Almost the start of Fall

It is half way till Fall Quarter and I have all my books, I have my tuition paid for and am excited that I am helping my BF go to school. He has already taken the placement test and only needs to retake the reading part just because he doesn't want to pay for the ABE Reading class. I will help him out as much as possible.

I am just glad he is going through with this and the only thing that needs to happen now is I need to have a job. Need to have money coming in more than Unemployment is paying me. Can't do much with only making about 1 of my previous paychecks a month. It doesn't even cover all of my bills and I don't have that many. I had to put all my books onto a credit card so now whatever I get from financial aid will go back into that card.

I just need to buy supplies and I am good. And a job, don't forget that!

Rented my Interpersonal Communications book and will return it during Finals week. Bought the 2 books for English on Amazon, 1 from them and the other from a seller. I should be getting them before classes start I hope. I also sold and shipped my Math book and well from what it looks like I am not making money back for it I am just getting back what I paid to package and ship it. So next time I need to package it myself.

Only a few days left before my Mom and Auntie come from Guam to visit, I am excited and am having trouble sleeping. Which doesn't help the fact that I have to wake up at 6am tomorrow to help my BF's sister move. Need gas otherwise its not happening. And that gas isn't coming out of either of our pockets. Just can't afford it. I need a job!

Officially On Vacation~

I get 4 weeks off and it started yesterday but really it started last Wednesday. I am excited to say that I got an A in both classes! Japanese was fairly easy but I was worried because of the one test I know I didn't do well on. As for Math I was really trying hard and it did help that you can redo homework and quizzes. I know that if I wasn't able to redo them I would have a lower grade.

For Japanese 122 I was told to basically remember Hirigana and Katakana. But I am gonna try to remember as much as I can.

I am trying so hard to figure out how I am gonna pay for my books being that I still haven't found a job and unemployment only pays for so much, I am barely making most of my bills and my bf has to pay for some of my stuff. Ugh this is frustrating.

Life of an unemployed, living on my own/away from family, and full time college student. Fun times!

Just About Done

Finished my Math class with hopefully an A (if my iStudiez Pro works) and I am taking my Japanese Final tomorrow and I have already written my notes and hopefully it gets me through. I really should hop back on here and keep track but it is kinda hard when your on the job hunt, going to school and doing homework, either way I am happy with how I got through my first official quarter of college :) I am not counting ABE Class only because it is considered Pre-College.

Other than that I still want to get my winter schedule set but I am not fully sure what I want but I know I want to get any math classes out of the way!

Grr, my bad. I haven't been posting in a while and that's not good. Either way not much has happened, I am still looking for a job and I am still doing well in school. I have less than 2 weeks left and have my Finals next week. I am glad that I have gotten this far. I am absolutely not a morning person but for Fall I will have to get up an hour earlier because I have scheduled 3 classes and at the time I thought I had to keep it before 11 because of work.. but now I am just trying to find work.

Anyway I am trying to debate if I should start the last bit of stuff due today for Math, play Final Fantasy XIII or take a tiny nap.
