Hello internets of today. July 21, 2009

Well, it’s July 21st…I still need to start my art portfolio. But I’m working on it, so it’s all good. I’ve picked a couple of colleges (at last), all art and whatnot. My main goal is to create numerous pieces, around 16-20! Going to start thinking about and designing them soon SNEEZE has finally gotten back to me about having me use her kiln after weeks and weeks of asking. so that’s pretty good…Oh! It’s been like, a couple of weeks into my new job and despite the not so definite $$$, it’s amazing. The gig is only from 9 AM to 1 PM and we don’t have to do much. The lady who called me (aka my coworker) Gabi, is pretty freaking amazing. She’s so nice..and she gave my sister and I a phone charm each that she got from Japan. Even though we’ve only known her for two weeks. I might end up working there next year, I don’t care that much about losing my old job anymore YAY. And so anyway..a few things happened that I shall list. again

1) YT gathering @ Central Park in NYC called 789. Due to the fact that the event started on July 8th, 2009 (07/08/09) and ended on the 11th. I went on the 8th for like, ten minutes and left, because I didn’t have anyone else with me…These events are pretty intimidating if you’re not loud and friends with everybody at the event, lmao. But I went back, dragging my sister with me on the 10th and 11th, which was fun. CURSE came on the 11th also.

2) My contact broke – I took a nap and woke up…but then I rubbed my eye, and apparently the contact flew out of my eye and on to the ground below (I was on a loft bed). I only know that it landed on the ground, because my mother found it later and saw that it cracked in half. I’ve been wearing my glasses ever since (it’s been almost three weeks).

3) Past Saturday, I went with my old middle school friend (Cathy) that I rarely spoke to until recently to a concert in Central Park (I know, I absolutely love the park now. Never appreciated it as much before as I do at the moment…) It was good to catch up fully in person, since I HAD seen her a week or two before, but the meeting was extremely brief We went to Rumsey Playfield (which is a kind of stage thing) and saw Little Dragon, Chester French, and Q-Tip. A DJ named Benji B was also there as a star, but no one really acknowledged him, haha poor guy. But I took numerous pictures and videos. ALSO, my camera’s shutter button broke at the time, so I need to get it fixed in time to take pictures of my work and send them in as my portfolio to the colleges. Oy.

4) Mmm, what else…I finished my Critical Reading classes in Brooklyn (yesterday), and today was my second class of College prep or something like that. I fell asleep in a class of about five other kids. It was kind of boring, despite the importance of all the info I needed to know. Um yeah, this wasn’t interesting. D;

5) Oh! I’m dragging my sister to go watch another concert in Central Park – this guy is from the UK and is known as Tom Milsom (aka hexachordal on YT). His stuff is pretty amazing, go check him outt. It’s sometime in August, so yay. In Strawberry Fields as well,

I think that is all that’s up with mee. I think I might choose a college in California, since I spent my entire life on the east coast. My biggest wish right now is that I finish all this college shit on time. And that summer lasts much much much longer than it’s supposed to. WHY IS IT FUCKING HALF OVER? D;

it’s it’s it’s….JOO-RAI! :) July 5, 2009

It’s finally July! I got my regents back, and I didn’t do so well on them, but oh well. I got a 59 on my Physics (yikes lol), a 77 on my Italian, and an 84 on my English. I’m rather please, haha I’ve decided to capitalize everything now…because I’m like that! I don’t know, argh. My mom signed me up for a reading class that is only five weeks long, and once a week, so it’s not that bad. It’s every Monday and since tomorrow’s Monday…well, I haven’t started doing my homework yet.

Also, I lost my job this summer, the one where I work as a camp counselor at a kids day camp every year. I didn’t go to either of the two required orientations, so my boss said I couldn’t work Luckily, I can work next summer, since I’ve worked at the camp before. Just not this time…which kind of sucks, since I need the money and I was JUST about to get $8 per hour. I work ten hours every day, and eventually the cash adds up. Don’t ask me why I didn’t go to orientation…too embarrassing, even though it totally wasn’t my fault (was my sister’s, I swear). But I think the thing that bothers me the most about not working at the camp this summer is that I promised my friend that I would work there this time, and she wasn’t going to. And I was going to be in her group…but she’s alone! She’s pretty pissed at me I feel really bad about her having to work with no point in really working (except for the $$$, but that’s beside the point). As for me, my boss (who’s a pretty chill guy) felt bad and he hooked my sister and I up at another place to set up some stuff. The lady in charge called me and wasn’t too specific…but whatever. At least it’ll be something I can do this summer – I have been so BORED. I will be starting that job tomorrow. The hours will be shorter, and I’m actually not even sure if I’m going to be paid. It might just be volunteer work, lol.

I also haven’t started working on my portfolio, which I know I totally need to. I’ve contacted SNEEZE about this, but she hasn’t started setting up the kiln yet. So I’ll talk to her about this…SOON, I hope. I realllyreallyreallyx342041 need to start this. Like OD Speaking of volunteer work, I’ve been busy hunting down lots of it. I hope I get through to some people about working for them, because that will look good on my resume also! And I think some is required for college. Oh, the things I have to do before I graduate. I wish I could just press forward and skip to a life of success, cash, and happiness. But of course that would be cheating. And it would find a way to bite me back in the ass. Because karma is no doubt obviously a bitch. I need a cupcake.

So I’m done updating this sad blog (but I still love writing it <3) and pouring out my emotions. I’ll find another way to deal with my stress. But in the meantime, this will have to do. I can’t believe it’s July…time is going way too fucking fast. I hope I don’t cry. BUT I’M NOT EMO, I SWEAR
