Fuck, I hate my credit union. I have an account with a credit union through my school so they can direct deposit my financial aid into it, and because of a mistake on both my part and the CU’s part I ended up getting my account -$200. But I’m supposed to get financial aid coming in this coming weekend, like enough to easily pay that off. But they won’t let me use direct deposit anymore because the account is now inactive because of that. So right now I’m getting ready to go up to my school, wait in line, so I can change my disbursement from direct deposit to check instead. Just overall annoying, ugh.

Anyways, other than that, I haven’t started back up yet with RTK (remembering the kanji), like I’ve been wanting to, but may start later today after I’m home. I have been trying to learn and study new grammar though. But I’ve been a bit stressed lately, haven’t been able to buy books for my classes yet, which isn’t a big deal with most of my classes but still.

To conclude.. I found a great website I’m really liking, I’ve been searching for a good language exchange website for a while and most just weren’t appealing to me. But I recently found http://www.sharedtalk.com/ , and it has people of various languages on it, has it’s own e-mail system and chat-rooms (which is what I use the most).

頑張れ！

こんばんは皆さん～

Whats upppp. Thought it’s time to make a new post already, been a couple days. I started my autumn quarter classes, so far my ‘Intro to Computer Design’ class is easy as all we’ve done so far is go over stuff and do simple stuff in Photoshop that I already know how to do. I’m waiting for us to get to using Illustrator and Quark, as I don’t know how to use those programs. I’m already missing my Japanese Class, but well my college sucks and only had a year of it.

But yeah, it’s time for self-study in Japanese now! I’ve already started to learn more new things, mostly grammar and vocabulary, on my own. I should probably start back up on Kanji soon, and I think either today or tomorrow I’ll start getting into kanji again. So far I only know 150 Kanji, that includes writing, recognizing and knowing readings. Theres a bit more kanji than that number that I can recognize somewhat, but can’t write and etc.

I was thinking about going ahead and taking the JLPT4 this December. I know I could pass it but I don’t think I’ll be able to take it because it’s kind of far away from me and I don’t have the money to make it over there. So I’m going to aim that by December 2009 I’ll be able to take and pass JLPT3, possibly even JLPT2 if I work hard enough, but that’s just a hope.

Anyways, gotta go for now as Terron is telling me to start getting ready to head out. Going to go possibly buy a couple new pieces of clothing then go out for a friends birthday party.

Hello world!

Hey everyone.. well, I’m sure nobody is yet reading my blog at the time of creation of this blog post, so hey nobody, right now. This is just going to be a short and simple beginning post, I won’t put much of an intro. here because I put that under my ‘About’ page. So I suggest going to check that out, because its quite awesome.

It’s 6 am over here right now and I’m not sure why I’m awake. Actually it’s probably because I slept almost all through the day since I’ve been sick. Anyways, I decided to create a blog here because well, I pretty much just did because I felt the impulse to do it. I already have a blog that I don’t post in often on Livejournal, I mostly just use it to watch posts in various communites I’m in over there. But maybe creating this one will make me get into blogging a bit more.

Well then, I think that’s it for now. Enjoy!
