The power of voodoo.

tortoisegirlI've been looking back on this journal and I really need to update more often, once every 2 months isn't exactly a good track record.
First, the standard complaints about school. I screwed up pretty badly this semester- I'll have to repeat three classes because my grades weren't high enough to get credit. Yeah, I don't know what happened. I kinda crapped out on myself at the end and didn't hand in a bunch of stuff...I don't know. It's all making me really sick of being in school and wishing I could just leave, but I've come this far and can't justify dropping out without getting a degree after already putting so much time and money into my schooling. I'll have to keep reminding myself that, duh, the more classes you don't have to repeat the faster you get out of here.
Right now it's looking like I won't go to grad school after I get my bachelor's. Besides just being sick of academia, I still don't have a solid idea of what I want to do in life so spending more time in school seems like a waste. I have to try stuff out to see what I like and I can't do that if I'm in school.
Which brings me to my next issue: money. Holy hell, I need a job. My saving are officially gone and Temple University Japan is already demanding a ton of money for next semester. I had my passport photo taken today and I'm working on getting a visa (which totally sucks, I hate government paperwork).
So that's pretty much what I'm up to now: trying to not hate myself for being an academic screw-up and frantically getting everything set to go overseas. And to end on a lighter note, I've gotten this weird craving for stuff involving zombies, so I've been scanning all the movies on TV for zombie flicks (even the really bad ones) and I got a novel about zombies from the library to start my summer reading. Zombies make me happy right now.
