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

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

Bye Bye :(

The Japanese Student's left yesterday, and I didn't get to say goodbye. It's because I have been working like crazy, and I need to sleep. :( I really loved my conversation partner. I at least have her email. I missed the festival, graduation, and talent show because I was away, and work. I really hate that.
I know my conversation partner's name for the fall. I can't wait to meet her but I will miss the one I because she was amazing.
Now on another note...
The thing is though I let this program that could allow me to go to Japan tie me to my hometown university. My first choice was Animation at New Brunswick Community College Miramichi, and I was intimidated by the program so I didn't bother, this is back when you actually had to do a portfolio. I applied to Saint Thomas and University New Brunswick both for Education but the background check papers where too much for me. By the time it came around I said screw it Mount Allison for the Japanese program. Also the fact that it is cheaper. I really shouldn't have done that. I have a lot of regrets about that. Somethings happened that were good but that was after the school year was over, but I kept falling apart all over the place. I cannot let that happen again this year. I am retaking the courses I failed. I won't be staying though. I am completely scraping the Japan idea for teaching. Maybe I will go there someday. I don't have the GPA to be accepted in the program anyway. Holding onto something is what I am good at. I'd feel better at arts, something more hands on. Most of my courses in high school were arts related. I know where I am going, and I am excited. I feel bad for wasting money at Mount Allison.

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.
