I have broadband internets now........ With this smooth controlling mouse and the ability to download pictures I feel like I've now caught up with everyone from 2002. It's so much better. Everyone else takes it for granted. So if there's been anything that you've wanted me to see, but I've replied, "I can't I have 56k lol" send it to me here as in reply to me and post whatever it is. I really don't expect anyone to do that.
Live has been going back in forth between school and work, as usual. The calendar stores have opened up a new store called "Games Express". It's right near the front (or back depending on your perspective) of the food court. So if you go to the mall and I'm working there I'm most likely going insane from bordem there.
I turned in my Japanese speech a day late... which was the day my Japanese composition was due.... which I'll turn in on Monday... which is the day my Journal is due... which I'll turn in on Wednesday... which is the day this week's worksheets are due. Yeah I'm a little behind on things. I still hate how dull most of my classes are and how little free time they give me.
I started finally reading a collection of Lovecraft stories.
Saw 30 Seconds to Mars last weekend with Zach. The keytarist from Cobra Starship sat down next to us without our knowing and then disappeared. Yeah, it was awesome.

Yeah, I don't use this thing anymore. Seriously...
It's nothing personal, but Facebook and MySpace a just more interesting, eventhough there isn't any "blog" feature. And it's not that Livejournal doesn't have enough neat tricks or anything, it's just that I'm preoccupied with other things. I'll always have the memories of all the good times and drama, but it's good-bye for now. I'm sure you won't really notice my absense too much. After all I know you've been whoring yourself out to... what is it now? I know it was in the thousands last time I checked. I'm hoping we can still be friends though. I promise I'll stop by once in a while just to say hi. And I might even use you to keep in touch with the people we both know. But like I said, It's been good times and I wish you the best. No, don't cry, you'll only make it harder. Good night and so long.

Been really busy... so I haven't been keeping this updated. There's really very little to update besides the ever changing stress levels from school, which I don't think most people care about too much.
I did start working at the calendar store again. Nothing has changed there. And I joined a Bible study. Still trying to get a grasp on their sense of humor and way of doing things, but it should be good.
This Sunday is a Japanese Culture Fest in Southfield. Anyone want to go?

Japanese class- took a kanji quiz... Joe found some friend's of his eating pizza durring break and they gave what they couldn't eat to him. It made the room smell like Little Ceaser's and made it hard to focus.
Afterwards, hung out with Tony and some other people, like I've gotten in habit of doing after Japanese. They told me that they were giving out free cans of Moster energy drink, but I'd missed it.
Joe talked to me about Magic as we walked to the Student Center (place I eat lunch) and I acted like I was listening.
Then ran into Sami and we went to Showtime - a nifty little shop on the outreaches of space... err... campus. I bought a fleece thing for $5. Good deal. The guy who works there is always humorous.
Then we bumped into Pat and bugged him while he was talking on the phone to his girlfriend.
"Pat, look a squierl!"
"Pat, why do you only have 28 flavors at your work?"
Then I went to Microecon. The class is actually starting to get interesting. Not because the subject matter is interesting, but because the professor has been going on tangents about when he used to be an attorny. It makes me wonder if I should switch majors into something law related.
I then happend to run into Pat again today and we talked religion and politics.

Going from the extreme feeling of needing to get all my homework done, and done well to feeling extremely lazy probably hasn't been good for me.
I talked to a guy from my last semester English class about a week ago and he was talking to me about how I'm the type of person who needs to be challenged and that anything business related will be too easy for me. And after being in Economics (where we were taught what the x- and y-axis are) and Statistics (let's look at a power point that's near identical to the book). I began to think he was right.
Since then I've had trouble caring in most of my classes. At the same time I feel like I have an overwelming amount of stupid easy work. But Japanese and Business Law class remain challenging at least.
Today we had a "club sign up day". A friend of mine from Japanese last year is starting up a Japanese Club, so I stayed at that booth most of the day to help encourage people to sign up and answer questions and what not. I really do like working at booths for some reason. It reminded me of working at Otakon a bit. Eventhough it's already being mocked and called "The Weaboo Club" I'm looking forward to being involved with SOMETHING on campus this semester.

So I guess I've been overly stressed out from school lately. I give myself a no homework day once every year. It's usually in the beginning of Decemeber that I use it. But now I'm using it in the second week of class.
I've been feeling sick lately too with red eyes and a constant headache. But after playing Paper Mario for most of my day. I feel much better.
In other news, I was thinking about growing a beard, but my facial hair is too patchy. I should probably shave sometime this weekend since I haven't done that in a while.
I start work at Day By Day Calendar this week. I quit my "job" at American Bistro. Looks like I'll be working with Adam Sloan now, so that will make things interesting.

The rather spontaneous combination of Jarritos and Taco Bell has left a taste in my mouth that has stayed the morning after. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Statistics:
Sat down in a big lecture hall. A few seats seperate everyone though. My seat is in about the dead center.
A man in his 30's stands at the front of the class. He has a slight Indian accent. He has a syllabus in the form of a power point presentation to show us.
After he finishes, he gives us the bad news. A large part of our grade is going to be based on group work. We have a few minutes to select two strangers that will shape our score.
I invite a man sitting a few seats over from me to join my group. Then, pausing to see if anyone else is still in search, I ask a girl from the row behind me.
After talking with them breifly, I noticed that the man doesn't have good communication skills, but has a Associates in Accounting. The girl seems more down to earth.
Japanese 3010:
I'm running late for class dew to trouble with finding parking... parked on the outskirts of campus. I get up to Monoogian a couple minutes late to see my friend Kathrynn at the doorway.
"No one is in the class yet."
"Oh... what room is it."
"It's next door to our old one."
"Oh, that's easy."
"What time does it start, I forgot my schedule?"
"Umm... now."
"Yeah, let's go."
I walk in the room. Joe gives me a handshake and I sit down and talk with him and Rachele, who I have not been in a class with since last fall.
Remember that Masuda Sensei is still our teacher, I move up to the front row next to Kathrynn. Masuda would've had us all move up to the first two rows anyway.
Nope. She runs into the room in her usual fashion and asks us to get into a circle.
I had almost forgot. Masuda's Japanese classes are the hardest kindergarden classes on the planet.
Looking around the room I see 3 new faces. I later learn that the two guys are also into video games and that the shy emo girl had lived in Japan.
Things go as usual from there as if summer had never ended.
With one exception. None of our Japanese was up to par. There was one section of questions that Sensei asked us that none of us understood.
Micro Economics:
Soaked with water, I find a seat near the front. The class waits in silence. A few minutes later a black man walks in the door.
"It's like a monsoon out there! Dead bodies everywhere!"
The class makes its first sound as laghter drafts threw the room.
He's professional for the most part. Always down to the brass-tax. Yet, breaks off from this and tells small jokes here and there. He doesn't care about attendence and there's no homework.
He starts to teach. He goes on about graphs and different theories of the economy for a bit.
Then we're free to go.
Business Law:
The professor wears a bow-tie. And he's the first one I've met that acknowleges he does so. He teaches the class very strictly his own style. He goes on about the syllabus and the amount of reading we'll have to do and how to get the best outlines.
Then he gives some encouragement to all the freshmen, by telling us how prestigious WSU's business school is, and why WSU students are top choice for being picked by businesses.
He pauses breifly and then starts his lecture. He breazes through 2 chapters.
Many of the concepts I think I know, but apparently I don't so well. He seems very mis-mashed and I think he may be making things more confussing than necessary. I think he discusses some ethics incorrectly. A lot is throw at us at once though.
We do have a break. At which time I pull out my DS, with nothing else to do.

It's a new year and I haven't written anything yet.
My first day was good. I hung out with Linz, Tony, and Baker.
When I got home, Zach called and me, him, and Tim went adventuring. I figured out that it's going to be really hard to get back into a schedule of doing homework, either at school or home. I've gotten so used to always being around friends. But the year is young... very young.
WSU must've caught on to AIM express, because it won't work now. And since it's just really easy to get things done here, I'll probably be on there even less than usual.
I'll update again sometime telling what classes have been like thus far (it seems to be traditional at this time of year).

Last night I got Jarritos for the third night in a row. Me and Tony combined our efforts of the two previous nights to bring both Pat and Harpo into the fry.
Andrew (Ziggapopawitzowski) and Tony got to my house around 10:30. Then we walked by Tony's old house and a graveyard on Saal. We arrived at Harpo's house at 11:45ish. After getting him off WoW (the evil drug) we went to Meijer's to get the Jarritos.
We arrived back on my street to drink the Jarritos, but Harpo's Republican bottle opener was of poor quality. After struggling with it for a while we got them all open and called Pat out of his house to join us. After finishing the Jarritos we went seperate ways and called it a night.

Monday-
Got up and had a message from work asking me to come in today. I tried calling them back, but they put me on hold for a while... and then I hung up and went on with my day.
I took care of a good chunk of the stuff I need to get done for school, but not all of it yet.
Hung out with Alex, with it being his last day in the 'heights. We listened to a couple of Dane Cook CDs and one of his DVDs. We also had an adventure at Target, GameStop, and Taco Bell. At GameStop, they had a demo of LocoRoco. Now there's one game on both PSP and XBox 360 that I actually like (that I can't get on other systems).
Around midnight, we were thirsty for Jarritos. So we picked those up and then went down to Tony's to drink them. I crashed there for the night.
Tuesday-
I dropped Dan off at his house and then headed home. I've kept to myself for the most part today, for whatever reason. I did help with the yard work though.

Well, today now makes 7 days of the summer that I didn't hang out with friends (or go to a wedding or something like that). I worked today and missed out on Tony's party because we were celebrating my dad's b-day here. I thought I'd better stay because I was in Baltimore for my mom's birthday.
But summer has been fantastic. Just about everyday has been good. I started to take a survey on MySpace (the one that's been going around on there) about summer, but then I started to get depressed because I didn't kiss anyone. I didn't get a really good tan or go swimming. Yeah, I had a weird summer, but I'm kind of a weird person. And it was good for me. It should ask questions like, "How many drunk friends have you driven home?" "Did you see Snakes on a Plane?" "How many days did you not leave your house?" "How many games did you beat?" "How many Jarritos did you drink?" etc.
I've been studying Japanese to catch up with things that never really sunk in, in the first place. The past couple of semesters I kinda fell behind.
My mind feel a lot better now that I haven't been to 4chan for a good month. I suggest others to likewise.

9:54AM
I don't know why I'm up this early. I've actually been up since like 7... and I woke up on my own.
Everyone is leaving for college in the next couple of weeks. Last night we said our good byes to Jake. It's gonna take a while to sink in that Zach, Terry, and Dave won't be around the area shortly.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but I've decided on going into marketing. I figure it can help me flex some creative skills, while working with numbers and getting paid pretty well.
I've actually started working at American Bistro. I'm not sure if I want to stay there or return to selling calendars. I have a few weeks to test the waters for now.
If you haven't seen Snakes on a Plane yet go see it now.
I forgot to give Jeff his copy of Battle Royal back for like the 3rd time. Oops.
The rhythem of summer is going weird again with periods of boredom and business. I can kinda feel the busy side of things picking up again soon though.

So today we sat on the porch and just hung out it was good. I got to see Walter again too. It's been a sucessful mission. It's too early to say weather or not I got the second job at Steve & Berry's. I think I'm just going to stick with American Bistro either way though for now.
Oh, I got a new phone number so just catch me on AIM, MySpace, or Facebook and I'll give that to you all.

"Hi Jacob [Jang]!
I received your e-mail with reference to our Jarritos, I thank you and
your friend[s] for your kind words and this awesome picture you all made,
it's really cool!!! In response to your e-mail, I printed it up and put
it in our kitchen so everyone can see it when they go get coffee in the
morning tomorrow and the following days. I also sent it to the owners
of Jarritos so they can check it out, it's really cool.
I would love to send you all some coupons, but I would need your address. I thank you
[all] again and hope you have an amazing afternoon."

I'm now back from the travels.
Otakon was fun, even though I didn't really go to the convention for anything other than working. Baltimore is a great city. Nice people, good times. Lots of good stories. I'll tell you laterz.

Finished Tales of Symphonia today. I was rather dissappointed with the ending.
I had to go into American Bistro today (I'm officially working there now) to fill out paper work. I thought I was nervous when I was there for my interviews, but it turns out the a/c has been wonky. I was sweting like mad today even though I had my mind more on the trip I leaving for tomorrow morning.
Probably will go to Sam's house tonight, not to crash it, but just to relax.
Jarritos!
Alright, I'll be back to leave comments in a week.

2:52PM
Well, I'm off to Otakon in a couple of days. Me and Alex found a ride. I'm a little bit worried about burning out too quickly, with these 12 hour work shifts. I have been running the past week, and that will probably help.
I've been trying to get to bed early too, but that hasn't worked. I've actually been having a little trouble sleeping the past couple of days (I'm sure I'll return to normal quickly). Twice now I've had a dream involving me in a maze of sorts. And there has been an adversary there (an old man). He usually ends up getting shot, but not killed. Last night I tried shooting him with a shot gun, only two bullets hit (both in the arm). He hid all my ammo.
I feel like I got a lot on my mind, but maybe I don't. I'm questioning my sanity again. I feel like there's a constant battle between two or three different sides of me going on in my mind.
I got hired at American Bistro as a bus boy. But I was also called in for an interview upon my return to MI at Steave & Berry's. I'll probably go to the interview and see if they sound like they're any better than AB.
My friends Ryan and Katie might move to Florida this week, because there's jobs down there and there aren't any here. One of their friends just up and moved last week and they're thinking about doing likewise. It's all kinda quick. I'm happy for them, but I know I'll miss them too. The Bible study I've been going to will probably fall apart, with just me and Jeff left. Maybe it's for the best since I don't know how things would work out with work and school and that.
Someone egged my parents car a couple nights ago. My dad thinks it was this kid who was trying to fight the woodchuck (Charlie Brown) that lives behind our house. And our garage door is finally broken (it's been in bad condition for years now).
I'm looking forward to being back in school, to a degree. But don't really, just like most years going back. I'm gonna miss those who are moving back or leaving for the first time.
