Restless (again)

I have a feeling I have a post with the same title (hence the again). Gaah I was completely unproductive today. Well, I did tidy up my room a little so I guess that counts for something? Unintentionally woke up too late to get anything done, wasted too much time on the internet.

I am decidedly addicted to my computer. If my computer were a drug, I think I'd be dead by now. If my computer was alcohol, I'd be in the hospital for getting alcohol poisoning. This is terrible. -_- So I shall somehow separate myself from this terrible and unhealthy addiction and start being more productive.

The sad part is, I need my computer and what's worse, I have another computer coming in.. X.x I bought a netbook from the states because I don't like this one (it's too heavy, the keys are weird and it's too much of a compromise for a main computer that is still portable). So I decided to buy a cheap netbook and a cheap desktop with good specs. I've been able to find both at a little more than what I bought this laptop for so once I sell this thing, I won't have lost too much money. yayyy

Meh~ otherwise, not much going on. Need to start working out again. I think that there's so much to do, so much freedom and everything seems important that I'm having difficult prioritizing... must do one thing at a time........ X.x

Freeeeeee (ish)

So I'm more or less "done" with work - they asked me to stay on for 2 more days (Tuesday and Saturday) because they need a teacher. It's perfectly fine - I'm getting paid hourly and is better than nothing. :)

Need to revamp my schedule... X.x Decided that doing my chores first is a waste of time. I need to study and write first! Chores must come later.

Honestly, people who can juggle like 20 different things is such an admirable quality. If I get too busy at work, everything at home go down the drain. Laundry will pile up for a month, my room will literally be a disaster area and I will eat out every day. But! I'm learning. Slowly but surely. :)

At any rate, gonna go to Taiwan to visit my lovely Joslyn. :) I'm so excited!!! I just hope that the language barrier won't be really really bad and I don't get ripped off TOO much... -_-

List of what I want to accomplish while I'm not working

I'm so excited to be done with work that I have a list of things I want to do *hopefully* on a daily basis.

1. Study for the GRE

- do practice problems for the Literature in English Subject test

- do practice problems for the Regular GRE

- memorize vocab

2. Read - though this will mainly be on the subway, I hope to read a lot

3. Write

- work on my book

- fix my papers to send out to my professors

4. Sleep regularly

- I have so many plans to have a regular schedule but I have to come up with a set schedule of things I want to accomplish by the end of the day. Hopefully this will work out.

5. Work out

- Running and muay thai. Hopefully a combination of the two

6. See Seoul

- Hopefully while I try to stake out different places to study, I'll be able to see Seoul. I plan on going hiking and studying at the top of a hill in a pagoda. Maybe I'll even pack a lunch... heeeee

Man the freedom that I'll have is just so enticing that I really can't wait! 2 more weeks 2 more weeks 2 more weekssssssssssss

Work

OMG

I can't wait for work to be over. X.x I think I'm really really burnt out and there's just so much that I want to do that I can't that it's really frustrating for me to sit through work.

I got asked to work an extra week so I still have 2 more weeks. X.x NO MOOOOOOOORE

Taking October off so I can take the GRE and rest. I'm so excited.

Marriage

It seems that there are so many people that want to spend the rest of their lives together and get married.

Honestly, at this point in my life, I don't really understand it. Perhaps its the lack of having a boyfriend and the love of freedom that I feel this way, but I really can't imagine settling down. The thought creeps me out. I mean in a sense, I can sense the excitement of starting a new life with someone and how learning more about that person each day (their daily habits and what not) can be interesting for a while, but it gets tiring after a while, doesn't it? X.x

I don't know, I think that I'm still too immature to even think about marriage. I can't even keep my room clean!

That aside, there are many things that I have to think about. I can't wait until work ends I have some chill time. I'm debating whether or not I want to just take the entirety of October off and just chill (get ready for grad school, take the GRE and the KLPT or something - its the Korean Language Proficiency Test I think). I dunno perhaps I should work and be productive... haha we'll see. ^_^

Running and Google Chrome

I went running today and it was awesome. I hate running but today I just needed to exercise to let off some steam. Did I mention yet that I hate work? It's such bullcrap. But I'm trying to be less negative so we'll leave it at that. I'm going to post on my secret blog (aka a word document) all the reasons why my workplace is a terrible place to work at. However, for here, I shall post of happy things.

Like running. So as I was saying, I hate running. It's the worst thing ever - especially because I get tired really fast, I have no endurance and it's just plain boring. However, being that I had all this excess energy, I decided to pull a Nike and just do it.

I ran for 40 minutes (which is an all time record for me since I usually last like 5 minutes and then walk the rest of the way back and then tell people that I went running for 20 minutes -_-) and I sprinted probably the last 50 yards or so. It was just so exhilarating and I feel thinner! (though I highly doubt it). At any rate, I think exercise is so completely underrated and it's quite unfortunate that it is because people would just be so much happier with exercise. I must say though, volleyball is so much better.

That aside, I've decided that Google Chrome sucks. Although it is faster and more responsive than either Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, it still has its issues.

1. It can't open PDFs. With my slowass computer at work, what ends up happening is, everything on the dang thing starts lagging because Google Chrome tries to open up Adobe Reader but not the actual PDF file. So it's irritating.

2. Randomly Google Chrome will crash. It's usually when I've downloaded an attachment like a Word document and then I get that irritating message: "Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed. Restart now?" WHYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?! Just open the dang attachment. My goodness.

3. It doesn't automatically delete things/doesn't have an option to automatically delete things. Like downloaded files that you would normally just open. I have to actively delete my history and all that (not that it's that big of a deal) but I mean I'm sure eventually it all gets backed up and takes up a lot of space, no? I dunno, I just delete it all. I guess more than anything, I'm paranoid about like spyware, adware, hackers and the like. Meh~ I suppose it isn't that big of a deal though.

I'm thinking of converting to Firefox but it takes foreeeeeeeeeever to load. I dunno maybe I'll try like one of the Mac browsers like Safari or something. Bleh~

I Quit!

So I told my workplace that I was quitting, which means that as of 10/1, I have no job! Hallelujah! I guess I shouldn't be so happy, but just the idea of being able to relax a little (finally) is just so exciting for me. I have a bunch of plans that *hopefully* will go through. If not, meh~ so it goes, so it goes.

I have to start applying to other places but because most places will probably want me to work right away, I'm planning on waiting until later to apply since I know I'm pretty marketable. :D Maybe I'll apply to Princeton Review. I'm thinking of trying my hand at teaching English though (I know I said I didn't want to before because I'm not completely confident in it) but I mean if I have lesson plans from the company, I don't think it'll be too bad. (I hope I'm not being too optimistic... haha)

Anyway, with that said, I just hope things will be ok! :)

Now I have to create a grad school schedule so that I can hurry up and get everything together to apply! ^_^
