Anyway, since I'm no diary keeper or blogger as you can all see...in a stroke of inspiration, I've decided to keep this as a memento of my Teenage years. The woe, the good, the whatever...we'll see how long this lasts XD I still don't know how to use LJ well, blah. Myspace is so much easier T_T I don't plan on adding many people to my LJ...we'll see how it goes. I just want it to be a diary of sorts, with some people reading it.
Well, on to talking about my life this week. After the anime convention (in which I dressed up as Haruhi ^-^), everything seems to have gotten rather boring. I started "work" but I feel like quiting it. It feels more like summer school, or something of that sort..except that you get payed 7.15 an hour for showing up. I am not racist or anything, but I feel very uncomfortable when I'm near Black people. It's simply that I am very different from them, I find them nice and interesting...I just don't want anything to do with the majority of them. However, most people at "summer school" are black. There is a Hispanic kid "working" alongside me, but he actually looks Hispanic. I'm pasty white with jet black hair, a sort of Asian looking contrast. People often mix me up with different ethnicities than Hispanic.
Well, the first day was awkward to say the least. I woke up early, which I have to do 4 days a week now to get there on time (have to be there at 8)and was explained everything and blah blah blah...I mostly just sat during the whole day. We were supposed to take care of kids, however, am not good with children. I am a child myself, but with people younger than me I do not mingle...heck I barley mingle with people my own age sometimes. My first day was actually supposed to be Monday, but I went on Tuesday becuase I had to get a "report to work card" at this place where I they drafted me. I had no idea where I was supposed to work without that card (the program places you somewhere where that suites your interests in my city) and I thought I was supposed to get it by mail...but guess what? Since we do shit backwards in this crappy city...well, you get the picture.
On Wednesday, I sat with everyone working with paperwork. Thank God it wasn't children...I might have been told to work at the "Lighthouse", which is branch of the company I work in, and it is a shelter for the homeless. Really did not want to go there...no one did actually, so I'm sure our employers got the picture. Well, that day I didn't really talk...but I was asked many questions. This girl who always talks a lot and makes jokes, she's real nice and says hi to me every morning, told me that this kind called "Lyons" or something...(dunno...don't care) thought I looked like the girl from "The Grudge". She told me that he said that I looked like I wanted to kill people...it was hilarious really. But of course, it got to me a bit. Now I really don't want to talk to these people much...so I try to keep my words to a minimum, just let them think what they want to. That day I mostly worked away from my "peers" in the office of this lady. So yeah, dunno what went on after that.
That day I felt very tired since I went to the midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with my friend, Veronica. We both agreed the movie was horrible, it was too fast and fulled of plot holes, inconsistencies with the book, and what not. The people at the movie theaters didn't even collect the bloody tickets we bought by computer in advance, we could've gone in free and seen it free. Should have, since it was below my expectations.
Today, I just worked with paper work again...this time with the people that are in the same program as me. It was truly boring. We don't do anything from 8-10. For what reason? Dunno, but at least I get payed for doing nothing. I purposelessly went at 8:40 becuase I knew that was gonna happen. Then we usually get some work at 10-1 but a lot of us leave at 11:30, today I stayed until 12. My hours are 8-1. So, I've been getting payed for many hours this week that I have not done (plus, they are paying me for Monday even though I didn't go).
Eh, I've got Friday off (it's 11:59, so in a minute Friday will be today). That's awesome becuase I'd rather not go.
On another note, I'm getting very involved with this program called AFS. I want to travel to Japan and I think I will in my senior year of HS. My mom said she will pay the 10,000 bloody dollars she sweated for to save up to buy a house with to send me to Japan. The way things are going, I think I'll be the one buying that house for her once she retires and I can work. I am not sure if there are cheaper programs around, there is Rotary. But their website is so confusing that I feel too lazy to look around it. I want to host someone first from Japan, to get to know their culture better. Anime and manga don't teach you everything XD
Plus, I want to wait a year to go becuase this junior year I will be having classes I worked hard to get into. I hate my school badly, but I worked hard to get into AP English. That class will look like a gem in my college application. I then also have time to brush up on my Japanese, I've been looking at classes for a couple of months already. My friend Marta also plans to use AFS, but to go to Italy. Anyway, need to call this woman from AFS who called me called "Shannon". Hopefully she will answer my questions.
