Update On... Well, My Life!

Haven't posted in eons. Lots to share. So here I go!

Extra Curricular Life
I've been mostly spending my time with my new blog JTUD (Journey To the Unknown Destination). Please read and go check it out! :D I'm working really hard! lol
I have to say, working with my mentor is really exciting! I get to work at a place called the FlatIron School. It's a really awesome place!  My mentor, Sara J Chipps, is really nice and awesome! (subscribe to her KittieBots!! ) She also introduces me to her coworkers, and they're awesome too. lool. Everything there is really cool. They have funky chairs and white-board tables and giant computers and projectors.
The Subway next door is my savior because I always find myself rushing out the door to get to the place (it's an hour travel time haha). However, I tried going to someplace across the street today. It was super yummy and the service was nice too! ...except, I think the server tried hitting on me LOL. (cuz I'm just so beautiful. Just kidding! XD hahaa...). Then on my way back to the building, this pamphlet distributor guy came up to me, and was like "Do you wanna tour the statue of liberty" and I'm like "No thank you". Then he wouldn't leave me alone LOL Started asking me if I worked around the area, and I really didn't want to explain my whole mentor-apprenticeship thing. It's really none of his business anyway LOL so I just said "Yeaa.....(lets go with that lol)". Then he asked me out to lunch. ((THE SINGLE BE THIRSTY. LOL. I told my single friend that, and he got upset with me XD. idk. I'm sorry)) I kindly declined the pamphlet guy, and ran into my building. hahaa....... is it just me, or is it really uncomfortable to be hit on? Not trying to show off or anything, but idk I'm young and it makes me nervous Dx. Anyways, my Intel project is going really well! Meeting all these different kinds of people and having the experience of these travels are amazing. The freedom ;w;. The hopes of the future. The memories.

Current Love Life
This Saturday (Feb 22) is my one year anniversary with my boyfriend!!
We're just going to hang out at my house and watch movies :)
I really do love him ^____^ or whatever you want to call this warm, fuzzy feeling in me that makes me just wanna run through a field of flowers screaming for joy.
I mean it does get rough between us (I mean it has been a year after all). We just get sick of each other sometimes, but we usually figure it out in the end :)
He's really the best! Deals with all my female moody troubles and loves me despite all flaws. He doesn't try to fix me, and that's what I love the most. (lol... well, he is a super tryhard in the fixing dept. when it comes to League of Legends though.... but boys will be boys XD). I mean there are things I like and don't like, but that's normal in everyone. My biggest problem is always thinking I'm not good enough. I don't know. Despite how confident I am, whenever it comes to opening myself up, I'm scared the one I love won't accept what's inside :c ...yea, deep stuff, but... it's how I feel.
On a more happier note, haha, I'm reallyyy excited to see him Saturday! It's mid-winter break right now, so I haven't seen him in FOREVER (*cough. cue in that one person to say "it's only been 7 days..."). Honestly, I'm just so addicted to the happiness he brings me that even a weekend apart makes me die from missing him. ♥

School Life
LOL. Like I don't even want to talk about this. I'm doing pretty okay, I guess. My only grade in the 80s is AP Human Geography (but that's because I have the crappiest memory in this world), but it's only like an 88-89ish. just need that 0.5 on my 89 to get that 90 ;w; plsplspls.On my midtermss, I think someone replaced my brain for the whole midterms week because all of them were in the 80s. I don't know why, but when it comes to test, my brain shuts off and gets substituted by a dummy. EXCEPT MY ENGLISH WAS A 98. omg. English is just my favorite most loved subject in the world ♥♥♥.

I feel like I'm going to die in Junior year. I'm hoping to take AP Java, AP US history, AP Psychology, and Intel.

Life in General
I feel poor .___.
Spending money to take train to mentor. Spending money to buy clothes (i think i hav an addiction). Spending money to buy birthday gifts. Spending money to buy food. Spending money on cake (i totes hav an addiction). Spending money on things I want in general.
Money is too big of a part in life LOL.

I'm facing fashion bipolar-ness. I can't choose between punky tomboy or cutie-pie girly as my style. I find myself constantly switching between the two. what is identity? what is style? LOL. My ripped jeans and rockin' black vest or my pink glasses and lace-y shirts. Haha #TeenageGirl.

I LEARNED TO CROCHET. it's so amazing. I make hats. I make scarves as gifts. I make couple scarves for my love and I. ♥ It's such a fun hobby. IM SO SAD THOUGH. I found this perfect yarn store. And as I finally found her, turns out, she's going out of business by the end of this February. fate is cruel ;A;. I bought like a pound of yarn for $10. that's amazing.

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...

Extra Credit Homework?

My English teacher can be pretty weird and a little zoned out sometimes. ^ ^;; She gave us extra credit homework to do over spring break. It was to go to some kind of website, and do book 3 of the ELA test from last year. But you want to know something odd? It's really really quite odd. When I went to the website she told us to go to, there was no book 3! > < It was so stupid. I spent half an hour looking for that stupid book 3!! Ugh! I don't think it exist...you know the book 3. I don't think it exists >.>. My English teacher probably just made a mistake. Everyone does (me for example! ^ ^ ...wait should I say that so enthusiastically?). Sigh~ but I vaguely remember her saying that she'll give us extra credit for whatever work we did from that website. So, I think I'm still going to do the extra credit. I could use the extra credit. I have a 95 in English, so I really want to raise it. Lolz, my friends couldn't find book 3 so they gave up. I guess they didn't have the motivation to want to do the work anyways, so they gave up real easily. One of my friends made a big deal about printing it, and it's really annoying when you tell someone you don't know but they keep questioning you for an answer.  I was like "I don't know if we have to print it!?!?" And she was like "... but I think I heard her say we needed to print it" I then told her "Well, that's nice...print it then. Ink is, well you know, expensive... so I'm not going to print it xD" But my friend tends to like to follow the rules a lot and questions everything -and I mean everything - that does not go with that rule. So she goes and says "I'm going to print it." I was just sitting there thinking, "ok..." it's like she expects that stating that she's going to print will make me want to print it xD. People are weird. We're not even sure if what we're doing is the correct work, so no way am I going to waste my ink. Ink is so damn expensive nowadays! Sigh~ so I'm going to save my ink for important stuff...like when I need to photocopy pages from manga ... lolz xD yea I'm weird like that. Thus! I cannot waste my ink on printing out a 10+ page test that I don't even know if I'm going to get extra credit for. Lolz I find using my ink for photocopying manga pages than printing out extra credit homework. No wonder some people call me weird (ok not some, everyone I know calls me that). And I don't do much with the manga pages. I just put them in my binder and look at them. Ok.. not really. xD that's kind of a waste. So I sometimes trace the manga pages and maybe change the wording in the bubbles. I suck at drawing, so I trace pictures. I'm a professional tracer (not something I can really brag about). But it's not as boring as it sounds. I sometimes creatively trace multiple pictures on the same piece of paper, combining them into one ^ ^ ... >.> which isn't anything new or original. I bet a lot of people do that. I'm planning on studying photoshop and illustrator over the summer so I can make epic computerized pictures! :D hm...but I'm a real procrastinator and a pretty lazy person, so I don't know how my learning of photoshop and illustrator will go...
So, do you have any wacko teachers who give you non-existing work?
And do you plan far into the future and probably never end up doing it?
that's all for today!
^ ^ ta ta~
