5:48 pm	it's been a while I just got linked to LJ by a friend and decided "what the hell?" so here I am, updating for the first time since March! :3 Work is going well, I love working in the restaurant. Though now it seems like I'm so busy, I don't have time for drawing, and when I do want to draw, nothing happens. No inspiration, and my fingers just won't do what I want them to. It's pretty depressing ^^; It's really weird, but it's like when I get better at one thing, I get worse at everything else, or they suffer, somehow. Anyways, I've joined an Original; Character Contest! I have until the 6th of November! No slacking this time! ooh, video games.. -wanders off- Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: Simply Being Loved (Somnambulist) - BT (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:08 pm	Job~ Ahhh, wow, how long has it been since I used this thing? ahaha. So, yes, that's correct, I have a job now! I am now the newest employee at a restaurant called Fratelli's. It's a rather nice place, and I'm a dishwasher. I suddenly feel for all those people back there in the kitchens. It's hot, it's crowded, there's TONS of work to do. Working solidly for my entire 6 hour shift, I still managed to have a mad dash at closing to clean all the pots and pans so the kitchen staff could go home on-time, and two bins of dishes were left unwashed (maximum you can have unwashed overnight at any given date.) THIS IS JUST A MONDAY D: I would HATE to see what Friday is like. On the flipside, I get 8 an hour, and for my first two weeks, I'll be working four days, three of them 4:30 to 10:30, and one of them 5-10:30. This means MONEY! Oh maaaan, it's lots of work, but it will be so worth it when I get my paycheck X3 Current Mood: exhausted (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:56 am	so I was shown this cool place where you can download tv shows and some movies, kind of like youtube except for the fact the screen are much bigger with a better picture. From shows like Lost and House to animes like FLCL or Cardcaptor Sakura, seems like it's got a lot. http://www.allfg.org/ Check it out if you're interested, I'm watching FLCL right now x3 er.. waiting for it to load. -curses slow computer- Current Mood: calm (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:13 pm	bunch of stuff.. So yesterday, I had a pretty bad scare with classes. I've already missed two of my Tuesday classes and two of my thursday classes due to sickness. Unfortunately, 80% attendance is mandatory, and I only have one of each class per week. For 13 weeks. Basically, I miss one more class and I can't be passed. So yesterday morning, I was up until about 3 in the morning finishing up the latest assignment I had to finish and hand in that day. And I guess.. when I went to bed, I changed the time on the alarm, but I didn't TURN IT ON D: My class started at.. oh.. 9 am x_x I woke up at.. 10:30? yeah. Grabbed my stuff, ran out the door without showering, brushing my teeth, no food and no time to stop for food. When I wopke up, I thought the clock actually said 11:30. And class is over at noon. By the time I actually got to school it was quarter to 11, and I looked at the clock and I swear I could've died from the relief. Because I showed up, I only got a warning. And I have so much stuff to do in all my classes x_x Art School is a lot more stressful than I thought it would be, but maybe it's also because I'm on my own, and have a bad work ethic, ahaha xD On a side note, tomorrow there's a hallowe'en party going on that I've been invited to. It's a BYOA party, and I'm walking/maybe taxi-cabbing 'cause it's a ten minute drive. I won't drink, since I hate the taste of almost all alcohol (unless there's Baileys, then I'd kill for it xD; ). Should be interesting. The guy who invited me doesn't know about my sexual preference, either xD it was so awkward in the sculpture room, he asked me if there were any girls at the school I would make out with @_@ ahaha, in my head I was thinking "well, you're not too bad looking.." but I eventually just stammered out that I wouldn't kiss anyone xD It's supposed to be a hallowe'en party.. but since I'm walking I won't have a costume. The last thing I need is to be either sweating from layers, freezing from not enough layers, or getting laughed at for looking like an idiot walking for half an hour to forty minutes x_o Tom said the penalty for not showing up in costume would be 5 shots of straight vodka.. if he wasn't kidding, it's not really a problem, I can handle my liquor well, especially shots. But I'd prefer if he was only joking xD; I'm going to look so anti-social, I'll only know him and another girl x_x -so incredibly shy in new situations- BUT I'M DETERMINED! It'll be my FIRST friendly night out in two months! And holy crap this journal is huge.. This has to be the most I've ever written about myself ever xD. Haruchan talking about kitties getting into his home made me miss my fat orange kitty, so I found a picture I took of him and saved it to my computer xD Look! it's my kittycat <3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/Korrin/kittycat-1.jpg Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: Byakuya, True Light - Miyamoto Shunichi (7 Comments |Comment on this)

3:57 pm	I know, I know, I hardly post to this thing EVER. I'm so terrible etc. etc. So life in Ottawa's actually kind of boring. Admittedly, it's a lot better than I thought it would be. I was partially dragged here kicking and screaming, after all, since I'm , y'know, such a huge baby and all that stuff xD Now that I'm here, now that I'm attending school, and now that I have two prospective job choices, I think I'm doing ok. My social life is slowly building back up, thanks to Gilda and Thomas, and with no thanks to Marie 'cause she sucks and I haven't seen her except for one hour two weeks ago since the day I got here x_o which was actually my birthday, so I am hyappy about that. But she still owes me cake! >D So I have classes Tuesday through Friday.. and Tuesday classes are a little boring, and Thursday classes are really exhausting x_o standing for three hours drawing a model who shifts positions every thirty seconds isn't quite what I had in mind, but I do have to admit that gestures and contour drawings have been helping me out so much. I feel as if I've already progressed. And about those jobs, I'm actually a little worried. I've never had a callback in my life, the only job I've ever had, my mother referred me to her friend in sorority who owned the place, and I went directly to the interview. Then I was let off because they hired too many damn people :/ I was actually enjoying myself there, too. But these places are far far FAR away from Fast Food. "Fairmont Chateua Laurier" and "The Courtyard Restaurant", both located about 10-15 minutes walk from my home, both involving intensive hours, and semi-intensive work, and like, 10 dollars an hour minimum @_@ I reeeeally want to work there, but I'm afraid my resume will put them off or something x_x the worst is if they don't want you, they just never contact you. It's terrible, and to me it's absolutely frightening x_x Well, wish me luck, at least x3 I keep saying this, but I really need to go buy groceries.. everytime I go I forget what I want, and I can only take home what I can carry, sicne I have to walk. At the very least, I will never buy chunky brand soup again in my life. It tasted like salty chicken fat with soppy veggies in. x_o disgusting. That's it for now, I think. This has been entry number one of La_Menthe x3 If you made it through the whole thing, I'm amazed O_o Current Mood: just woke uuuuup x_x Current Music: none (16 Comments |Comment on this)
