Last Semester!!

AHHHH!!! I see it now...the END!!!

Haha!! So this week marks the end of my college journey. I am excited and scared for what is to come.

I wish anyone who is in the same shoes, or close to it the best of luck!!! May the force be with you :) Study hard, but make some time for yourself too. I have to work a little harder on the first part though ;)

Ending the Semester

WOW!! This semester was so intense!! I mean, I knew it was going to get more and more nuts, but I was so not preparing for this!!!

Presentation after presentation, then a bunch of exams. That's how it went for about 3 or 4 weeks after Spring Break. I mean, part of it is my fault because I really didn't do any of the stuff I had planned to do so that my workload wouldn't be that bad.

Hah...the end is near, and this is the first semester in a while where I feel I will get grades that I want :)

Hope everyone else is surviving well!!

It Is OFFICIAL!!! I Am Almost Done!

Hah!!! Never thought I'd say those words...ever! Anyway, after meeting with my advisor last week, it turns out that after taking one summer school class, I'll be able to graduate in the fall :) Now, what I am gonna do afterwards...I don't know :( I really want to do the JET program, but I'm just too affraid that my less than impressive grades may not allow me to do so. I really am trying to get those grades up, but it is really hard. I have one teacher that is really lousy. He does not know how to teach, and he has a really heavy Chinese accent, so it's hard to understand him. I think the worst part is that the way he words his tests is in the same grammatical structure that he speaks...grrrrr!!!

Well...yessss...the end is finally nearing :) That is all that is important to me really...

Ah! Next month, my family is throwing a surprise birthday party for my grandma! She is turning 80 :) Somehow in the planning of it all...I got elected to MC the thing? How that happened...I have no clue! My awesome friends will be helping with the entertainment...yay!!! Finally one Okinawan performance I will have quality control of :) Will update when that happens.

Onto other news: onerepublic concert is on Monday (President's Day) and I am excited to go. The only thing is that I think it's only standing room, so I don't really know what kind of shoes I'm gonna wear...most likely something flat, but I don't know!

Ok...I will update you on how the concert was and any other exciting news that may come up!

Trying to FInish the Game

So I have an appointment to see my advisor next week--YAY!! That is the first step :) Anyway, it takes a lot out of me to have to see people like that...especially when I have no idea what they're going to think of me (hopefully not: this is the worst student that will ever pass through these grounds).

So, I looked at a graduation worksheet for the first time in like 2 years :P which is why I was surprised to find out I should have been taking other classes before I got into Shidler. Well, at least it's not too late...I have two summer sessions that I can partake in, and the fall semester, which is when I would like to graduate. Thankfully I did take business writing and business law at KCC, so I am a step ahead of some of the other guys that I started the Shidler adventure with.

So I still have to look into the JET thing. It makes me scared, but at the same time I really want to do it. It would be the first time I ever lived away from home, and in a foreign country? Gosh...that almost makes me wanna pee in my pants :P

So, I'm glad I'm keeping up (sorta) with the blogging...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Update + Nail Polish News

So lately I've been just a busy bee. With school and work, and of course the holidays...I think I really stretched myself thin this winter. Not to mention I got kinda sick :P Anyway...got some cool stuff for Christmas, hopefully this will encourage me to not shop to much in 2011...

Well...as I closed of 2010, I did a bunch of nail polish shopping :D I really haven't been into the nails in a while. Of course I have been doing my nails because I really can't stand the site of my naked nails, but I wasn't really into doing anything new lately :( I picked up a bunch of new nail colors that had been in China Glaze's previous collections from last year that didn't sell I guess so they were there for the taking...but what has intrigued me a bit has been the new colors from the Anchors Away collection for this spring.

Check out swatches from their facebook page (* = ones I am looking forward to seeing):
