Well, I winged my finals Thursday in hopes of passing and got B’s, which goes to show that paying no attention and doing everything last minute really does pay off :P. I moved to a new state yesterday and have been cleaning up and settling in all day today. Tuesday I have a job interview that I hope goes well.

Since, I wont be returning to school next semester I will have all Spring/ Summer to put a huge focus on Japanese studying :D.

@missing – Good luck with getting a girl, is she.. Japanese?! :O

@Mister – Now you’ve done it! Don’t get me started on Nintendos :P. Actually my first memory of any gaming system was the NES my older brother had (mostly putting the orange gun to the screen to cheat in Duck Hunt), my family had entirely skipped SNES and I had an N64. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the N64. My younger brother and I spent most of our childhood conquering games together. But now that I’m older I have a SNES and the variety, quality, and difficulty offered for the SNES is far greater than that of the N64. Sure N64 has some really REALLY awesome games, but compared to the SNES, not even close. Especially now that I am revisiting and re-playing a lot of things on the N64 I had in my childhood and looking at them I’ve often found myself thinking “WTF, why did I think this game was good/cool?”. The N64 for the most part had really goofy, early stages of 3D graphics and they looked terrible (clearly there are a few exceptions), and aside from the big hits they often seem to be quite short as well. Not to mention there are SO MANY foreign games for the SNES that are awesome that I can’t even touch right now (come on Japanese learning!).

My fondest video game memories are of the N64, GameBoy, GameCube. It wasn’t until later in life that I discovered what a foolish mistake my family made by skipping the SNES. :P

@MisterM2402 Plus that’s when anime started playing on cartoon network/ scy-fy channel :P

It has really steered my diet in a healthier direction, not to mention it saves me money I used to waste on junkfood. Plus all of the recipes in Just Bento are fairly quick and easy to execute, so I don’t have to worry about wasting a lot of time and energy on meals when I could be doing other things. It has definitely paid for itself many times over, and I only purchased it in October. I would definitely recommend it!

Or if your parents will let you, you can ask local restaurants if you can wash dishes/ bus tables to get paid ‘under the table’. I used to deliver Chinese food/ answer the phones for orders when I was 15/16. Their English wasn’t so great and they didn’t know the town very well so it was a huge help for them, and convenient for me. Just be sure to keep track of what you are getting paid so you’re still profiting.
