Hm.... so life.
I started Japanese class Tuesday :) I am pretty excited... Only one girl walked in wearing a Hello Kitty shirt, and less than half the class said they were taking it for anime, so I think we may learn more than how to say CRYSTAL TIARA!!!!
Our teacher is pretty nice, but he was assuming we would all enter knowing nothing at all, and most everyone is already around where we'll be halfway through the semester or more, so huzzah :P I'm just nervous about the whole once a week class thing. Either way, my dream is finally coming true from so many years back!
Also, I'm starting to look into getting real employment that actually fits my educational background and pays me what I'm worth (no offense usbank!, you're great) Currently I'm pursuing a position at A&F corporate which is basically a brand development/management position where I'd be responsible for a product from paper to sales rack. I think that would be most absolutely amazing, and I really hope this goes somewhere. The only problem is that the position is in Columbus, so I'd have to make some crazy changes to my life, but we'll just see what happens. The main reason I'm applying is that if nothing comes out of it, at least I've updated my resume.
But resume... blah. Mine is such trash, and I have little relevant experience. I'm trying to highlight my relevant school projects, so that at least makes me sound like I ought to be applying for this position.
It's not that I need the money, but I'm so ridiculously overqualified/underpaid for this position I'm in now. I appreciate it since it pays the bills and is ridiculously easy, but seriously. The A&F position would pay more than double what I'm making now, so if I somehow get accepted for it, I'm pretty sure I'd find a way to reconfigure my life to make it work.
In the worst case scenario, I'm trying to better myself, and that's what I need right now to get over how much I'm wasting my education. Huzzah!
