Week 1 of 2011
I don't know what to think about this week. I'll start from the very beginning.
Had a lame New Year's, and I didn't do jack shit on the first or the second. Oh, I reunited with Adam, sort of, we got Thai food on the second, I think it was. And I checked out that gym on the Ave that I'd been thinking about joining and I'm still not sure I'm gonna do it, but I got a free pass so I'll probs give it a try. Anyway Adam is the same as always, and it's kinda nice to have him as a friend again. I just hope none of the retardedness starts up again. After that I went to Buffalo Exchange and found an awesome shirt and some pants, then I went with Megan and Kaito to Trader Joe's.
On Monday I woke up at 9am, intent on starting my job hunt. I didn't find anything, which was a little disheartening. I got a few good leads though, however they require a resume, which I need to get crackin' on. I signed up to be a volunteer interpreter/translator for the Red Cross, which sounds like an excellent opportunity to gain some skills. However, two of my references (Shaly and Megan) haven't responded to their e-mails, which is kinda irritating. Tay Tay got on that shit right away! And Shaly said she didn't get one for whatever reason. But Megan did...part of me wants to tell her to fill it out, but I know she's busy. Once two of my references respond, Red Cross will give me an interview. So I really need her to do it!! >< Then I worked from 4-10:20 at Suzzallo.
Tuesday I got up at 9 again, I think, and continued looking for jobs and all that until 12. Or...maybe I just farted around, either one. Then I worked from 12-5, and probably looked for more jobs when I got home. Then I downloaded the Sims and started playing the shit out of it...Oh, I also checked out a book on becoming a translator from Suzzallo and I read one chapter of that...lol
Wednesday I played more Sims...didn't really do shit with my time. I pretty much wasted that day...except I did a bunch of laundry and went to Kaiwa Table at 5, which was fucking lame, like it's been these days because of all the fucking retarded douchebags that have started coming. I swear to god...I liked it SO much better when I was pretty much the only American amongst the Japanese people...these people are so lame. It's fucking irritating. So going to Kaiwa Table is starting to become retarded and pointless. I met a few new people though...but really, Kaiwa Table is becoming ultra-lame in my eyes. We managed to round up Sho, Kaito and David and we went to Maekawa in the International District, and it was fucking delicious, like always. I gotta say, Sho is a really awesome guy, I'd love to hang with him more. Then we went to Uwajimaya and I bought a shit-ton of groceries, which I definitely needed. Also got an Orca Card, which I need now that I don't have a U-Pass anymore.
Thursday I did nothing most of the day, played the Sims. I probably spent a little time looking for a job, but not that much. Then I set out for the library to go pay off my fines and get some Japanese study materials. But I came to realize...the public library (at least Central) doesn't have shit for books compared to Suzzallo...which really sucks. I'm not really digging this whole not being a student anymore deal. I mean, having all this free time is great, but I also feel like I'm not doing anything constructive, and I also feel like I could get fired any day. Which leads me to Friday...
On Friday I woke up around 11 and took my time getting ready for work because I thought I was working from 2-10:30. But then I suddenly realized there was something wrong with that so I checked my schedule and realized I was working from 10-6:30 that day...and it was already 12:30. So I showed up for work 2 hours and 45 minutes late...which is terrible, considering that is my one and only job, and if I get fired from it, I'm pretty much screwed financially. Fortunately Mark wasn't there to give me a hard time, but I'm really worried about what he's going to say or do tomorrow...if he says or does anything about it at all. Also at the end of the day, I realized there was a new notice on the bulletin board, saying that they found several mistakes and that they want us all to be more careful when checking in...which also makes me worried because it was put up on Wednesday. When I was at work on Tuesday, I remember chatting with Malia and Jenessa quite a bit, and even noticing that I was starting to make mistakes...so I REALLY hope it wasn't me that made those mistakes, and that if I did, I did it in a way that won't get me caught. But seriously, that's a double-whammy right there, shitload of mistakes, and almost 3 hours late for work the next day. So I need to be on my best behavior tomorrow and fucking PRAY that I don't get talked to, or worse, fired. Omgomgomgomgomg.
I played Final Fantasy 6 a great deal today and yesterday and the day before and I finally beat it today...then I started playing Chrono Trigger. I started tracking my calorie intake too, just for fun. I'm hoping to lose that weight...that'd be great. I also visited the IMA. I had to pay $7.67 and have a UW student sponsor me just to get in though. So looks like I'll be trying out the gym on the Ave here pretty soon. I work from 2 to 10:30 tomorrow...let's hope nothing goes wrong.
In conclusion: I started out this week with the best of intentions and ended up playing a shitload of videogames and then fucking up at work.
Goals for next week are:
-be the best worker you can be, for about a week.
-keep track of all calories and lose some weight.
-instead of playing video games, study Japanese.
-check out Uloop and huskyjobs.com for job postings and keep checking craigslist.
-check out some books about writing a resume and send some out to Japanese teaching jobs.
-wake up at 9 every day. (except weekends)
-get control of finances.
