Updates: 040314
It's an update post, so my thoughts will be jumping around quite a bit. You've been warned!
About my recent posts... I should be feeling more than slightly ashamed of them, shouldn't I? All that nonsense about love and feeling lonely... How sappy. How gross, actually... I should just keep quiet about these things from now on, actually... It's genuinely weird to read.
Anyway! It's the holidays now, and we've got something like a 5-month break before the universities start their intake for the newsemester trimester. Semester, trimester... It's like a new language that I need to get used to, with the dates all over the place as compared to poly schedules, and quite frankly it's tripping me up - I take back any complaints I might have had at the beginning of poly education about the "confusing" timetables and dates cos that shit's got nothing on universities.
So... With a 5-month break comes the immediate need to GET A JOB. I've been looking through the classifieds (don't ask me why I seem to like using them more than the job agencies everyone prefers, I just do) for a retail job, and some seem pretty cool.
Problem: My aunt wants me to work for her.
The situation isn't as bad as it may seem to be, since she's paying me a pretty decent sum and the job seems easy enough. All I have to do is answer calls and field complaints from unhappy people in the building or direct them to someone who might be able to help them with whatever problems they might have.
Sounds easy enough, doesn't it? The problem is that I loathe these kinds of jobs.
I genuinely loathe desk jobs, because they're boring and make me feel like all I'm actually achieving is a big fat lump of nothing. I won't lie, I'm good at these types of jobs - my last two "real" jobs (not counting internship) were telemarketing and I was pretty good at that (come on, it's easy). The thing was that I absolutely hated those jobs and only took them because the pay was good, but I swore to myself that I would never take a job like that again because it was that tedious and boring.
But they make for good pay ughhhhhhhhhh. *rolls around*
To be honest, I don't really care about the job - I don't mind doing it. The only thing I'm really unhappy about this is how pushy my aunt's being about this. I get that she's understaffed, but I'm not kidding when I say she didn't actually give me a chance to say no.
I'm starting work tomorrow to try it out, so hopefully it's not as boring as I think it's going to be. Fingers crossed!!
Also I've finished watching D.Gray-man! It took me slightly longer than I expected, but hey, that's what you get when you spread all the episodes out over a week. Of course, the question now is WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE SIGH.
Quick review: I loved it! I started watching this because I felt I should, you know, since it's kind of one of our generation's classics (it first started serialisation in 2004) and just about anyone I know has either heard of it or already watched it when they were in primary or secondary school. It's a bit sad that I hopped onto the wagon so late, but better late than never, right? (Also not my fault that Allen is so attractive for a 15-year-old, sigh)
I think it's a must-watch for most anime fans, and the plot is pretty good too! Of course, I can't watch anything without shipping it, so... Allena for me, definitely.
I know most people don't quite favour the two of them, but I think they fit well. I like how the animators don't push them together and force some kind of romance, but imply that they care very deeply for each other. So it makes for something that's sweet and innocent, but could possibly lead to a more romanticised sort of love in the future.
Gah I'm not making sense.
Fair warning though - the anime and manga are on indefinite hiatus, because the creator is ill (or so I hear). That's really sad actually, because it's been so long (about a year, I think) since the manga had a new chapter, and the whole series is sinking into oblivion since there are no updates. It's even been taken off most manga scanning/translation sites since there are no new chapters, and that to us is the saddest thing of all. There are rumours that there'll be new anime episodes if and when the manga hits 300 chapters, though, so that'll be something to look forward to even if we still have quite a ways to go before we get to 300!
Oh, we've got our Mediabiz Awards this Friday too. I know we say awards, but it's really more like a celebratory party of sorts for the graduating CMM seniors. I'm not close to many of my coursemates, but it'll be fun to go, especially since it's Grease-themed this year. Can't wait!
Now for the incoming spam... BECAUSE I CAN'T HELP MYSELF AND HAVE TO GIVE IN TO MY INNEROTAKU FANGIRL OKAY.
