Life is a great journey so make the most out of it

Life in general

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:57:50 GMT

I just had the sudden urge to post in here for some odd reason. Summer quarter created lots of good and bad memories. Taking Psychology as a minor was a big decision since I knew with the three classes I had left my grades would suffer just a bit since taking test isn't my learning style. It is the opposite of the Human Services program which entitles presentations, discussions, and essays which a lot of people hate but I love. I learn so much more by doing this since I swear I have a learning disorder when it comes to studying and taking test.

My good grade in Diversity cancelled out the okay (low by my standards) one in Social Psychology. I have two more of those classes but things shouldn't be so bad since its not a crash course like the summer.

This year is going to be hard. Fall quarter is 17 which includes an internship. Winter quarter 16 credits which also includes an internship. After that spring quarter should be a breeze with 8 credits then Woo Hoo I get my B.A. The thing is I am not sure what I want to do next year. Peace Corps or going on to get my Masters at this same school in Rehibilitation Counseling. I am still exploring my options. I think that about covers everything. I just wanted to get everything written down since it sounds more final. I am to lazy to cut this.

Yikes! I was going to add how my social life rocks but I ran out of muse to do so.

It's been to long

*waves to everyone in livejournal land*

I was missing everyone that I used to talk to under my old MSN and on here. I don't even know if anyone reads this anymore but wanted to post this anyways. Life is busy with school and this is the end of a one week break between quarters. These days I can be found mostly on facebook and the MSN I just added to this profile. (Been using it since err I think January) I best be sleeping now. I may contact a few people by email like Kashy since I am wondering how ya'll are doing.

Take your shoes off

I officially migrated to facebook after many many promptings. Will still keep this somewhat alive. Spring break FTW. Netspeak sucks. Been on here for the last few weeks chatting with tons of people all over the net. May this old trend still continue even once school starts.

*Snugs*

I was inspired

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:09:32 GMT

I decided to do a little update even though I was going to wait until spring break which is Friday. Good news is that I got an intership at Head Start for next quarter. Bad news is I don't get paid for it but this is a class for school. Down to 12 credits the next and last four quarters until graduation. I will write more hopefully this weekend after this 16 quarters of heck are over with.

A little over an hour ago

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 06:20:24 GMT

Shanian and Katana became Alumini at approx 9:15pm PST January 26, 2008. May I get a real life now away from VH and school. Actually this isn't going to happen and will continue at this site under another student and a non student but can't say who either one is due to not wanting people that do read this off that site finding out. *I don't think they even know about this journal but who knows*

Other life events will be spoken about later. I just worked a 13 hour shift and can't comprehend typing at the moment.

Happy New Year

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 22:00:51 GMT

Wishing everyone a happy new year. Better late the never eh? I don't really believe in resolutions so will make these just random thoughts that are free to be broken whenever I get the chance to.

Five things I accomplished this past year...

1. Finally started going to Western Washington University
2. Got into a major I really love and enjoy
3. Got a job I actually like
4. Visited more with family during every school vacation which ended up being really enjoyable
5. Read more books including school ones (Reading is <3)
6. So I said five but I have to put I watched a ton of anime and read manga

Things to attempt to accomplish this year...

1. Go to church more often and stay the whole time
2. Continue to do well in the Human Services program
3. Go out in the sun more often (haha)
4. Get a better attitude about life (This is actually a hard one for some odd reason)
5. Continue to enjoy my job and have wonderful experiences from it

So those are five things that can be accomplished easily right? Although number 4 will sadly be the most difficult one. I feel if number 1 is accomplished the rest will fall into place. School starts in approx 24 hours so wish me luck since this is the 16 credit quarter. After this the rest should be a breeze.

Christmas

I am not really in the mood to go into to much detail about my vacation but may do that sometime next week. Spending time with my family was a wonderful experience and it was nice to relax for a week. Seems like my stress level is to high around here for some odd reason. A week in a half until my 16 credit quarter and somewhat looking forward to it. After that the next four quarters are just 12 credits each. Those are my thoughts for now and more to come later. Perhaps I will do a little this is how my year has gone and this is how I hope next year will go sorta thing. Doesn't help that the year for big changes won't be until 2009 or so thats what I am hoping.

YAY!

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 05:36:10 GMT

I survived my first quarter of the Human Services program. Now onto working more and then 8 days at my parents. This should be a relaxing time. That is all I have to say for now. *Bounces*

The End of the Quarter

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 18:25:50 GMT

I had a wonderful four days with my family over thanksgiving. Hopefully after the quarter ends the tenth I can write more about this. For now most of my time is spent on projects and essays. Most likely the month of winter vacation will be spent working more and 8 or 9 days at my parents. More to come soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 06:20:46 GMT

I am leaving in the morning and won't be back until Saturday night. Going to Olympia to see a ton of family members from my fathers side for Thanksgiving. Hopefully everyone has a great holiday and don't eat to much.

Gah why am I so tired? I feel as though I have been dreaming all day for some odd reason. We took second in the quidditch cup for my last year. Oh well to tired to care at the moment since I slept early evening, then from 4am to 10am. I may be feeling this because I got to much sleep or two little I can't tell. Working all night tonight and got more VH then schoolwork done here at the library. I have most of next week to work on these papers and got 2 out of 5 pages done for the first large paper. Better go think about dinner at McDonalds then go home for a few hours to rest before work.

ZOMG Two entries in one week

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 19:52:35 GMT

Thoughts today are on my craving for pizza and having yet another paper to turn in this afternoon. This and knowing my writing sucks arse and hope this paper doesn't bring my grade down even further. University life is so much harder the community college and trying to face the fact that my grades might not be A's and B's anymore. If only this quarter would get over and then a month of work and a visit to my family only without worries. I can't wait to see my youngest brother whom I haven't seen in two years. This christmas going home should be exciting since not only he will be home but hopefully my nephew will be born that week as well. I think I am done with my random thoughts for now but most likely more to come in the near future.

Why in the heck did I feel inspired to write after midnight in here? My thoughts right now are actually mostly on VH. Why you may ask? *even though nobody reads this thing anymore* This week is my last week of quidditch with Shan. It is so boring being keeper, and avoiding conversation with anime and schoolwork. Usually I seem to be the life of the party in big chats and have been keeping to myself or joking with Lel the last four days and whomever else pokes me on aim. Tis my way of saying goodbye and distancing myself from the team I have gotten to know over the last three real life years and 7 VH years.

This has been a wonderful team and I will miss them dearly. I won't go into my goodbyes since did that on the Ravenclaw Site already and my personal journal like this on only a few of the oldies know about. I am just grateful Owen pushed hard to let me play the last two games since technically I quit last VH year and am not on the team. Seven VH years of the drama of quidditch and actually survived and won the quidditch cups in my third and fifth years. Maybe this year to but I won't know until Friday. It is going to be close although things aren't in our favor at the moment.

Umm what else to say from this rant to myself? I may write more later since it struck me a few days ago about all the things on VH that have gone on and that coming new years eve I will be an alumini. For now I better go figure out how to cut this since I forget how and then go sleep.

Alive and well just busy with school lately. I may do a proper update soon. *Snugs*

Why did I have to quit my second job so early? You think relaxing time before school starting next week would be wonderful but frankly it is driving me nuts having so much freetime. One week until school starts with classes being three days a week in the late afternoon/early evening hours. Most likely taking some religion classes those days as well since guess that part of my life should be more focused upon.

It has come down to the fact that finally after three years of VH I am tired of this site. Most of my wasting away time is on anime which is the only thing that keeps me laughing these days. My nerdy self even puts off answering things for a few days instead of answering it right away like I used to. So I may just quit altogether and focus on school once January comes around and my girls are graduated. Besides, I should just grow up and focus on real life since this site isn't getting me anywhere and frankly I don't matter much on their in more ways then one.

Now how to focus on real life? I am slowly getting less active then I used to on there by prefering anime to VH. To bad my computer hates WOW but thats a sign I shouldn't be on there. Staying busy with school, religion, and a few work shifts here and there is a start. Think I am going to end this rant to myself.

*Hugs herself since she needs it*

Last lonely night

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 01:56:39 GMT

Tis nice having the house to myself one last night but have a feeling that my Grandmother just might get home while I am at work tomorrow night. Then Wednesday morning I am out of here for a week camping with family at the Oregon Coast yipee! Life is so dull these days with just work and no school but thats nothing new. I need a change since a little sick of life being at a standstill forever. Guess thats my fault. More ranting to come later.

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 06:58:10 GMT

Three more days of a quiet house and then my grandmother and cute puppy return. Nine more days until I go out of town on a lovely vacation camping at the Oregon Coast with my family. That's all I gotta say for the moment so peace out............

Amazing

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 01:08:23 GMT

I start writing in again and people reappeared out of nowhere. Would say more but occupied at the moment and work later on tonight. Aren't night shifts grand? Actually I like them just that it requires loss of sleep. *Shrugs*

Can't believe I am dreaming again about random people from my past that want to forget. *Sighs* On a good note, two weeks from today I go out of town yipee! This and it still feels strange to have a crush on someone in real life again for the first time in ages. Hopefully something will come out of that but if not at least getting to know him at work is enjoyable. My thoughts just left so more later or another day.

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 04:38:33 GMT

Every time I think I may have a few days off somehow end up working all of them. That is what happened today when I thought I had three days off starting today but ended up saying yes I will come in and work today and the next two. Man I am totally crazy. On a good note the last few days been talking to people on here I haven't spoken to in forever. The old Ravie team plus a few random people. Boy I miss those days and reliving them.

The calm before the vacation

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 01:08:07 GMT

It is looking like I am not working as often in the job I dislike which is probably a good thing. This means some downtime this coming week. The job I do like which is working at an assisted living place is the one that is being kept when school starts in September. Maybe I could work more days although my set sceduale now is working out where I won't have to change it at all when school starts. Hopefully this is making sense worked all night and tried to only take a long nap so I could sleep tonight. Must talk about certian other things when Shanickle is more awake.

Since I am lazy and to tired from work going to put several post off of VH offtopic in here. I really should catch up with people on here but to busy the last month. *sighs*

So many thoughts to add but can't quite put everything in words just yet so here are just a few off the top of my head.

- Neville was so awesome in this book and love him to death. Loved the part where he killed the Snake. Also he made his grandma proud by becoming a leader and living up to his families reputation and became a person just as great as his parents once were.

- Luna never ceases to amazes me and is a great character.

- Dumbledore there is a lot to say about him but still trying to process all that was learned about him. The more I read, the more shocking it was to learn about his past even though always knew there was a lot more then to him. The part about his family and the whole story behind it was amazing and well thought out.

- As for Snape, I always knew he had some good in him and glad he cleared up everything for Harry by giving him his memories of Lily. Love the fact that both him and Lily were childhood friends and kept that friendship throughout most of their years at Hogwarts.

- If only Ginny had more part in this since she is one of my favorite characters.

- The epilogue I felt wasn't neccessary since it does sound like a fan fic and the ending a bit to happy for my liking.

- Wish those kids would have had better names chosen for them.

- Love the part at Kings Cross where Harry and Dumbledore chatted.

More to say but will come up with it later.

Argh not all my post are showing up yet. This was just the opinion in the main discussion thread. As for the movie it was okay and may do a synopsis since trying to keep this journal more updated mainly for myself. So much to say about real life these days and some of it is actually good but will speak on that another time.

Life is a great journey so make the most out of it
