the great news, I have completed the second and third round of my police applicant. I have taken and (barely) passed the written test. I ended up getting rescheduled for my oral interview. Well, I went and had my oral interview earlier this month. I did pretty well and passed it. Now I'm just waiting for a background check. I hope by the next post, I should get the news.

So, I'm just going back to studying for my finals. Until then, later...YEA! Patriots beat the Redskins! (Hahaha! I am in Redskins territory!)

6 months to go!

Note to self:

I only have 6 months until I finish with school. Please let the next 6 months run smoother than Phase 1 of the 6 months period. Please let Phase 2 be better and faster.

To my dear body:

I know I have not treated you well especially since I suffer from too much stress. Right now, I can feel your message. I can feel how difficult my breathing is right now. I am trying to relax!!!

____________________________________________________________________

Anyways, you probably see how it is. I have six months left until my school career is over and I will officially have a full-time job. I know in my last post, it have not been quite a month yet.

So what have happened since my last post? Well, I have been having emotional breakdowns and all have been happening at work. A lot of things have driven me to these breakdowns but mostly stress. I did not have any trouble 2 months ago with controlling my emotions but for some strange reason, I cracked.

Other than that, I have been busy with midterms (but they're over now) and homework. Nothing new is happening at school. Other than I probably did terrible at one of my midterms b/c I had a bad case of writers cramp...blown!

Outside of work and school, I have been busy with my drawings. I have yet to complete this one drawing and now there's dents and marks all over it. It took me about 2 weeks to finally put in the details and I am still working on outlining the details!

So I have nothing else to say. I'll by working on my police stuff. So looking forward to next Saturday!

Lucky number 7 months to go!

As of today, I have 7 months left til I graduate from college...yea lucky number 7!

So right now I'm waiting for my Forensic Psychology class to start. Today, my parents left for their 8 days trip to Beijing. So what has happened since September 7th? I submitted my application to the police and got an email back with the written examination date and I need to fill out a few more information. So super excited about this opportunity! I got super excited to the point I broke my dad's mug. I am hoping that I do get a passing score on my written exam and do well in everything else. I do want to start my career soon. I hope I can get into the academy by next summer.

Other than that, nothing significant happened at school. All I've been doing is studying and studying. However, I realized that I need 21 credits before I can graduate. So that's about 7 three-credit classes. There is no way I could do that in one semester. Well I can do that but I'm not having a repeat of 2008! So that means goodbye to winter vacation. :( Bummer! But that's what I have to do to reach for my goal.

Outside of school, it has been nothing but a boring life. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing significant happened.

As for work...I don't even want to talk about it! It's the same old, same old stuff going on since the summer.

For now, I must conclude because class is about to start and I need my full attention. Goodbye for now and see you in a month!

8 months to go...

8 more months until my anticipated graduation...

So school started...last week. It's my second day of class. So this semester, I'm taking 4 classes and going to school 2 days a week...My classes are jam packed on Mondays. I have only been to 2 classes of the 4. So what am I doing on my days off? Nothing...it has been raining for the past couple of days so there's nothing better to do. I have been drawing just random stuff and more stuff.

So what did I do on my week-long vacation? Drawing and coloring. And oh yea, I was working. I did not got anywhere interesting, I did not do anything that was interesting (unless you want to hear about going to work) and nothing in particular happened...well maybe the earthquake (which I completely missed) and the "hurricane". Why the quotation marks? It was called a hurricane but it wasn't a hurricane! It was more of wind and rain and that was it. Everyone was freaking out but it did not do any damage here.

So what's my stress level? Right now, it is at medium. I'm extremely stressed out at work followed by personal problems and to top it off, school. But lately, I feel relatively calm. But I think this is how it is when I start school. I start off not stressed and by the time mid-terms come, I'm pulling out all of my hair! However, I'm starting to have massive (or unbearable) headaches. Is this a good thing? I have no idea. These headaches are really becoming a bother because I can't sleep too well at night as these headaches are painful.

So far, I've been attempting to save my money. I'm hoping to have enough so I can buy a new and more stylish glasses frame. I've looked into other options to get books and the only best way is renting the books. I should have done this awhile ago so that way I don't have to buy all these books and in the end are being used as: paperweight, door stoppers, fillers for gaps between the night stand and dresser and defense mechanism. Lesson learned: If you are not going to need the book in the future, rent them rather than to buy them. It saves you the hassels of shopping for bargains and selling your books. Believe me, I have a bunch of books I wanted to sell away but they no longer use the books I bought therefore, no way to sell them back. Bummer!

Sleep, sleep and more sleep is what I really need. And my own place so I don't have to deal with the headaches from home. I just want a nice peaceful sleep without any interruption. And oh yea, do not call me stupid because it is getting on my last nerves.

Before concluding this entry, I must address a few things that are getting on my last nerves:

• Calling stupid (in a negative way) I honestly do not care if you call me stupid in a funny, comical way, like when we are having fun.


• Starting drama between me and whoever. I do not care for drama.


• Who does not believe that I can be whoever I want to be. I need support.


• False accusation. This end here and right now! Remember the saying, "Innocent until proven guilty."

If anyone (friends and non friends) does any of the listed above (especially the false accusation), you will not be associating with me any longer and if you are on Facebook, you will be defriended immediately!

So for now, I must return to reality and face life. And homework...*sigh*
