RAAAGE  
Ahhhhhh. I didn't get off work today until 9. I usually get off at 7:30 but the new people that were hired do not have any kind of common sense what so ever. The manager tell everyone immediately after the store closes to pick up everything off the floor and put back the clothes on the racks that are in the fitting room. They usually don't care about whether or not everything is organized or not since everyone wants to go home early. Sound simple right? Well today most the people working there were all new (except for 3 of us and the manager). Well some of the new people are kind of lazy (especially this one girl who kept going to the bathroom every hour. She's in charge of the home department and we usually have to help her clean up because she spends the whole day just walking around. Seriously, I know the job only pays $7 an hour but suck it up and do your goddamn job). At around 7:15 I finally finished cleaning up the fitting room. So what do I find? 6 racks full of clothes still on the sales floor. Now these racks are not small, in fact it takes around 10 minutes to go around the store with one rack and put back the clothes. What are the new people doing? They are sizing. Ahhhh. I was pissed. Sizing is the nitpicky stuff of making sure the clothes is on the right hanger and stuff. We usually only size on the slow days when there's nothing to do so the store looks nice. I wanted to scream because everything was still on the floor and these people are going through each individual piece of clothing, checking the tag, removing something that's in the wrong department and going to the right department to put it away. I told one girls that she should focus on picking up the clothes that are the floor but she said she'll get around to it later. I try really hard to not get an attitude with her and just go about doing my job. I put back 3 racks of clothes until the manager finally decides to get out of her office to see why we are taking so long. So ya we stayed until 9 because people wasted over an hour. I was at that stupid store today from 11am to 9pm. FUCK. I can't wait until May when my classes finish so I can finally quit. This time I'll apply for a job through an agency of something.

I didn't even get time to work on my homework today because when I got home at 9:30 I had to shower, eat dinner, and write this entry. xD Now it's time to sleep (and then wake up tomorrow at 8am to get ready for work ahhhh).

I complain way too much. The only reason I typed this up was because my mom was sleeping when I got home so I couldn't complain to her like I usually do. lol

Also sorry if this post makes no sense, I don't feel like proofreading it.

too sleepy to care about spellcheck  
This lady at work has been saying rude things about me. In the break room when I walked in she started more rude comments about me in Spanish and the guy next to is like "Hey she's right behind you" (in Spanish). So then she says "She doesn't understand what I'm saying!". When she said this I turn my head around and looked right her and said "Are you talking to me?" (in Spanish). After that she stayed quiet and didn't look at me when she was organizing the shoes (I was in the fitting room which is next to the shoes so I was basically standing next to her). But after that she acted like nothing happened when she brought a pair of shoes for me to hold for her. Why do people do this? I don't know her name, never had a conversation with her and don't work her (she's a stock room worker and I'm a floor associate so we have different shifts) so I have no idea what her problem was. Maybe she thinks I'm rude or something because I never talk? But I don't see why that should bother her.

I wanted to sleep in today  
School starts tomorrow OH BOY.

In better news I got to skip work today. I had put my change in availability form two weeks ago but the store manager didn't see it I guess so I didn't get scheduled for the days I wanted. I talked to her yesterday to fix that but since I was missing Thursday I was technically supposed to go in today even I wasn't scheduled for anything. So I called her this morning a half-hour before the store opened to see what time I should go in and she she didn't they wouldn't need any help today (she also said I called in too late, pfft whatever I wanted to eat breakfast first lol). Even though I completely broke I don't mind missing. Yesterday was the first day I went since the operation and I got tired so fast, I got too comfortable with being lazy at home. Also it's snowing so yay for not having to drive in that. Ah I need to stop getting so stressed over this job, it only pays $7/hr, I could easily find another job I think. :\

And sites stuff: I haven't forgot my domain completely! I'm working on revamps for all my sites simultaneously which why it's taking forever. I also still have a layout block. I don't know how everyone else works on their sites but for me I work on the layout first. For some reason once I have the layout up it's much easier for me to visualize how I want to organize everything and it doesn't make so long to write up the content.

SO TIRED  
Just got back from work today. My feet are about to fall off, seriously. I worked 9 hours both Saturday and Sunday. The store is a complete mess because of how many people who were there.


Enough of that then, I'm glad I have the next three days off.

I almost forgot today was Christmas Eve. ^^; I was in the kitchen this morning when it hit me "Oh today is Christmas, wait wtf happened to December?!". It feels like the year went by so fast. I looked under the tree and there's three presents for me yay! But what I'm looking forward most to is the food! I have to help my mom cook later today when she gets back from work. We're making tamales this year, after I bugged her for a few hours though. She hates making tamales because they take forever to make. The masa alone takes two hours because you have to be constantly stirring it (that's my job, I hope my arms don't fall off). But we are not making those plain Mexican tamales that are dry and spicy. We always make the Guatemalan tamales with red sauce and pork wrapped in the banana leaves. I purposely skipped breakfast today so I'll be really hungry when they're finished. ^^;

"Don't say things that confuse me"  
New lj color scheme because I'm too lazy to make an actual layout. It's blue to match my new default icon (well I didn't make it exactly) of Urataros from Kamen Rider Den-O. Funny story, I was supposed to be working on my project but instead I decided to watch Den-O 'cuz I heard there were some pretty boys in it (heh) but got hooked and ended up watching 10 episodes in one sitting...But I don't mind because I fucking love this show now. D: Uratarous isn't my favorite of the Imagin (Momo is~) but he's amusing anyways.

Crappy day at work. The store manager is back from maternity leave and she is really strict. She caught me sitting down (there wasn't anyone in the fitting room and the kids department was clean already so what was I supposed to do?) and got mad and was like "What are you doing?!". When I got back from my lunch break there was lovely cart full of clothes to be sorted and a note taped on the bench that said employees should not sit on it. -_-;; My feet really hurt now from having to stand all day. I need to find some good shoes to bring in. They don't allow tennis shoes and the 'work' shoes I bought (that look like the ones they showed me in a picture) and are not comfortable for standing or walking for long periods of time.

Tomorrow is my last exam. It's for math so I'm not worried because the class was easy. I'll have to wake up early though because the streets will probably bad because of the snow. And on Wednesday my last project is due for Core Comp. Final grades haven't been posted yet but I have a good feeling that I passed all my classes so that makes me happy. ^^

EDIT: Why does this BJD cost sooooo much???? D: I want to cry because I'll never be able to afford one.

The girl who was supposed to come in after me didn't show up--5 other people didn't show up either. I worked 10 hours today with only one break and a quick 10 minute break after the store closed to wolf down my lunch. I just got home a few minutes ago and I'm going to bed now . When I wake up tomorrow I have to get ready for a 7 hour shift. I also wish that the stupid local news would stop talking about that stupid world series game (Rockies will lose because they suck), there's more important things they can talk about.

And what it up with those snapshot links everywhere? It's annoying.

Late college post  
Holy crap there's a band called Huckleberry Finn, how awesome is that. They're Korean though so I don't understand a thing they say (and I don't even know what the name of the only song I have by them is...)

(don't really feel like putting this behind an lj-cut, it won't kill you to scroll past this on your friends page)

So I've been going to the University of Colorado at Denver for a good three weeks or so. It's not as bad as I imagined and I actually like the college atmosphere more than high school. As I expected there is a good amount of homework (though for me it's mostly notes, they aren't required but it helps me study).

Math For Liberal Arts
This class is pretty easy. It's mostly logic at this point and very much arithmetic. I was supposed to take College Algebra instead but math is my worst subject ever so I took the easier class. :P I got a 15/15 on the first quiz which makes me happy because I usually fail math tests.

Psychology I
Er...ya typical lecture class. We go to class and listen to a power point lecture while trying to madly scribble down notes since the teacher goes so fast and then leave (the professor lets us go when he finishes the lecture so we almost always leave early). I tried the first couple of time sto write down everything on the lecture but that's almost impossible so now I just try to write what the professor says that isn't on the power point and just copy the lecture from the .pdf he uploads to his website. We just had out first quiz last Wednesday over the first three chapters. I don't thing I did very well. It was multiple choice quiz and on almost half I wasn't too sure on my answer. Guess I should study more text time.

~*Lunch Time*~

So, I have this huge 4 hour break between classes. During this time I go lunch at the Tivoli where they have a food court with McDonalds, Subway, Taco Bell and some Japanese fast food place. I keep meaning to go to Subway so I can try to eat a little healthy but the line is always so LONG. So instead I end up going to the Japanese place and ordering a huge bowl of expensive teriyaki chicken. Seriously I spend $7 and I have yet to finish the entire thing because they pack so much rice in it. I tried to save the food I didn't eat once but I just made my backpack smell. I need to figure out a way to bring my own food because eating fast food twice a week is going to make me fat eventually.

So after lunch I go to library and do homework. The library is freakin huge. I used to like to find the most isolated couch at the furthest corner but then I found out that hobos like to hang out there so I just on the second floor where they have desks.

FYS: The Human Animal
This is one of those first year seminar things. It isn't related to my major or anything but the counselor encouraged everyone to take one of these classes. It's an anthropology class so we talk about monkeys and monkey sex. It's pretty interesting so far I guess. We already have a project due and I'm doing mine on Infantcide in Human Males. Sounds cruel but I wanted to pick a subject that wouldn't bore me...

Core Composition I

Oh god this class is awesome. The professor never shuts up and likes to bring in bobble heads from his collection. All we did last class was watch clips from Lone Ranger and Shane. The only work we've done is small quizzes over the reading he assigns from the book. The textbook is also pretty awesome compared to others (it's very casual and has lots of pretty pictures~). I've done horrible on the quizzes though because he likes to assign 40+ pages and I always end up skimming and not retaining most of the information. And yay there's no literature in this class! I think I've had a enough of that since that AP class...

-----------------------------------------------
Work still sucks. I'm so sick and tired of Ross. I don't even want to shop there even though I have discount card. I guess it's just certain people that shop there that get on my nerves...you know the kind of people that go in the fitting rooms with eight pieces of clothing and bring it back to you in a wrinkled pile instead of on the hangers...

I kind of miss my old job because it was just me at my station, I did not have to associate with the workers around me because I was always busy. I would have liked to stay there (the pay was much better) but they don't offer part time.

I feel like my toes are about to fall off, and the inside of the fingernail is bleeding. God I hate working. And I have to again tomorrow. Ugh. I thought I was going to work, you know, part time but I'm scheduled to work everyday except Monday and Wednesday next week (the days I go to school orz). At this rate I'm going to be too tired to work on any of my sites when I get hope and that makes me sad.

Today I went in 4PM so I missed the 2chan Gurren Lagann and Precure threads. D: The torrent is going so slooooow. I can't even watch the new episodes on nico because my account doesn't work anymore (lol maybe they found out I was a foreigner and deleted my account).

Happy Birthday to me  
w00t no more ~*job hunting*~ for me! I started working at Ross today (at 6:30AM, ouch). I'm only working part time now so it was nice that I didn't have to stay there too long. But GOOD LORD. I am so not used to standing up for such a long time. My feet hurt like hell like now and my right arm is sore. I guess I was a little too used to sitting down at the my last job. And another thing--SOCIAL INTERACTION. Yikes, at my last job I mostly kept to myself at my station unless I was acting like a smart ass to my boss, but this time because I was by the fitting rooms I was expected to greet people and stuff. Also the girl that was with and showing me how to organize everything wouldn't shut up. I feel so bad because she talked me the entire time and I didn't even learn what her name was. I'll have to do that next time I go, but now I need to sleep.

I should have saved more money  
I had no idea college books were expensive. I spent $250 on used books for only three of my classes (my English professor hadn't assigned a book yet for the class so I have go back in a week).  The psychology book alone was $90. Yikes, I can't believe I actually wanted to buy them new (I just like how new books look because I'm a perfectionist). All that's left now is to pay my tuition. As I mentioned before I got a scholarship for $1000 but when I look at the amount that's due that money hasn't been subtracted from the total. Am I supposed to receive the money or is it just taken out from the total amount due or what? I guess I have to the call the office again and bug them about that because I my dad doesn't want to pay $3000 yet if he knows that the scholarship money hasn't been used.

Yesterday my sister got fired from her new job after being there for only being there 2 days. Talk about total FAIL. I wanted to tell her from some smart ass comment but she was already mad and I was afraid she wouldn't give me my birthday present. Today she has another interview (wtf is up with that? She gets job interviews almost every other day and it was so hard for me to get just one job! The only reason I'm at the job I am at now is because my mom works there and begged her boss to hire me. I'M THE ONE WHO GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL IT SHOULD BE EASIER FOR ME TO FIND A JOB THAN HER). Anyway, I'm stuck watching her brats for an hour today because her man is going to work at the same time her interview starts.

Digimon Day was on August 1st! I wish I could've done something on that day like other people do but I was too lazy. But what totally wowed me was when I saw that someone made Digimon sims! Now I have the biggest urge to make some of my own and just dump on them all on a forest-ish lot and let them play. D:
