(no subject)
This entry is gonna be sooo loooong. I'm hitting myself on the head, writing this entry when I'm so sleepy.
So I keep complaining about 2009 yadda yadda. While it ended up not being much better than 2008 for me (maybe worse, in fact, considering 2008 was only bad at the end), 2010 seems to have started off well! I've made it back to school, of course, that's the best part. I've still had a string of bad luck in the last weeks, but with I always had some good luck to make up for it.
Other issues arose, but I'm getting too tired to list them all.
I just wanna say though, that even with all the bad things I've gone through in the last year, there is one thing that kept me going all along, and that's the incredible friends I have. They've been encouraging me to go back to school, congratulating me on every good step I took, and helped me on numerous occasions. On my first day of school, everybody asked me how my day went and if I'm integrating well in my new school. On my first day of work, whether at Gap or the new company, everybody asked me how I liked it, as well. I just feel really lucky to have such friends that always care enough to just ask me those little questions, it really makes me warm in my heart.
That said, who's ready for spriiiiiiiiiiing? The mercury just dropped really badly over here (-30C, meh) and I want to wear light spring layers and muted colours already. I want pinks and beiges (!!!) and greys and silk and lace and light jersey and ahhhh.

Mango dress I'm gonna buy myself when I have the monies.
By the way, anyone seen the Zipia redesign? It looks more like Dahong now! They brought back the lookbooks (I used to love that feature), where you could browse based on coordinates. They also have that new Monomori collection that I like quite a bit.
Also, I redesigned my LiveJournal layout a bit. Not used to it at all.

- Gap (which is where I've been working since December) has barely been giving me any hours in the last few weeks. I could work 8 hours one week, and none the next. I got my schedule for this week and the next. Total hours: zero. What if I had rent to pay?!
HOWEVER.
Desperate for a new job (again, yes), I scoured online job offers. I found an interesting listing on Craigslist (and OMG I would never trust Craigslist job offers but this one seemed legit) for an interesting non-sales telemarketing position in a business solutions company. And DUN DUN DUN DUN! I got the jooooooooob! :DD Today was my first day and while I haven't made any calls, it seems super easy, and the department I'm working with is super chill. And I'm getting paid quite a lot for the job asked... I'm quite excited about this! I'm quitting Gap soon... The discount was good, but to buy clothes one needs money so yeah. :P - The government took a whole lot of time to study my student loan file and told me four weeks later and one week before the school fee payment due date that my request was incomplete! And I sent in all the papers, too! So I don't know what happened, but my BFF basically helps me paying my fees meanwhile (I love you bb ;_;), I send the documents they were asking for again, and the same day, I come home to an e-mail telling me that my loan is being deposited into my account.
...
YAH OKAY. - I tried to access my bank account via online services the other night and found out my access was blocked. I call customer service (Friday at 3 p.m.) and they tell me that there had been a fraud attempt and they had blocked my bank account for security measures. Now they want me to go to a branch to replace my card and be able to access my account again, EXCEPT IT'S THE WEEK-END AND THE BANKS ARE ALREADY CLOSED. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
That said, I have plenty of money coming in soon so I'll be able to pay my debts and stuff. ♥
