Finally home for good. No more going back to Stable connection again. Though, I need to start job searching here again after my failed attempts. @Onii-chan~ I am more the night person. I can't get up in the mornings, unless I don't bother going to sleep. Mainly do that before big trips though. I can't eat beansprouts. Unless there is something to block out its flavor... x__x And my parents never cook curry food, which I crave sometimes. All because my sister doesn't like curry. T___T @Adel~ lol Well.. I need to find out then. xD And plus, everyone should have some sort of inner beauty. :3   |

[@GM] See the thing is like, once I move into a dorm, I'm not sure if I can just move out. I have no idea if you're allowed to treat their dorms like apartments (with rent sort of for how long you stay) and just move out. My aunt wants me to do that, just move into a dorm for a while until we find a nice apartment, but like I don't really want to live by myself. I'd have to work and make enough money just for myself, where as living with some dorm buddies (three or less) you can support each other (cable internet, food, etc.). I'd rather pay 10$ a month for cable internet then live by myself and pay four times as much. Little things like that are into consideration y'know. I just think it's common in everyday society. You will most likely adapt into a certain area with people more similar to yourself. There's nothing wrong with wishing for it. XD I met this girl online that was pretty similar to me. If she didn't live like across the coast from me we could've gotten married!! T_T (XD) When my computer had to get fixed, it took three weeks for Best Buy to have us pick it up, I nearly died. The internet's become a part of me like breathing in air, I just need it in my schedule. The school does have it, but it's so lame. I was talking to my friend about this last night in fact. My high school, which was a public high school, had a T1 connection around the network. A fast network. At the school, they have like a basic DSL network that's "shared" among all the students, so you virtually get like dial-up speeds. That's why my friend's dorm buddy got cable and they all use it and tip in their share of the payments every month. I'm sure it's common for that to happen up there, since I guarantee nobody up there, is living off of dial-up speeds. You can't even be on AIM sometimes long enough cause the internet's so weak it'll disconnect you. :/ I experienced this life style before, for a long time, too. I don't want to deal with it again. Ugh, every time my current wireless connection goes hay wire I go nuts. I want my dad to get Comcast. I pay 20$ for my lame DSL, and it's 20% of what Comcast gives you for twice as much. The only give I wanted for my birthday like two or three years ago, was just that, but never got it... If I experience Comcast speeds up there, I might never come home (on account I wouldn't have a wide anyways ;P). My school has four main buildings for four categories of courses: Design, Media, Culinary, and Fashion. On account of those, you take your GE classes somewhere else, but I don't know where. There was a library~ish, computer place I saw when I took my placement. Maybe it's there? Don't know yet. Walking around in the city isn't too bad. I'm just totally out-of-shape, lol. I'm like some obese guy. I can be the most athletic, in-shape type person when I took like gym every other day in school, but since Summer I don't have school and pretty much stay at home for the most part, yeah... I love my aunt for helping me. I'll probably have to do the same with my sister when it's her time, lol. I'll try to get her something really nice this Christmas or for her birthday, or once I get settled in, since she lives in the city too, she can take the train over and we can grab a bite to eat somewhere or shop. That's after I work and make a on of money from it, lol.

@Onii-chan~ lol Sometimes I wish I was a morning person. That way I would attempt to apply for a more morning-ish job. I only apply for ones for like 10AM till late-night. Beansprouts... just taste weird to me. Kinda like celery. Just don't enjoy the taste. :x I love curry, but due to a certain persons hate for it in this house, we don't cook curry items. ;_; @Adel~ Yeah, back at my mom's to stay again. I will try to get use to the schedule thing. xD DA~ I don't have much clue on the dorms. But they are different than apartments. I thought you could pay for certain semesters to get a dorm room or something. I see what you're saying. Much easier to maintain an apartment with more people. You should probably just stick with the dorm like your aunt suggests for now. lol I always thought that there is another person that's just like you. Apparently you met yours then. Makes me wonder where's mine. xD Errk... a widely shared network with other students... Doesn't sound too safe. One of my friends had that same type of system at his school. Someone got into his folders somehow and deleted some things. Gotta be careful with those. For a better connection, maybe try a library? Or hope your schools library runs on a separate connection. Doubt it though. Reminds me of the connection that I used in Missouri that crashed constantly. I was glad I had the connection though. Back home here, I use my neighbors connection as well. I don't use the house connection since it's always password protected. House connection is owned by my mother's boyfriend. Pain in the butt to ask for a password from him. :\ I just stick with the really low connection rate. lol The Summer can bring about the most laziness in people. So many get out of shape due to it. Be it food or just the sleeping in a lot. Since you have to walk from building to building, might as well walk or run laps around the school. :3 Your aunt seems really nice. I kinda wished I had someone to really help me after I finished high school. Maybe if I had that help, I would have actually decided to continue school. But, can't change the past now. I will make sure to help my sister get to college though. lol I told her to go to college and finish and get a good job. Then she could raise me and I could just lounge around. xDD |

My aunt came out today to talk with me about that. I gotta like, look up some bank info online about student loans. If it comes out that dorms are more expensive, then yeah I'd want to move (maybe with my dorm buddies). I can't really think too far ahead yet though, but I don't want to live by myself, it's only more stressful since I'm a student. My aunt's really pushing me to get an apartment for some reason, I think she says it might be cheaper, but there's no way I'm living by myself, so that's that. If I have a good connection with my dorm buddies, maybe we can move together. The thing is some apartments are different in terms in what they give you with rent, like utilities. Other apartment costs more because you have to pay separately for stuff, and by yourself, that's stressful. My friend tells me to get like waitering jobs to get tips (more money), but I don't want to work myself to death. "lol I always thought that there is another person that's just like you.", what? XD Well they use the same source for internet, but it's so slow since the dorms are huge. Also about where you work (like, in class), you don't use accounts (for reason), so it's only on a single account so the person after you or whatever can see your files. It's basically like everyone using your computer and storing their files where ever. I have a flash drive, so that'll be fine I suppose, I'll talk more with my friend about this if I remember. My high school had accounts, that you can log into any computer. Everyone had their own of course. Of course on the Macs (in DMM) you had your own there, too. So the tech-ed kids had two mostly. It's funny how quickly I become totally in shape and out of shape when school's out, haha. Even during school if we have a short break, I can loose it. I was more fit back in the day when I played basketball all the time. It's rough jogging around in the city, plus there's so many stop lights and stuff your "flow" would be interrupted constantly. XD My aunt's pretty independent. My family has that whole older member helping younger member thing. She did really well in school, she knows how to deal with life, she can manage on her own easily. I should show more love to her, but ahh, y'know... =^_^= She helps me with school more than my mom. My mom seems clueless on literally everything. :/ Why do you think my aunt's helping me, cause my mom doesn't know anything. And I always thought your parents take care of everything for you...

I think the apartment might be cheaper. Though, its more of the dorm experience that you want before the apartment experience. Different living arrangements and everything. Stick with the dorm, if you're not feeling the apartment thing yet. It's not very good if you have to pay separate fees for stuff like utility. Gotta find one where you just pay rent, and not worry about water and electricity bills yet. I believe some apartments already come with couches and stuff. Job wise, I wouldn't go for waiting tables yet. Especially if you have classes. I mean, there are times where there is no business, but then you have the rush hours. lol I think I need to rephrase it. Kinda like there's another person out in the world, that does the same things as others. Basically "to a T." Hence,"There is someone else that is just like me or you." I think that's phrased better. xDD Gotta make sure to store all important items onto the flash. I remember when I use to my computer,which is broken now, that our connection was all a share. I was able to get into my sisters folders and music from my computer in my room and vice versa. Not a big fan of it. My old school's computers were never very protected. No logging into anything. Just get on one of them and go. Of course they block certain sites though. lol In shape, out of shape. I was told that I looked like I lost weight when I got back to VA. My mom told me that, and then told me that I should work out. Build muscle and stuff. But then she asked if I wanted a hair clip. :\ Both my aunts are in like their 50/60's. One is losing her hearing and the other constantly works at a restaurant. One hates me and one likes me. Kinda awkward. But it is one aunt from each side of the family. My mom is the same way. It was like right after 5th grade. She stopped helping me with anything. School work and all that, I had to do it myself. Never any help. |

Well both sides has flaws and benefits, y'know. With dorms, you only pay for things out of the tuition (food, cable, etc.). For apartments, it can be a variety of different things really. My aunt found a house where you only had to pay for water, but it was too much a month to pay it off. I'm not sure what kind of job or how much money I'll make a month, but I don't want to spend everything on rent (cause I'd have to). I want to work a good deal in college, yeah, but I also want to have the freedom to shop and have fun buying stuff. I want to get a relaxing job, then again not be someone who's picky. To be honest, the rush hour thing doesn't bother me, maybe not for a waitering job, but maybe something like at a mall or shopping outlet, something like that. Once I dorm in and my friend shows me around the city, we'll take a look perhaps. Oh, lol, well, we got along great. Just another girl that could potentially be something more, but the distance thing kills it. T_T I used my flash drive a lot in school, so I'm used to that process, y'know. School networks proxying websites, that's not un-common anymore. It's funny in school, people used to go to all lengths to find proxy servers just so they could go onto MySpace or Facebook, lol. It's weird calling someone your aunt, when they're like older than your parents. Like I greet them in my language and all, so it never bothers me about transliterations. I have a ton of aunts, I don't even know if they're called "aunts", really. The women of the family? :O lol, that sounds kind of sad to deal with. The thing with my mom, she wants like everything out of me. I tell her to relax and whatnot, but she stresses herself out and uses that against me, which is dirty. When my dad was sick, I couldn't go anywhere or anything, which was fine. Since Summer began, I barely have been able to do anything, actually I've gone nowhere all Summer long. Might be going to Dorney Park today though, and my mom was like yelling at me. Like the constant nagging and whatnot will drive you crazy, like she went upstairs, went into my room (I was in the bathroom), and she yelled out where I was, like wtf, I'm in the friggin' bathroom, there's no need to freaking make a commotion and yell. That whole inside-outside voice thing, yeah she breaks those barriers... About kids not going home cause they enjoy college so much, I might not come home to not deal with her nagging.

Definitely shouldn't go with a house. I think my friend has found a small apartment near his school. I assume he has a roommate of some sort. The financial aid and etc. work for the dorms. Though would they cover for apartment rent? Well, if your school helps you find a job, it should be rather easy. Probably try to find one where they only require 2-3 days of work or so. Malls are a nice choice. I know the ones around here close at like 9pm. Not sure about the ones in other states, probably the same. Those jobs there seem rather relaxing. I try not to get too close to people anymore, but get along great with others. Maybe at one point, by chance, a meet up in life will happen. lol I remember my school blocking a Pokemon website before. I believe I was probably the only person going to it daily. xDD I'm kinda use to doing that. I had to call some many close friends of the family aunt or something. I have to call some of my friends moms aunt. Not even related at all. I rarely talked to my mom this whole Summer. But she does the same thing. She asks about job, plans, the works. Though, she has never complained about my driving, but complained about having to drive me. xDD I guess that's how most mothers work. lol If you don't come home sometimes, still gotta give a call. |

[@GM] I'm not sure, I gotta ask my friend, but he said they give you an e-mail with a huge list of like freelance work. This relates more with Website Designers and Graphic Designers, like me, but I want to get a real job where you get out and whatnot, since you'd make more money, plus I'd want to get out a lot when I'm living in the city for college cause I want to explore the city and meet new people/friends. But I also want to spent a good deal of time in the dorms to work on personal side projects and of course be here and watch anime, of course. ^_~` I hope getting a job in the city is easier though, like the whole processing of getting called it. Would they call anyways? :/ I'm sure if my aunt comes home for holiday, she'd take me with her. To be honest, I have no idea how this is going to work out, but we'll figure that out later. [@Naru] Oh lucky you that you got all the paper work done. I'm still dealing with taking out a loan and all that, my aunt's helping me.

@Naru~ Ahhh.. schools almost starting. Gotta get situated first. I've been home for a week now. Trying to catch up on shows. How you been? @DA~ That sounds nice actually. The mall seems like a nice choice. Probably try a small part-time job then. I assume they would still call. Unless they actually e-mail instead. I'm sure it will be figured out when the time comes. @Onii-chan~ lol I was semi-use to it when I had to wake up for school. But, its so use to waking up in the afternoon now. I can try 10 AM though. xDD I can't even describe how it taste, but I rarely eat it. Well... family is like underclass here. So don't cook specific food for someone. :c @Jc~ My mom helps on certain things. Half the time now, she always brings me bad news about something. But they help when they can. |

[@GM] Yeah, like is the whole process of getting hired better in the city or what? If they e-mailed, that'd be ridiculously awesome for me. XD Times are coming in a bit faster now, and Summer's almost over. I don't have classes until the first week of October or so, but I want to get moved in by September, maybe the second or third week. Have time to get settled in and relax, get used to the city by touring a bit, have time to perhaps find a job and whatnot, try to get some applications, etc. I also need to buy my Mac soon, too, and I want to have time to play around with it and get used to it. I think I'm going to bring my PC with me, and I might have to get a new desk. My friend said he can get me a chair cheap so I don't think I have to worry about. I'm still figuring out if I'll move in with him, but I have to wait for my one friend to get ready. He's still taking care of the FAFSA stuff. He's been on vacation for two months so he never had time to do it.
