Gender benders. Yes, that's right. xd Feel free to smack me and my overactive imagination... or not comment at all. >->

( A day at the beach is not a day at the beach until the sun rises! And that sun is ME! I'm GORGEOUS! )

Hope that didn't scar your mind too much, folks (told you, told you). noetma and I were talking about this concept. Sexyconcept. *ahem* Thanks I needed to get that out of my system. >->;;

SoOoOOoOoO next week I'm going to start on cosplay, to get at least one costume done and out of the way. XD;;; I now have to make three, or, plan on making three.

1) Child Saphir <33333333 to complete my cosplay collection of Dist!
2) facklemuffin's Junior (XS3, right?? HIS JACKET LOOKS LIKE IT'S MADE OUT OF VINYL, AUGH I'M GOING TO DIE)
3) pwntendo's SRW character! ^_^

AND ALL COSTUMES HAVE SLEEVES (oh no!). Gotta get to work on them, somewhere, sometime. ;;

Oh yeah-- facklemuffin is currently OUT OF STATE! WHOO! NORTH CAROLINA, YOU LUCKY BUM, YOU! You better come back safe and in one piece!!! Bee tee dubs, your M3 already came in the mail so that will be your welcoming gift home, lulz. o___o;;; It shipped very, very fast. So it looks like you'll be playing DS very soon. :P No sign of the SD card yet. Moop. If you check your inbox I also registered you an account for cosplay.com, since you know, you will be having more than one costume you might as well show it off! ♥

And lastly, noetma, I will be booking zee hotel tonight, m'love. x: So let us congress before it really happens.

AS FOR THE LOT OF YOU-- I don't know if I'll be goin' to de Otakons or not. I have nooooo idea, there's a possibility but that's only a slight one. I really want to go - trust me on this one - but I'm not sure if my Jade can go. I'd really like it to go together again! ♥ Muuuu!! ;-; Afterall...


we make zee best Jade and Dist, EVERRRRRRRRRRRR!!! ♥

p.s. next semester I'm taking 18 credits (3 labs, too) AND working. I think I'm going to die ... so I may drop a stupid general education class. Hrmph.

KAY SO MY GRADES ARE FINALLY POSTED. WOOOOOOOOOO.

BIO 101 Principles of Biology I A 4.00
COM 100 Communication Fundamentals A- 3.00
CSC 101 Computing Concepts A 4.00
MTC 102 Intro Clinical Laboratory Sci A 1.00
WRT 106 Intro. to Research Writing A 3.00

GPA 3.94

UUUUU WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRIIIIISE! BUT WHY DID I HAVE TO GET AN A- UGUHGH AND IN THE MOST USELESS COURSE, EVER, IN ALL HISTORY OF COURSES.

GAH.

But I am ecstatic.

I will be until next semester, where Chemistry will slaughter my GPA. *weep* For now, I'm spoiled. >->

So what have I learned? All that stress was worth it, I think. Working 20 hours a week and full time college = POSSIBLE? Yes!

It's coooold. Damn cold out. *Shivers*

LATELY I've been watching medical dramus like House (crazy psycho old men are funny) and Grey's Anatomy (interns are stupidly funny) shutup. They're awesomely awesome. I also now am in posession of GA scrubs. >__>;;; ThankyouverymuchAlexander'sUniforms. LET ME TELL YOU THEY ARE THE MOST AMAZINGLY SOFT PAIR OF SCRUBS I EVER BOUGHT. MRRR!! Plus, they fit very well, and that's a shock- I always have trouble finding XS that actually fit- they're always so damn baggy! WHEE. New scrubs for work make Ashi happy. I love buying scrubs. ♥ Though I still am way too short for any pair of scrub pants to fit properly...so I need them hemmed at some point. Grr.

Why didn't I buy scrubs at a sooner point? Answer: Because I honestly didn't think I'd be able to keep the job for so long. ;;;;;;;;; It's weird. It's a very important job, handling specimen of patients, so I didn't know if I was cut out for it. When I first got the job they told me it was just for filling in a maternity leave so I was all "okay, it'll be just a couple months so I shouldn't get too adjusted." But hey, I have been getting compliments about my work. The supervisor is confident in me; he even started to talk about me staying here up until my very internship!!! WHOA. That's SO exciting!! >w< I even caught someone else's mistake for handling a cardiolipid spec (needed to be frozen NOT refrigerated) and he praised me on that, ha. And since the phlebotomist station is right next to my Send Outs station (there's a window between us where my VERYLOUDANDSCARY centrifuge is!), this one phleb named Melodie (she's freaking awesome, like a mother to me! :D) keeps praising me, too. She was all "wow, look at you, already working in Send Outs on your own! You're a fast learner," etc after two weeks of training. Mrrr. I feel happy at my job, like I'm someone, helping out everyone feels so great. At the end of the day I get a rush of giddy/happiness that I really can't place... I DUNNO MAYBE I'M A DORK. I LIKE MY JOB. End of story! //////

HM, WHAT ELSE. Oh HYEEEEE ASHI WHARZ THE COSPRAYU? I will gather cosplay materials during the week when I hang with facklemuffin. More about that later! 8D

Next week I'll reserve the hotel to visit noetma in July, for that protest in DC... never been to a protest. I'm sure it'll be ALL sorts of fun. ♥

Ah! APPARENTLY on the day of my last exams - my Bio101 exam - my "friend" Angelica (I met her my first semester in my old Bio105 class and we just clicked, talking about science together and I made her realize her love for Bio thus she changed to double major in Italian AND Bio at the end of the 1st semester) came up to me spouting how she wants to now major in CLS. I was SO excited to hear this, omg, you wouldn't even believe it! I would NOT shut up, even when the exam papers were being passed out, ah, I'm so excited!!! I felt like I "converted" someone with all my crazy ranting from my job and my classes, hehehe. Now it looks like we'll be taking more classes together (Well not Chemistry, she's already one semester ahead of me there;;;)!! I FINALLY GET A CLS BUDDY, WHOO! Er, I hope. I am slightly less alone now (?). Mrph. And I don't feel even the slightest bit nervous about competition. >->;;; FUNNY (and sad) THING IS, Ashi does not hang out with her URI "friends," not out of class, nope. Maybe it'll change next year? Maybe??? ;;; I just use the time on campus to study my brains out!;;;; I have no life, I assure you. It's 50% Yumee, 50% CLS. Lulz. T_T

Hmmm what else to talk about here? Ah, since Christmas I had mp3 player woes. I just recently got a Sansa 2 gig and it's marvelous. Of course it's a refurb and I got it for only $30 but it was worth it. I'm so happy to have a regular mp3 player again. AHHH. REJOICE!

SO UM. UMMM. YEAH. Pray I don't get any more cerebrospinal fluid specimen today at work. They are a) scary b) take forever to order and process and c) Dr. Martinez's way of torturing us laboratorians for the oddest, most out-of-blue testing. T_T Gahhh. Seriously, last time I barely had enough CC's. @__@;;; Guhh. I spent an HOUR trying to finish up handling it, too. An hour of OVERtime. *Sigh* Oh well. CSF isn't common so it's not like I handle it every day....hm. /whine.

Oh yeah as for MY oral surgery recovery - everything is fine - except for the gaping hole in my gums. I can see inside my gums. I can SEE INSIDE my GUMS. WHAT?? I hope this is some normal procedure for healing??? No? Oh crap. So I made an appointment with my surgeon to go look at it because I frankly don't think it's supposed to be healing while OPEN. The stitches fell out prematurely, is my guess.

OK I guess that's it for now. :D

FINISHED MY LAST EXAM TODAY. THE SEMESTER'S OVER. YAYAYAYAY. PARTAYYY TIEM! I just got done adding up my total score on it, and then I totaled my overall score in my Bio class.

If an A: 218-240 point range...and...

I got a 263.

Then: I feel great. So great. At least I got the A I wanted, huzzah. :B

My other classes I have no idea. Hoping for all A's. The only one I'm worried about is CS because that is also a 4 credit class, ick. I DON'T WANT A B. *WHINE* Grades go up sometime after May 15th. I HATE WAITING. GRRR. /obnoxious

Well, now I have time to relax and eat my vegetable kimchee rice medley and watch House. u_u Oh, and finish reading Time Traveler's Wife, which is a really good book. o-o

ALSO I pulled out my Child Saphir costume drawings. I might as well start on that cosplay, too. HEHE!!!!!!

...Scheduled at 10:45. Can't sleep. Can't eat or drink, either. Mrrr...

I feel weird.

Boy, I hope I don't panic last minute when they put the IV in me. T_T I really don't want to think about being passed out while being worked on, either. Ugh. Must have the will and courage to press on.

Even if it drains all my money.
Even if it means permanent nerve damage.
Even if it means losing the tooth all along.
Even if it means laughing my head off in pain afterwards.
Even if it means being nauseous to high hell from the nitrous oxide.
Even if it means being so incredibly groggy afterwards.

I gotta do it.
I gotta ...

:(

I conquered that stupid program that was taking me forever on the weekend. FINALLY. Take THAT, computer science class!

*insert evil laugh here*

So I'm "taking a break," figuratively. I now have this left on mah plate, then I'm done with my Freshmen year, WHEW! Today is the last day that classes meet. HOORAH!

Here's the run down (listen up, noetma):

-Finish website section of Final Project for CS class (sometime before this week is over, lulz)

Thursday: -Meet with partner for said class
-Drop off portfolio final to my Writing professor same day

Friday: -Drop car off at mechanic in the EARLY morning
-......Friday is also my surgey AAAHHHH T_T I'll have the weekend to recoop

NEXT WEEK...

Monday: I just make final adjustments for my CS project then submit it! 8D

Tuesday: my Communications final

Friday: my Bio final

AND THEN I'M DOOOOOOONE!

So what's next? AH.

WORK'S BEEN GOOD. I just started doing Send Outs last week; Send Outs is basically transferring specimen to other labs that are able to run the tests (ex: Specialty, Mayo, etc). This is my second week doing it.

I basically handle specimen to a higher level, doing pour offs (tube to tube WEARING GLOVES mind you), labeling, batch sheet printing, signing documents, making copies of papers, and making sure everything is accounted for. BASICALLY I run around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to find where specimen went. LOL.

Let me TELL you: It's a lot of detective work, it's very difficult at times, but I'm glad I'm learning what's what because it's very helpful to be submerged in lab science. SCREW GETTING MY FEET WET, I JUST CANNONBALL'D. LULZ. 8D Right now I'm still trying to grasp what needs to be spun down and what doesn't...and the types of tubes matter whether you can pour off or use a pipette. Boo.

So yes life is... interesting.... to say the least. o-o I'm glad school is almost out. I'M DEAD TIRED OF IT. I WANT ME TIME. *flails*

( Am I suicidal yet? :x )

It could be worse. I could be taking chem, organic chem, physics and math all at the same time. *shudder* SO yes, I didn't get into almost any of the classes I wanted. They were all closed. -_- Grrr! Even Japanese...hmph.

SO YEAH... ANATOMY LAB AT 8 AM MOST DEFINITELY CALLS FOR SLICING MYSELF BY ACCIDENT. URGH. I was going to have my Chem lab in the morning, too. Oh god, I'll blow up the building. Zzzzzzzz.

STUPID URI.

WHY DO I GET LAST PICK FOR CLASSES?

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT.
