A Bunch of Good News

My transcripts arrived on the 19th of October, and were sent on the 14th of September. All I can say is that is is about time! Yay! *prances around happily*
I officially dropped out today. I had to wait so I was deeply engrossed in my copy of Alice in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass. I gave back my mail box key, and my student ID. I have a payment on my account due to a cheque bouncing, and it is completely my fault.
Now I need to sell my textbooks. I have a whole pile of them in a box. I shall not part with my Japanese textbooks/dictionaries though. I might probably sell them on Amazon.
I had to email my conversation partner about me dropping out to let her know. I feel really bead but there is a waiting list so they will find her a new partner who is hopefully better than I am.
Feels so much better to be free.
I will only post on this when something occurs, which is rare, it is better to watch my work blog, because I work everyday, which there is a link to in my profile as well as a World of Warcraft blog.

Another Day Down

I have too many things going on.
I have my Beginner's permit test tomorrow. I have been trying to study for that. I really want to pass, and get it over with. You have to pay to write the test, and then pay for your permit. It comes to over 100$ by the time you are done... That's expensive.
We didn't do anything in Economics lab, we just signed attendance, and then left. I really don't like dragging myself in for labs, but since we got done early I got to go pay for the Beginner's Permit test.
Went to Japanese, and I missed Monday's class, and Sensei expects me to know what is going on... Hell no. I managed to do some good today, it wasn't that bad. Our Intermediate course packs are finally in which I purchased yesterday. I also finally purchased a scarf which I have been looking for for years considering the clothing store used to be separate from the university.
Nothing new still stressed, tired, overwhelmed....
I want to back to May, and June when I was happiest when I still believed in love...
I have to go see my Japanese Conversation Partner tomorrow. I wonder how that will go....

An Evening Out

So tonight I went to Tim Horton's with a friend, and my conversation partner, and two of her friends. Once again it is still awkward. I cannot stand it.
The other two asked if I was from Canada too which was hilarious. One of them likes potatoes, but she can't eat them or something, and that was a good laugh too. They thought my high school friend was twenty.
I only usually go there for doughnuts, but tonight I had one of their sandwiches, it was good. :3
They are always scared to gain weight. There is nothing wrong with a little weight gain. Am I the only one looking to gain some weight here?
My friend dropped a piece of chicken right into my purse.
Apparently Wendy's gets busy. I wouldn't know that because I barely ever go there.
On other news, remember how I was hating on my life yesterday. I lost a friend, no biggie, I am a two-faced *****. Oh well. Life goes on, and it wouldn't be the first time either. At least that is one problem less to deal with. :D

Problems and Good Things

NARGH!
I am so angry at myself. I am having a hard time talking to my conversation partner. The one I befriended this summer we automatically clicked. This is just like the one from last fall, but last fall I still liked anime so I am blaming some of it on that.
I am so nervous, and when I am nervous I talk fast. We went to the Cafe tonight, and I didn't talk much at first. I warmed up better with the scavenger hunt.
I don't have to take Sociology next semester. *happy face* The fail is going to stay on my record though. *sad face* I have to go figure out next semester, I have to take three or four courses to be considered full time to get my student loans, and I currently have one next semester. I am going to go get help.
I went to the activities fair. I am helping with the Japanese Club, I signed up for Swing dancing, Badminton, and the culinary club.

Classes Begin Tomorrow

I met my new Japanese Conversation Partner tonight. I enjoy her, but I really miss the one I met this summer. She gave me a cute Hello Kitty cellphone charm, and chocolate. :D I met many others tonight to. They are all very surprised I can speak some Japanese. I really enjoy the program. I was being very shy, and was nervous as heck though. I ran into my friend from last year, and just about cried. I am very unstable due to the fact that last night my boyfriend, and I broke up. I'll live though, and I won't be falling in love again anytime soon, and it was very nice to see her. Classes start tomorrow, but I don't have my history class until 1. :D Yay. I have classes at 7:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday though. xD I cut my hours thank god.

Textbooks and Still Not In Sociology

So for courses I have Intermediate Japanese, Microeconomics, and Asian History. I bought the textbooks I need, and the History Professor added another book to read to the course. Also there is a book to read for Microeconomics.
Well I am still not in Sociology, and no one was at the registration help desk she helped one guy, and then disappeared, needless to say I wasn't impressed, and didn't stand around. I wanted to deal with this today, guess I will go talk to the professor on Wednesday... Apparently the topic this year is poverty, now that I can understand. I just need to see which books I need, and if the textbooks are the same. Screw this faculty's consent I got back into History so why not Sociology, what is so special about it?
I just emailed my conversation partner, hopefully I can meet her before the event on Monday night. :D

Course Registration and Plans

Okayy so I registered for courses, all but one, and I might drop another one...
I can't get back into Sociology at the moment but I got back in my History course that I failed. Apparently I need the faculty's consent to get back into Sociology.
There are no courses I want to take. University is nothing like I thought it would be... I need to get out so after first semester I am going to work my butt off to pass those courses, and I am not coming back second semester.
I cannot do it. I am not smart enough for university, and like I said there is nothing I want to take.
I should have stuck to art, and what not but no. I just didn't know what I want to do. Life is confusing in that sense.
I am going to be helping out with the Japanese Society this year too.
The new Japanese students are here! I cannot wait to meet my Conversation partner on Monday. =D

Still Not Much Going On

Once again I have taken a long time to post here.
I have been mostly working, and on/off sick. It is annoying.
I did cook Tempura with my Japanese conversation partner. We used onions, carrots, avacado, potato, mushroom, and hot dogs. The hot dogs were really good. We also went to Tim Horton's the next time. I forgot about the river rafting trip so I didn't get to go. :( I also don't get to go to the Japanese Festival because I am going away again! Damn I fail I also miss their grad banquet.
School is almost back in session, and I am kind of scared. I will not be staying at Mount Allison for a 3rd year, and I am looking into other places for plans, and shall be working on that throughout the school year.

Belated, But I am Back

Oh shoot, it's been a while. I haven't had time to do much with the Japanese students. I was working, and on vacation.
I was, and still am working very hard, I am a part-time worker with full-time hours.
I went on vacation with my boyfriend, and this is why I was away for ten days, I cannot believe I didn't mention this in my last entry. I have a boyfriend now. Shocker, and he isn't Asian, shocker number two. So yes, I met most of his family, very nice people. I have also been to places I have never been before, and met plenty of new people.
So my Japanese Conversation Partner gave me Hello Kitty things for my birthday; a plushie, band-aid's, two ruler cases made by her grandmother, two sticker sheets, and a notebook. <3 We finally got to talk one night last week.
I am finally 19, but I have to wait to get my Photo ID because I have no birth certificate, it's on the way though.
Not much else is going on in my life at the moment though.

Just a Quick Update

I got my email for the Academic Probation which I knew I would be getting eventually.
I haven't had much time to hang around the Japanese students. Both them, and I have been busy. I am going away for 10 days with no internet tomorrow as well. I still have my conversation partner's umbrella. D: I really wanted to get it back to her sooner but it is hard to find the time.

Hopefully next time I will have something more interesting to blog about.

Summer with the Japanese Students So Far

So far I have had a lot of fun with the Japanese students. I feel closet to four, and they are all friends with each other. I met two the day before the scavenger hunt, and I met my conversation partner, and I met another one of her friends on the shopping trip this past weekend. While shopping with them I bought clothes from H&M, and Urban Outfitters. We will be going to Hopewell Rocks, and the Ranch nearby it this weekend, and I am quite excited. I have grown up in the Maritimes, and I know of Hopewell Rocks, but I have never been there, and I don't know where it is. That should be a fun trip. My conversation partner, and I also went to McDonald's with my Conversation Partner. She gave me a Purikura photo of her, and her friend, and I will keep that always. She also gave me, and my Dad each a pair of chopsticks. I can't wait to have more fun with them again sometime soon.
It is going to be really hard in August when they leave, I will miss them dearly.

They're Here! ~~~ヾ(^∇^)

I still haven't got my marks yet. I am going to go get that fixed tomorrow.
So yesterday I met my Japanese Conversation Partner, and she is the cutest. I also ran into a lot of them in town on Saturday because they went shopping, and I was downtown shopping as well. We did a scavenger hunt yesterday, and it was pretty insane. We didn't win but we had a great time. I really enjoyed it. I hope to have an enjoyable summer with the Japanese Students. I am still bitter about not getting a Resident Assistant job but maybe next year, I hope.
