i heart Paradise Kiss alot.
it is one of the new series we're watching on Monday night this semester, it's about a bunch of kids who go to an art school for fashion design and have their own underground clothing company.
i like this banner a whole lot. she's probably my favorite character so far.
no, it's not because it's only the second episode and she's already fucking the punk on a pool table. i swear. ;)
as for real news, i started my new job today. looks like my new weekly schedule is going to be like this:
M = class 9-12, lunch/break 12-2, get ready/get to work 2-3, work 3-7:30ish, dinner/CUAnime 8-10:30ish, homework, sleep.
T = class 10:30-12, lunch 12-1, post office 1-4, class 4:30-7, dinner, homework, sleep.
W = class 9-12, lunch/break 12-1:30 or 3:30, lab 1:30-3:30 or 3:30-5:30, dinner/homework 3:30 or 5:30-8, CUAnime 8-10ish, homework, sleep.
Th = (most likely my practicum in the morning 7:30ish-10), class 10:30-12, lunch/break 12-2, get ready/get to work 2-3, work 3-7:30ish, dinner, homework, sleep.
F = class 9-12, lunch/break 12-2, get ready/get to work 2-3, work 3-7:30ish, dinner, hanging out, sleep.
Sa = (don't know what time i'm definitely going to be working, most likely noon-7:30)
Su = work 11-6:30
i'm going to be hella busy for this semester, but i should bring in about $225 a week working at the coffee shop. even if i spend $1000 this semester (which i did last one, although i was pretty frivolous) i will still have over $1250 going into the summer, enough to put a deposit and a month's rent into an apartment for summer. i think my ideal plan would be to keep similar hours at the shop for the summer and teach at the HAP summer program, which pays $1600 flat for the summer. figuring that my apartment won't cost over $500 a month (hoping that i can split it with someone/people) that's about 7 months' rent. then all i need is money for bills and spending (food!) over the summer and one semester and i will be golden! i will hopefully be able to find cheaper living arrangements, too. with that in mind, i will be completely financially independant within four months, barring insurance (car and health) and my cellphone (which, mind you, i wouldn't have if i had to pay for it myself. i hate that damn thing, but my mother seems to think that if she didn't provide a phone for me i'd just get my own land line and not give her the number. which i probably would.)
okay, i think my financial dribble is done.
i lose time when i make icons, and after making the new one (Paradise Kiss, ^<) it's late and i should go to bed. still have to finish some reading for class tomorrow night.
