2008 19 November :: 2.08pm
I've currently gotten 54.2 percent of available points in chem (asuming an 80, which is lowball, in the lab section)
Thirty percent of the points are still up for grabs.
I need a 77 percent to get a B-.
0.542 + (x).3=.77
I need to get a 76 percent average between my next two exams.
If I get the B-, a 4 credit E turns into a 4 credit B-, and my GPA jumps from a 2.75 to a 3.0.
Add in a decent semester from my other classes, and I could break, or at least be safely on the side of 3.1.
shits actually looking up a little.

I got shackled into helping a neighbor move there desk this last weekend. Ya thanks mother...
She played the guilt trip on me about I should help them because one of them has cancer. Thats worse that me not wanting to help. Dont get me wrong Im not a complete ass, but unfortunatelly I think Im already kind enough elsewhere.
Moving there computer turned into backing up these peoples computer, having emails dictated to me to type out, and unmangling a big desk from the myriad of electronics wrapped into it. Computer, speakers, scanner, printer, fax machine, lamps, power cords, phone wire, network cable, power strips...etc.
It also wasnt a 20min ordeal like both my mother and these people made it out to be. THAT pissed me off most. Its now been 2 days. 3hrs on the sunday and 1hr yesterday. I expect another 1-2hrs setting that bullshit up again when they move it downstairs.
Im afraid of other peoples electronics setup's. I dont want to go near them for fear I burst into flames when I see how bad it is. I dont want to break them. I dont want to fix them. Why? because to each his/her own.
What I see fit to destroy is not what others will.
Playing guilt cards on me isnt a good set. Especially when its from family or work. Both end up needing to be a good nice person outwardly. I dont do that. I do it inwardly. Thus why I sulk outwardly.
Tonight is zombie fun I think. Cant decide if I will purchase Left 4 Dead tonight.
The workout is underway. Its the standard issue plan from the navy. Just something to keep after while going through the winter. Nothing special. Just plenty of running/swimming pushups, sittups, and pullups. For the moment Ive skipped the pullup's and gone with crunches. I dont exactly have a spot to do pullups without hurting something in the house.
I need to buy a new pair of running shoes. Both mine fell apart and I totally forgot about it.
Saturday is poker night. Woot. Hope to steal some money.
A lot of folks would say me doing this is stupid because they dont think Ill actually be going. Well...thanks for adding the grains of salt to reasons why I will go.
Like a true psycho I actually think I need someone yelling at me telling me what to do and when and how. I need the direction.
I lack the discipline.
Im not looking for it to be a damn day at the amusement park. Im looking for being in the damn USMC! I look forward to the 10mile runs with 40lbs or more strapped onto me. I look forward to being woke up at 6am by someone yelling at me. I look forward to being brough to my breaking point and getting past it. I look forward to being a Marine.
Bill time today. Sigh. I hate bills.
I should go socialize a bit more and like...attempt stuff...
More stuff later.

so, i saw the first cut of the summer film today. well, it's already been through several revisions. but this was the first public screening.
i will say, some things turned out really well. some did not. i'm glad to see that it came together okay, at least. i would have been pissed if it sucked, and surprised if it was out of this world. i still think some of the big problems with the story are in the script itself, and are therefore beyond fixing at this point. i also think that cleaning up the audio will do wonders. and that is going to be a formidable task. i'm just wondering if my class next semester is going to have to do all that. it would be interesting. then i'd have my hands on it during two phases of the process, instead of just one. that would be weird.
other than that, just business as usual. falling steadily farther behind in all of the important classes, with the one class that i'm doing best in the only class i'm actually making headway on.
it'll all come together in the end. i just hope the collision isn't too catastrophic for me to keep it together.
and in the meantime, just keep plugging away at it, little by little. but i am also running out of time, which means a step up in pace is in order.

It's pathetic how I find myself defending why I love my boyfriend after 3 years, to people who know me better than a lot of people.
And they tell me that I'm not happy.
But truth be told, I am the happiest I've ever been.
In high school, I was a train wreck.
I was always depressed, crying over never-meant-to-be relationships, drama ate at me like I was a thanksgiving turkey, and I was stressed out the moment I stepped foot into my house.
I was constantly being told what to do.
And I hated every moment of the life I lived outside of my friends.
I may not hang out with my friends as much as I used too, and those relationships may have grown awkard over the past 3 years.
But I truly am happy.
I finally have someone I love that I can come home to everyday, and wake up to every morning.
It may not be the best of relationships, but I am happy.
After this long, I shouldn't have people who I feel I can trust, telling me that I should have a baby, but not until I get a different boyfriend.
I haven't felt that hurt in awhile.
Many of you feel the same way, but don't judge until you know the whole story.
I shouldn't have to defend my life to others.

So yeah... I've got some time so I guess I'm about ready to update you guys.
Been pretty stressful here, as far as classes go. But I've managed to maintain an A- so I'm alright in that department. Plus I got an 88 on the last test with a class average of 62. My theory is that someone just didn't show up, regardless...
I really need to take some pictures of where I am at. I noticed that all my pictures are of me drinking. Not to say that I'm not drinking a lot, a problem I need to find a solution for desperately, but I'm not JUST drinking. I'm doing a lot of things recently. I guess the problem is that I have a hard time taking pictures of anything interesting because I feel like such a tourist. I will do a lot of things here because I don't really care what the people think of me, and it gets me somewhere usually. For some reason, though, I can't seem to take pictures. Soon enough I will get some real good ones.
Speaking of drinking, this weekend is sure to be packed to the brim of fun. starting tomorrow morning I'm going to some elementary school to play games with kids. It's mandatory, which kind of pisses me off. I've already volunteered to do a few of these kinds of things and I'd rather just sleep in, but you know, I guess I gotta do what I gotta do.
So after waking up at around 8 and getting back at around 12, I have 2 hours or less to just chill out for awhile, before I have to bike to the train station to catch a train to Kyoto. Luckily they are paying for the ticket for me. By them, I mean some Women's College of some sort or another. They are loaded, and have decided to pay for a few of us to take a train and a taxi (keep in mind that a taxi is about 2 dollars per foot, fucking expensive) to the school, and then for the ride back. I'm not actually taking the train back though...
Afterwards, Nate, Nick, and I are going to chill in Kyoto and see what happens for awhile. They claimed that the event won't end until 8, and I'm still not sure exactly what we are doing there. I think we are just trying to help them with their english or something, who knows.
So I imagine we'll eat some food, get some liquor, do some shopping or something, and maybe buy a burger and McDonalds so we can take a nap. Yes you just read that correctly.
Around 10-10:30 we are meeting up with Kelly, Yui, Shige, Adam, Megumi, and maybe one of her friends, at which point we will consume endless amounts of alcohol and then attempt to do some clubbing of some sort. This will last, I'm assuming until about 5 in the morning.
Then, I will be fucked, I'll die on the train home, barely crawl into bed and go into a desperately needed coma until about 2 or 3 that afternoon.
I'll wake up, try to get some homework done, and then head out to the bar to bid my friends farewell as they head off to live in Tokyo.
Sunday, maybe I'll rest, we'll see....
I have a meeting with my teacher now for some conversation time so I will catch you chaps later.
だから、今私は先生と話に行きます。今週の週末にとても急がしくなります根から、らいしゅうぜんぜん話しないと思います。じゃあ、まったね。

ATTENTION!
Yo Internet Peeps:
My radio show is currently up and running. It has been for several weeks.
I'm sick of not having any listeners. The show sucks, because I don't try, because nobody listens, because I didn't advertise very well. Or at all.
So, I will be attempting to change this.
The show is currently: MONDAYS @ 4PM LISTEN HERE!
I'm thinking about doing a couple of themed shows. Maybe one entirely off of youtube, or one entirely of "red hot jazz" (think 1920s).
If you can't listen at that time, I totally understand. Which is why when I reschedule next semester, I will be asking for your input as far as what times on what days are good times to have my show, so I will hopefully have more listeners. Because I want to do something that everyone will enjoy, at a time that is convenient for them.
So, hopefully you can listen at that time for the next couple of months.
More updates will come later.
Peace,
Chris

Musics of the world. Wtf.
The way to pull 10 pages of B.S. is not to spew a continues stream of B.S. at at blank paper. Eventually, the stream of B.S. will become unstable and fall apart. At some point you end up with different sections of B.S. that don't mix together. The paper will fail.
The Proper method is to gob out one dense lump of B.S. Then, Smear this intellectual turd all over the remaining pages until all the pages are mostly covered.
Think of the turd itself is the thesis statement. All your idea's combined into a dense lump. The sections and sub points are all some facet of this original idea (see turd). The parts where you ripped a chunk off the original lump and proceeded to smear it around a specific page or two.
I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that knowing how to write the dam paper is whats important. Rarely will they care if the concept or idea is faulty.
Unless your teacher is good.
Mine is.
So I've got to eat that turd and see if i cant digest it into something usefull.

So much for things looking up for me.....
Because now I'm doing absolutely fantastic. =] This situation is turning out to be so much better than I could have imagined, and it's nothing like I've ever had before. It's all so new to me, and I'm not sure how to react sometimes, but I wouldn't change a thing. =D

I feel like I have a lot of emotion to pour out.
But I don't know how to put a lot of it into words.
It's been so long since I have vented any of my emotions.
I think that its because Im gradually getting better at telling Mike how I feel instead of bottling it up, and then just lashing out at him the next time he pisses me off.
Its kind of pathetic that after 3 years I still have a hard time telling him how I feel about certain things.
Most the time I am just trying to spare him the hurt, because I am a harsh bitter person.
I used to blame his daughter for every little thing, and I'd hide out in the bedroom when she'd come over.
But I've overcome that, and I think that I am even coming around to the thought of having kids eventually.
I think I'm growing up..
