Ok finally another update. Seems like i'm never online here anymore these days.

I'm still working in sales with my brother, but I've come to realize that its an amazing way to make lots of money with minimal effort. However, i don't want to stay here forever by any means, and am trying to figure out what kind of career to aim for.

Anyway, my brother just got married yesterday. The first wedding i have ever been to, and it was absolutely beautiful. I never pegged myself for a very sentimental person, but i cried through the whole thing, it was a little shocking lol. It was a big lavish wedding at a church and then a big reception dinner at a beautiful highend restaurant. My brother and his new wifey kept asking me if it had turned out okay, and i had to keep reassuring them that it was an absolutely beautiful and perfect wedding. They are the cutest couple EVER. Its funny, cuz now I have a huge chinese/indonesian family from her side hahaa. I've always had a pretty small family, so this is new and fun.

Meanwhile, I've joined sport kickboxing, and am going to hardcore classes twice a week. They work you hard!! its like martial arts bootcamp! They put like 100lb sacs on our backs and make us do lunges, and thats not even the worst of it. Its' hard and challenging, and friggin expensive, but its worth it, cuz i need to push myself to try new things and this will build my confidence as well as put me in super awesome shape (which is the real reason i joined haha).

Hmmmm that is all. lol.
I'm gonna try to spend more time on DA. And crank out some more art, cuz i should start building a portfolio, i'm playing around with the idea of going into graphic design and marketing. But who knows.
:shrug:

Well, its been a few weeks into my new job. What have i discovered? Quite simply, I suck at sales :XD:. Oh, and also that most people are childish, petty, and insane. The number of crazies and grown adults having temper tantrums in the store is shocking. theres even a huge amount of fighting among coworkers as well. What a gong show it is. :shakefist:

It's taking me quite a while to get used to selling things, and figuring out how to do everything, and know all about the products. Not to mention the fact that I drive the other workers insane with my constant questions :no:. Cellphones, internet, and TV are complicated dammit!!!
I work with my ex and my brother, and both of then are SOOO mean to me. If it keeps up, i'll either become immune, or i'll quit, probably the latter.

I almost miss cutting rat brains up all day :no:. Almost...

Killing time

Well, schools done, but now i don't know what to do with myself haha.
I started my new job, which is actually fun cuz my coworkers are cool. However, they're not training me right, so i have no clue what i'm doing and spend the whole day feeling like a complete idiot. Ah well, i guess i can handle it, especially since i'm being paid for pretty much doing nothing. :shrug:

But now i'm bored all the time. Boo. :shakefist:

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I havent been around for quite a while lately, other than the odd post in deviants forum out of procrastination...but now...classes and exams are OVER, and I am BACK.
YESSSS!!!
WHOOOOO!!!!
GRADUATIONNNN!!!! (well assuming i actually passed my classes which isn't that promising for a couple).

I'm actually not attending my grad ceremony, it seems like a waste of time. It feels so crazy to be done though! I was walking home after my last exam this morning...and just had a huge big dumb grin on my face. :dance:

Gone are the nights of endless cramming!!! Gone are the sitting for hours being lectured at. NO MORE PAPERS!!!! NO MORE TEXTBOOKS!!!
:excited:

Now it is PARTY TIME!!! And by partytime, i mean i'm going to clean my apartment for the first time in quite a while :XD:.

:heart:

Almost there...

Haven't posted a new journal for a while, probably because i haven't had anything to bitch and moan about for a while. :XD:.
Well I have completely every midterm this semester, which means, NO MORE MIDTERMS EVERRR!!!!!!!!!!! Granted i don't do something stupid and go for post-grad education ;P.
I actually did a lot better than expected, in fact ,i'm a little embarassed cuz i even emailed one of my profs before the midterm to warn her I was going to fail, then I ended up with one of the better marks of the class...which is esp funny cuz i didn't study nearly as much as all the keeners in that class!
I still have one mark coming back, so hopefully it's not a fail,and breaks my good streak so far.
The rest of this month should be easy sailing. I only have a couple minor assignments, and one big paper/presentation on schizophrenia, but that's very interesting, and i'm good at public speaking, so not so much anxiety involved there.
Of course i'm not thinking about final exams right now...oh no....lol.
I'm starting my new job in May, which i am really not looking forward to. But my brother will kill me if i back out now, cuz i took the job as a favor to him. It's a wireless consultant/sales job, but what do i know about retail?? I'm hoping my extensive customer service experience will help me out here. My ex also works there, so that'll make things even more troublesome at this job. Ah well, I'm certainly not expected to stay there forever.
Pretty much my future course depends on what my graduating marks are like, and where this next year out of school takes me. I have a feeling there will be plenty of wake up calls.
And I could really end up going anywhere, the people in this city are especially starting to wear on me.
I've been doing more artwork lately, it's reminding me how much i like it, and how therapeutic it really is :).
