It's been awhile.
Well it's been more than just awhile. It seems as if it's almost been a whole entire year since I've posted last. I suppose I've not the felt the need to say anything as not much has changed. I'm starting to feel like I am being put into a lull of everyday life without adventure.
I still work at Costco, though now I am crossed trained in the photo lab. It gets me away from the front end and it's hate every once in awhile. I don't like the way the front end makes me feel or the way it makes me react. It's quite full of hate and lack of desire and want to be good at what you do. It's not hard to do your job and do your job good. I don't care if you don't like what your doing, but you were hired to do a job and they are paying you to be there and do it right. You can complain and moan about how much it sucks, but please for the love of god just do your job. I wonder where the work ethic of my generation is. Did we ever have one? We hire people, then fire people, then hire more. In the end only about 5-8 people really stay past a year or two.
I know personally I find my job unsatisfying but I still do the best damn job I can do. It's my job and I do what has to be done.
Since last August, I've been back to Japan twice. Once in September with Zach to Hokkaido for 10days and I tell you....it was super amazing. Then again it always is. :) I then returned in April for my birthday and sakura season! I got a super cheap ticket too, only $820 roundtrip. From Alaska!! It was like a uber duber deal. In April though, I visited a university in Tokyo that I am interested in attending. I thought it would be possible to attend this fall but alas this wasn't to be. Things with UAA had fallen through with classes from two years ago. It had seemed that my withdrawal paperwork never did fully go through and I have currently 3 F's that need to be made up. I will be making up 2 of those F's this fall though. I'm actually quite excited to be taking classes again! I think the two year break was a good one and that it will help me put things into perspective.
I have many friends that graduated this year and it's not that I'm jealous of their future and opportunities, rather it has inspired me to finish this. I started college and I need to finish it. It's a goal that that has got to become fulfilled! I now have the opportunity to go to college in Tokyo next fall and it is pushing me foward. Though to make a responsible choice of staying here with UAA and getting free tuition till I am 24 or to jet set to Tokyo next fall and pull out more loans than I could imagine. It is quite a hard desicion to make!
I am moving in the next couple weeks finally. Leaving my grandmothers house to greener pastures. The only thing left is to get my license still. I am just so slow at getting it. I think it's a little daunting for me, but it also feels like really no one wants to help me learn the proper way. I'm pretty much thinking of going to take a driver's class that will give you your license at the end. Buuut that costs a couple hundred.
As of recent I have been having some wrist pains. Like shooting pain that makes you want to cry. I went to see a doctor this past Saturday and his first reaction to the x-rays that were taken were not good. He believed that it may be Avascular Necrosis. Which pretty much would be that the bones in my wrist aren't getting enough blood and thus dying. I asked if it would cause this much pain and he said "Oh yes." I then went in for an MRI on Wednesday and that was interesting. I had an MRI done as a young child but I couldn't remember much. Though it's a loud noisy vibrating cold machine. Overall uncomfortable! Results aren't instant so I've got to wait till the doctors appointment on the 4th to find out if the doctors initial reaction was right. If it's not, then it's blood tests and whatever from there. Woopdeedoo.
It seems the fall is just full of change this year. I heard somewhere that 2010 was supposed to be a year of change too and even though it is half way through the year, my change seems to be coming in full force. Whether it be the for the good or the bad, change will help me learn and grow.
Well I think I'll stop for now. I've got the feeling of being done. I can't promise I'll be back in a timely manner to write more, but hey, I may get back in the habit of it. :P
