Damn, they changed the bus schedule! :(

I just check the bus schedules and they've changed the times! And they've cut down on the frequency of buses we get! So not fair at all! :(

In terms of a 9:30 AM class, at least that hasn't changed since I still have a bus at 8:55 and 9:05. I normally take the 8:55 but if that's early, at least I'll still have the 9:05 bus that will get me to campus just in time for class.

But for my 11 AM classes (first time I've ever started that late!!! ^^ So happy about the extra sleep!), I have to take the 10:20 bus to get me to campus at 10:32. I'm going to be so early for classes! Not too happy about that. The next bus isn't until 10:45 which gets me to campus at 10:57 which is a bit close for me... I don't like not having that cushion to be late in because you never really know about NYC traffic. Last semester, there's a 10:25, 10:35 and 10:45 which could have gotten me to classes early enough and have enough time to either be late or be early... I mean they went from six buses in between 10 AM and 11 AM to only two! Two! That's ridiculous! Not happy about that, not happy about that at all...

So tomorrow I just have Japanese at 11 AM. It's at Goddard D and while I kinda know where Goddard is, I'm not quite sure how to get into the classrooms. I mean I know it's on the side, it's not where the dorm is, and I think the entrance is by Starbucks but since I've never had a class there before, I've never really noticed or took the time to even listen too intently to my friends who've had classes there before. People around me have talked about it and how to get to those classrooms but I just never paid it much mind... :\

Now, I have a class there... Joy. Hopefully I won't be too lost trying to find the classroom. And it's my only class! ^^ I am so incredibly happy about that! I'm going to work afterwards though. And normally, I would have lab but it doesn't start for another week so this week, no lab, no recitation so one class on Tuesday and Thursday! I don't particularly want to go to work but I have to. :\

I have to figure out where I am with work though. I emailed Cora last night and she hasn't responded to me. I would love to stick with Mr. Ma and Mr. Friedland (Friedland definitely because the man loves me so it's a very happy working situation) and I like tutoring in Chem because I understand Chem. And then I have afterschool work. This week, I should make $142.50 which is more than I usually make working three days. I want to work four days (Monday as well) so I should be making $157.50 which is also a lot more than I usually make in any sort of week. I'll be working close to 16 hours a week -- oh my god, I hope I can handle it. I definitely need the money. And since NYU pays biweekly, I should be looking at a check of $300! Oh my god, $300! I've never made that much. And I should be normally making $315! I'm so excited about all this money coming in because last semester I went kinda crazy with spending money. This semester I want to save up a bit and I want to bulk my checking account and not worry so much if I can afford certain things.

Okay, now on roommate issues.

So I met my new roommate, she's really nice... She has the personality that I'm not comfortable with since she seems very West Coast-y. I like her a lot. She hates the dorm though and has applied for a transfer. Since I did the same, I don't blame her. We have completely opposite schedules... I like to study late, she likes to sleep when it's late. She's a morning person. I don't usually have mornings because I sleep through them (and usually through lunch and part of the afternoon). It's going to be interesting since she says she sleep at 11... :\ I will try to sleep earlier, at least for the next three weeks since I think she's going to be leaving at the end of that. Apparently her friend who lives two floors down, who she went to school with and has lived with before, has a roommate who is planning to move off campus so she wants to move in with her. So I might have a room to myself again. I'm not hoping too much but you really can't not be excited about having a room to yourself. *shrugs* If it doesn't happen, that's okay, I'll deal. It's not like it's never happened to me before so... I'm a pretty easy going, easily adaptable person (after I have my initial freak out of course) so it's not too big of a deal for me to accept things.

So tomorrow classes. I should probably review my Japanese but like my Physics, I really don't want to. :\ I don't even know who I have tomorrow. If it's Nonaka, then I really don't know anything about her. If it's that Indian chick who can't pronounce or spell her name (Hulkyrar or something like that?), then I'll just end up wanting to cry and run. If it's Matsushima, I'll be happy and hopefully Hanawa is the same this semester as she was last because that woman mellowed out and is bearable now.

I'm not too worried about this semester of classes. Physics will be hard as always. Japanese will probably make me want to cry. But the other two classes, not so much. Macroeconomics will hopefully be fun and easy or at least easy and the Intro to Ecology one will hopefully not make me hate nature even more than I do now.

Tomorrow I need to go early to campus and buy books, notebooks, stuff like that... And then Japanese which will hopefully go quickly and then work which hopefully won't be awkward painful. Then I get to brace myself for Physics. *sigh* Classes start again. I feel so not excited at all.

Oh, in other news, I don't have Kimeru's GALAXY KISS album! I'm so incredibly bummed! It didn't get to me before I left home and I had it mailed there because I thought I would still be there when it get it arrives. I'm so sad... T_T I had to download the album, something I haven't done in AGES because I always buy Kimeru's album! It's not labeled the way I like it, it's not tagged the way I like it, it doesn't even have the track numbers! I can't edit track numbers so it's all messed up. I'm not happy. My sister is going home sometime this month and I want her to get it out of the mailbox and mail it to me. Or just rip it and send me the tracks. Anything. I mean it's not even ripped at 320 kbps, a rate I rip all my CDs in. I'm not a happy girl right now. Kimeru, oh, Kimeru... T_T

Okay, I think I'm going to make some pasta. I bought groceries so now I have food and I can make dinner. Yay! ^^ I didn't have anything last night so I had some candy and I ate some of the food that my father gave to me to take back (since they all know I'll starve without it). And today, I had to go out with no lunch... It was all very sad. I had so much with me that I went faint when I got back to the dorm. But when I got back, I made myself a turkey sandwich. I'm really starting to like turkey. Who would have thought? Me and turkey? Right. But it's yummy and I'm tempted to make another sandwich but I should really make myself food. I do want something substantial. Okay, making chicken alfredo pasta tonight! Hopefully my roommate won't freak at the large amount of food I make and eat. :\

Hana Yori Dango 2

I finally got off my ass and watched the first episode of HYD 2 today. After some prompting from Diana-chan, I remembered that I had downloaded SAR's hardsub of it and that I hadn't watched it yet.

It's good, it's really good. It's like the first series had never ended and we've jumped right back into the story and the world that it's based in. It's really nostalgic and it's wonderful.

I have to say I'm sorry to see Junpei leave. People have said he has a weird smile and while I don't buy that he's really all that "mysterious," I do think he's pretty cool. I like him as his "cool" self and when he's trying to be plain and geeky. I think I might actually prefer his geeky self because I've always been about hair and glasses and he pulled them both off pretty well. I had hoped he be a rival, trying to win Makino over but I guess it wasn't to be since he turned out to be evil and all. But I don't know if it's just me or not, but he reminds me of a lesser Shirota Yuu. He just has that look to him that I can't help but think of Shirota every time I see him.

And this whole thing with Rui... *makes a face* It's not like I didn't expect it since I think they did this in the manga as well. Along with the fiancee thing. That was extremely predictable but still, I know it ends well since I vaguely remember a boat and her leaving and all that. Still, this season looks to be pretty messy, something I don't particularly like in my shows so... I just want to get to the end already. I already can see myself wrought over this show as I follow it from week to week.

And oh my god, I didn't think I would like the opening theme from Arashi that much. I had downloaded the radio rip of it a while ago and I wasn't too impressed but it grew on me as I watched it with the visuals. I guess that's normal for me because this always happens.

I absolutely adore the song that is playing right after Makino confesses to Doumiyouji's sister (can't remember her name for the life of me). It's the one that continues through Makino's reminiscing about the past with her and Doumiyouji... That woman has such a deep voice and that part where she's singing with it always gets me. I wonder if this is the ending theme? I totally love it and I so can't wait until it's released somewhere. I think it's Utada Hikaru, isn't it? And after listening to it over and over, I'm guessing the song is Flavor of Life? Or Love?

And during the reminiscing part, I totally want to watch the old episodes of HYD1 again. There were some really great moments last season... *sigh* I so can't wait for the next episode now. This new girl promises to be trouble and I don't like it one bit. The fast it resolves (though I suspect it'll take until the end of this season), the happier I'll be.

edit x1: Aha! It was called Flavour of Life as I guessed it might have been! And it was an Utada Hikaru song! I had no idea she could do such a deep voice! It makes me wonder if I shouldn't be trying out her songs since this is amazing!

And I managed to find the PV rip of it! It's not coming out until the 28th of Feburary so I have a bit to wait but the PV is out and someone ripped the mp3. And I have it! ^^ I am definitely listening to it over and over again right now. Totally in love with this song!
