Hush, Love, Don't cry,
It'll be alright,
Hold me close,
As I administer the dose,
Listen to my lullaby of lies.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf: This place, I believe, is called 'food libraries.'
Toki Wartooth: Fooood... libraries...

Mood: Exhausted...
Music: Ai Otsuka "Cherish"

So, it's been a while since I've posted. I've been busy working with Housekeeping here on campus. I get up every morning (Monday-Friday) at 5:30 so I can go in at 6:00. I work until 2:30 in the afternoon. I usually don't go to bed until after 10:00 because I wait up for Daku to call me. This week, I've been waking up every morning with a sore throat and I can't shake that feeling of exhaustion. I spent Wednesday night with my Sako-nee (off campus) because it was storming and there was a chance of hail. At the moment, I'm the only one in my dorm building and I don't handle storms very well when I'm alone...Anyways, today I woke up at 5:30, had the sore throat, and felt completely drained of energy, so I called my supervisor and told her I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be coming in today. I then went back to sleep until about 8:30. I tried going back to sleep then, but I couldn't, so I got up for the day. My sore throat went away, but I'm still exhausted...

Daku left Nebraska yesterday. He stopped in Kansas to visit his friend (the one that will be joining soon to guest post in my cosplay world) for today. He'll be leaving Kansas early tomorrow morning and I'll be going to his house to spend the rest of the weekend with him. I'm so excited!! It's been a long and lonely summer without him, but I'm proud of him for doing the research internship.

I've been slacking on drawing and writing fan fiction lately, largely due to the job...I need to draw at least two more pictures to sell as prints at A2F V!! And I need to add another chapter to my "Kingdom Hearts" fic, as well as finish my "Labyrinth" fic...And I need to finish reading Christopher Paolini's "Eldest" and Anne Rice's "The Tale of the Body Theif". At least I got that book read for my Education and Growth class...I'll have to read it again during the semester, but I read it before classes started so I would be able to understand it better...The guy who wrote it is really wordy, much like J. R. R. Tolkien...

Well, not much else going on. Classes start on August 25, so I'll be getting back into the grind of schoolwork then. Until then, I'll be working with Housekeeping. I hope I can keep that job when classes start. Of course, my hours will change to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 6:00 am to 11:00 am. I'll also be tutoring my friend, Lissa, in Art History. We'll have that class together.

Stay classy, Otakuites!

Free-fall...

Mood: tired...
Music: None (watching Drake & Josh)

So, my trip home was fun. I mostly sat around the house all day. Mantha spent the night on July 5, so the next day, we went to J-town and hung out. I bought a cute Lolita-ish dress at Body Central. It's mostly white, with black buttons, a black sash around the waist, and a black trim on the bottom. Then on the 7th, my grandma took me to a museum at the college in J-town. It was pretty cool. Then the 8th was my dad's birthday, but he wasn't home to celebrate. The 9th, I had a dentist appointment. I have to go back day before Thanksgiving and get a cavity filled, then sometime on the week between Christmas and New Year's, I have to get my 3 wisdom teeth removed...I'll be asleep for 2-3 days straight...My bottom left jaw is devoid of a wisdom tooth...I'm gonna enjoy being on those pain killers...

I started my job with Housekeeping here on campus yesterday. Already I've found 54 cents, total, and a pane of glass. Me and my partner, Andrea, also found "naughty fun-time" gel...I keep opening drawers wondering what will pop out next...It doesn't help that the building we were cleaning is one of the oldest on campus. In one room today, I got this extremely odd feeling, as did Andrea. I'm pretty sure that room was haunted. Then after work today, Andrea gave me this Inu Yasha art book that she'd found a week or so ago, all because I told her at lunch that I was into anime! How awesome is that?

My Rosiel wig came in today. It looks great! If I braided it, I might be able to pull off Sophie, from Howl's Moving Castle.

I'm going to go with Daku's parents and sisters tomorrow to see him in Nebraska. I don't know if the hotel we're staying in will have free wi-fi, so I may not be on for a few days again. I don't care...I just wanna see my shinobi...He's been gone since the last day of May...I'm so used to seeing him nearly every day that I feel empty inside right now...It's hard to just talk to him on the phone...

Well, stay classy, Otakuites!!

Mood: Sleepy...
Music: None...

So, things are starting to get pretty hectic. I had a stressful weekend this past weekend. Something happened that was beyond my control, and it really pissed me off and made me worried sick at the same time. It's a horrible feeling to have...If I could've prevented the event from happening, believe me, I would have! Unfortunately, I couldn't. Of course, everything has been worked out, and things are much better now.

The end of the semester is drawing near, which means that I'm going to have to write several papers and do some projects. Then of course, Finals Week...You know what? Let's just not go there...Anyways, I've got Sophomore Review to deal with on April 17th. It's something all the art majors have to go through here at the good ol' U of O...

My Education advisor has thrown out another option to me to help broaden my career choices: Preschool-8th grade certification. Right now, I'm working on an Art major and a Secondary Education major, and with the Secondary Ed major, she told me it would be VERY easy to get P-8 certification. Basically, I think I'll only have to take one more class than I would have...Unfortunately, that class is a State History class...I'm going to talk to that advisor on Wednesday at noon about this option. Both Daku and I believe it would be a very good idea. I probably need to run it by my parents, too.

Then after this semester is over, I'll get to jump right in to Maymester! That's pretty much just a bunch of Education classes rolled into one 3-week-long journey of learning...So I won't really get a break until June 5th. Of course, then I'll be starting a summer Work-Study job. Hopefully, I'll be working at the local special-needs preschool. I'm going to talk to the director Thursday...I really hope I get that position! I'm currently observing there, and I absolutely adore the 4-5 year olds! It's a dream job...See, back in 6th grade, I began working with the 3-6 year olds' Children's Church class at my church, and since then, I've gained a ton of experience working with children. I consider myself an amateur babysitter, as I've babysat many children during that period. So, yeah, that would be a dream job for me.

And May 30th or 31st, Daku will be leaving for Lincoln, Nebraska. He's doing a summer internship at UNL for 2 months...That's part of the reason I want to stay here over the summer. I couldn't stand living back at home with my parents during that time...I'd go absolutely nuts!! Not that I'm not already a bit insane anyways...But yeah, the summer Work-Study will help me make it through. I'm also considering doing an online course at a local Tech college. That'll help me be able to graduate in the next 4 semesters...

Well, I guess that's it...Stay classy, Otakuites!
