me, a writer?

So today my dad had said something rather interesting to me.
Has to do with life, and what I plan on doing with it.

Of course, I told him what I tell everybody. "I want to be a robotics engineer."
It's just easy to say. Sounds cool enough. Makes ya sound smart too. Like you got big goals in life.
Eventually, I believed that I really wanted to become one.

But I really don't know if I want to or not for sure. I mean.. I'm not doing anything special to reach that goal.

Dad laughed at me when I said that.
"Do you really want to be that?" He chuckled.

"Yea, why not?"

"I don't know. Really sounds like you're just saying that."

damn. caught me red handed. leave up to dad to see right through me like that.

"What do you mean?" I asked, playing dumb. I'm quite good at that; playing dumb.

"You aren't doing anything. You're not passionate enough to really mean that." and after that he left to go work on something. I was doing the dishes at the time, so I couldn't really go follow him.
I felt the need to defend myself. To say I really do plan on becoming an engineer. But I didn't see the point.

I started thinking to myself. "I want to become a robotics engineer to build a gundam, right?"
Ha of course I'm only joking about that. It'd be so cool if I built one though >w< !! LOL But I'm too stupid to build something so cool XD.

"If not a robotics engineer... than what?" I started thinking about all sorts of jobs that exist in the world.
Everything seems so hard though =___=;;.

Not gonna be a doctor. I'm not very good at remembering medical terms/symptoms or just things in general. I think I'll end up killing someone instead of curing them ^ ^;;. Can't be a lawyer... too much reading >___> and again, I probably can't memorize all the laws and stuff. Can barely remember the ten amendments xP. Can't be a circus clown or something foolish like that either because that's just uh.. not my thing XD.

I want to do something that's fun!
And doesn't take me eight or eleven years of college to do.
That pays well.
Don't want it to bore me after awhile either.
I want something that I can actually be good at too.

That's when I thought about it. Writing.
It sounded a bit silly at first.
I mean me being a writer? Sounds so odd when you think about it. (or maybe that's just me xD)
Doesn't sound as cool as a robotics engineer xD but it's still something pretty cool!

Don't need to go to any fancy college to learn to write well.
I can make millions if I write something good.
It's fun, and it never seems like a chore to do.
And I'm not too shabby at it either x3

So I guess I wanna be a writer! LOL xD I feel like a child. always changing what I want to be in life.
Haven't told dad about this yet ^ ^;.
Not sure what he's gonna say. A writer isn't exactly what he's been expecting from me.. >__>. Some bad ass graphics designer or something is what he wants. But ^ ^; lets face it, I'm too impatient to learn any of that stuff. To make him happy, I'ma learn how to do those kinds of things sometime or another though... I just don't feel it being something I wanna do for a living.

LOL But I'ma need a plan B because being writer is like being an artist. If no one likes your art than you're so screwed~ XD. You'll make no money. Haha so I guess being a robotics engineer shall be my plan B ^___^.

Anyways, to fix the whole haven't-told-dad-yet issue, I'ma try writing a book. If it's any good, I'll show him, and tell him my career change. That way, he'll see I'm not just kidding about this like I semi-was for the robotics engineer thing :3

I plan on finishing my book before summer ends. I wonder how successful things'll be ^^.

Oh ho ho~ I'm quite excited about this :D !!

Now, all my blog viewers must promise to buy my book once I'm done with it, okay? ^^

LOLOL Just kidding~ <3. You don't have to buy if you don't want to.
But seriously, if my book turns out to be any good, you people should buy it XD.

Umm...but I must warn you. I have a tendency of giving up half way or missing the deadline, so if I end up not finishing by the end of summer vacation than I am terribly sorry in advance ^ ^;.

Lets hope I write this book though, ne? :D

Nom Nom Craze...and stuff

I'm starting to eat a lot D':
I don't know why. The amount of food my stomach needs to be satisfied has increased.
My dad says that since I'm working more, I burn more calories; which in returns makes me eat more.
Burning calories is good. Eating more is bad because I just regain those calories >_>.
This is ...very unpleasant news :\
"nom nom nom" is the sound people use for eating nowadays xD
so I titled today's post as "nom nom crazy" ^ ^ makes sense, ne? But I think it sounds kinda stupid now xD lol. 

Anyways, what totally sucks more than gaining calories, is that since I have after school activities and my job, I have like no time to study!
I wake up at 6:00 a.m. (instead of 5) so I can get more sleep in (since you need sleep to work efficiently). *suddenly starts ranting about daily schedule* I leave for school at 7:30, so during that hour of time I have, I study (because my teachers love giving pop quizzes >3<). So once I reached school, I learn stuff for 6 hours -__-. I have after school activities (which include doing volunteer work for teachers and tutoring a little girl on tues. to thurs.). Those after school activities don't end until 3:15 p.m. After that I go straight to my job, which I have to walk to (about 6 blocks away). And I stay until 6:00 p.m. I come home. Eat dinner and take a shower. By then it'll be 8:00. I'm so tired, but I do homework (usually don't finish until 10 or 12 depending on amount). I go straight to sleep, and repeat the process. TT^TT no time you see?

And as the week ends, I have my beautiful weekend to look forward to ^w^
Wrong! >3<
I have to study Dx
sigh~ this totally sucks. xD but I can handle it. Once the testing is over, than I can go back to being lazy x). But I still have the job thing >_>. LOL xD as long as I'm making money, I don't really care.
Oh! My job. Okay, update on that. Turns out I'm sticking with Boss and Kohai-chan. Boss's friend said that because I'm not a "professional," I'll still get paid the same; which totally sucks :T. Luckily though, Boss likes me a lot, so she's willing to raise my pay. I feel kinda bad though ^ ^;;. She has to fire someone in order to raise my pay. But in my defense, that person never shows up >_> so I think she kinda should get fired. Anyways, now I'm making $15 a day instead of $6. Yay! v(^ ^)v

Sigh~ got to go study now D;
bye bye for now :)

The End Already?

Hmm....yea...I quit my job today :3. *silence....*
Lol xD yea so anyways~ long story short, I found out how much I was getting paid today. My dad and I think the payment is totally not worth the work. I work 3 hours a day everyday, and I get paid $30 a week. That means I'm only getting $2 an hour. My dad said with the work I do I should be getting at least $20 an hour. With such an amount difference, I decided to quit. Boss likes me a lot, so she said that she could fire someone else in order to keep me. Meaning, I'd get double of what she was paying me. That's still not reaching the desired value. Plus, if she does that, I think she's mostly likely to fire Kohai-chan. I can't let her fire Kohai-chan! That's just not right :\. Sigh~ the job was kind of fun too. However, luckily, Boss(or would it be ex-boss?), has a friend who does similar business as her. This friend can supposedly pay the amount of money that I wish. It's so nice of Boss to help me get a new job even though I quit from the one she gave me. My dad said it's because Boss likes me a lot. He also said he was very proud of me for doing so well that my Boss would like me so much just after working for two days. Even though I quit, I'm still going to finish up this week's work and still get paid :). . . . >_> I'm starting to think when my sister wasn't so wrong to call me a greedy....(but she was about the "stingy old hag" part!)
Hm...I wonder what my new boss will be like :3. And if I think I'll nickname them Boss-lady or Boss-man xD (I'm so not creative with names).

Anyways, I promised all the lil' kiddies that I'd make them origami lilies. Apparently, elementary kids are very fascinated about origami x). There's like 20 children, so I gotta start making them now ^ ^;;. I hope I get done with them quickly...

First Time on the Job ;D

I got my first job yesterday !! Yay~ ^ ^!! I'm very excited.
I was going to tell you all about it yesterday after it happened, but I didn't get finished with all my homework until 12, and I have to wake up at 6 am D': so I didn't get the time to blog. Forgive meh please OTL ! lol I'm gonna blog about it now, so I guess no worries x3.
It was all very shocking/surprising when it all happened. In truth, I didn't plan or ask for the job xD. Yesterday, when I came out of the school building after my after school activities, I saw my dad's car drive up to me. I was like "Yay! Now I don't need to walk home x3" However, the first thing he tells me is "I got a job for you." I think I watch too many movies because when he said that I was totally thinking about assassination jobs xD lolol I'm so weird because of course I'd never be hired for such a thing (or would I? x3). With the thought of assassination jobs, I looked at my dad as if he were crazy. Eventually though, reality hit meh and I asked the logical question of "W-what kind of job...?" xD. He then precedes to tell me about what I'm going to do. Except, what he said was super weird and confusing. My dad has the tendency to explain things in a rather long, boring, unnecessary way xD so a lot of the times, I have to take what he says and translate it into what I call "Emiko Language," meaning a language that I can understand (i do this for a lot of ppl i kno actually ^ ^;;). Anyways, *gets off topic too easily* basically I was hired to help a group of kids with their homework and somewhat babysit them. It's like one of those places that kids go to after school while their parents are at work. All I did yesterday was correct homework, and help around a bit. My hours are 3 to 6. Which is perfect because my after school activities don't end until 3 (meaning i'll be slightly late though which my "boss" said was okay. hmm...I think i'll nickname my boss, boss xD thats not what i call her though irl.). There's also two other people who work there. One of them were absent. I found out that one  of those two people happen to go to my school. She's a grade younger than me, so I'm going to name her Kohai-chan (underclassmen). Anyways, she's okay. Kohai-chan is a very impatient person because whenever the kids don't listen to her, she just yells "SHUT UP!" at them. Not the best way to handle kids ^ ^;; I would know since I have 3 younger siblings. The kids don't take Kohai-chan very seriously, and laugh at her attempts to calm everyone down. She's still really nice though; helpful and friendly. She laughs with the kids a lot. I wish to be close the kids like that as well. All the kids there are like 1st grade to 5th grade (basically elementary kids). Since these kids are so young, they're a total pain in me bum! I swear those kids were are crazy!! There was one kid who tried to escape out the door! Me and Kohai-chan had to run after him. I was freaking out! Like what kind of kid does this?!? When he first ran past me and too the door, I was like "wtf is happening?!" It took awhile to process everything through my brain. Kohai-chan ran after him, and the instinct to help her kicked in, so I ran out the door too. He fell down, and we held him. He actually started rolling on the floor to break free of our grasp. To get him back inside, we had to carry him by his hands and feet. I couldn't believe a kid would actually try and break free...then a few other kids tried the same thing >_>. Some even tried to get out by the windows. Of course it was all just a game to them. It's not like we torture them or anything...
With all this said, you can imagine how "excited" I am to go back again today!*sarcasm* haha okay seriously though, I kinda am. It's a good experience, and I get paid lol xD.

ps. wanted to post a bunch of pics i took of exia and a souvenir i got form Katrina-chan, but that'll make this entry too long, so i'll post it tomorrow.
but for a sneak peak, you could go check out my deviantart account. I posted two on there. ^ ^
