Ugh Future
So now that I KNOW I'm not graduating...it's time to figure out that elusive future. Or, well, I guess I was supposed to be doing that anyway. Now I have more time though to weigh my options. Or really...my fall back plan. I'm going to apply for JET. Why? Just freakin' because. I highly doubt grad school will happen at this point and I just want to get my ass to Japan. Becky, I was looking at the Research student scholarship on the consulate's website...buuuut I'm not real sure about that. It looks to me like you're supposed to be a graduate student or you'll become one once you're in japan. Yes? But sensei was like "no grad school in japan...tis dumb?" I am soooo lost.
Anyway, next semester I'll work out my budget situation and somehow try to hold onto my japanese. Maybe sit in on the 305 class. Wait, was there a 306? or does it just jump to the lit class? *woe betide*
Actually, not really. If I can manage it, I'll take another work-out course alongside my measly creative inquiry and just do the job thing. Or the...sitting back and resting on my loan money thing...whichever. I'll have more time to cook. AND perhaps I'll be able to find an apartment to myself. Be on the lookout folks. I don't care how shit it is as long as it has the things I need, i can bring my cat, and I don't have to share a living space with ANYONE. I do love Sarah B...but I feel like I live in a room instead of half of a house. I love her dog, but my cat is too afraid of it to come out of the room too far (which means he does really annoying things that keep me up at night when he's feeling cramped). I have no problem with the lizards, except that they require a sunlamp to be on all day and run up the power bill. At first I thought a hedgehog could cause no problems, but omg the smell of his little plastic cage/bin/thing. It's worse than shit...it's hedgehog shit. Also, I wouldn't have the stress of having to be someone's roommate. I try hard not to be that bitch people complain about, the inconsiderate one or the lazy one but the truth is...I am lazy and I just want to get around to the dishes or the garbage when I get around to it. I clean up after myself as best I can and most of the dishes in the dishwasher are ones that I put in there, or ran, but I'm slow to put them away. Everyone else washes the dishes in the sink...which maybe they think saves water, but actually it uses twice as much. I have NEVER rolled the garbage to the curb, or emptied it from the kitchen to the green one outside even, but I WOULD if they didn't get to it first. I don't dry my hair if it gets too late out of consideration of the guy whose room is against mine and I sweep the kitchen when I think it's got too much of Patches' fur on the floor. I'd like to be able to put my laundry in the wash whenever it's most convenient for me. Once Sarah B left her laundry in the wash all day and I finally moved it over for her, but when it came out of the dryer I had shrunk one of her vests. So what was GOING to be a nice gesture (well, in a sense) turned out to be ruining her clothes. So now if her clothes get in my way I've been instructed to put them on the counter until she can sift through them.
*sigh* and paragraph break
Not saying there wasn't the occasional issue with my old roommates...but I knew I should have gotten a place of my own and now I'm regretting it. Since I WILL be here next semester, this means I have to tell them I'm going to look for a subleaser and a new place. awkward. well, enough rambles. I should probably prep a little for yanming's class because i'm not sure i read all of what i was supposed to.
Becky, don't graduate and move too far away ya hear!?! At leeeast driving distance!
