Well I've got big news! I've quit my job. I gave my two weeks notice, but those jerks didn't even honor that. My last day was suppose to be October 16th it ended up being this past friday. I know this is what I wanted (hence the quitting in the first place) but it just seems rude for them to not even let me finish my two weeks. I expected some damn professional courtesy, guess that was too much for me to expect even from them. Still after 2 years of working there. I'm finally glad I'm out.

I'm worried, scared, nervous, but above all for the very first time in a long time I feel truly FREE.

Need to start looking for a new job, then. *le sigh*

Meanwhile I've managed to catch up to the latest supernatural episodes up to season 5. Man I'm hardcore addicted. This show rocks so much! And speaking of such, can anyone direct me to a Supernatural mood theme? Or a community of mood themes? Think it's time for a change.

Also check out the new Doctor Who logo. Thoughts? It's clever, but I'm not too sure how I feel about it yet. I'm still waiting for 11th's first episode to judge. lol.

Well I've finished season 3 of Supernatural, I now officially consider myself a fan! Yay, I cannot believe I was missing out on such an amazing show! I've just got to say I'm totally head over heels in love with Sam and Dean. I cried so much when Sammy died! Not just cuz *ahem* he died, but also seeing Dean's pain was heartbreaking. :(

Srsly tho I spent all my money buying the damn seasons now I'm broke. Boo! But since I can't wait for payday to watch Season 4 I'll just patiently wait for it do download. :)

Off to bed now, bye bye!

P.S: We were talking about Hamlet today in my Literature class and now I feel like watching the Dr. Who episode with Shakespeare. Idk why I just randomly decided to share that.

*sniffles* So I've been away cause I've been sick as a dog. I've practically masted on how to breathe through my mouth only. :(

Slowly recuperating though. I've got some exciting news my French teacher asked me the other day if I could help an exchange student from Bordeaux adjust a bit to life here. She basically told me that she needed someone to talk to, because she really didn't get a warm welcome from other students here which is a shame. But I was more than glad to obligue. And get this her name is AmeliƩ, and she's really nice and very European, lol. Beautiful light brown hair, blue eyes, big smile, and a lovely french accent. We spent about an hour just talking about France how different the school systems are, and just trying to make her feel comfortable. Although I kinda wanted to practice my French it seems like she wanted to practice her English so we mostly spoke in English. I was trying to talk slow to so she could understand, lol, even though she said I still talked fast. :P

Other than that finally saw the True Blood finale, and I've got to say I was not impressed. :( Expected a bigger cliffhanger, this just seemed like a filler episode. But I guess when I go back to rewatch all the series they will all just flow seamlessly.

Also got started on Season 2 of Supernatural. :) Man I'm totally addicted to this show. I've got to say I loved Jensen in Dark Angel but I love him more as Dean Winchester ♥.

Instead of staying at school during my break I'm going to run home and continue watching S2 I'm one my 3rd disc.

Well my french class went well, speaking mostly only in french during the class which was of course to be expected. But guess I still need to get into the swing of things yesterday I was so tired I went to bed at nine! Forgot how tiring it is to drive half an hour and back to school, not just physically but also mentally. Today I had Ballet, Political Science, British Literature and Astronomy. Ballet was so strange I felt completely out of place yet totally at ease, idk hopefully I can pick up a couple of things. I've still got to go buy my ballet shoes, think I'm gonna do that tomorrow. My professor for my politically science class is hilarious and a real class act, very entertaining and informative. And my Brit Lit class was canceled so I've decided to burn sometime in the library before having lunch with my friend.

Ugh, I'm trying to keep my energy up because I'm going to have a long day today. Woke up at 6 drove to school, have classes until 2:25 then I work from 3 to 8 but have a meeting at work from 815 till approximately 930. My only sole consolation is that yesterday I managed to finish downloading Sunday's True Blood episode, yay! Think I can spare an hour for that. lol

Also must remember to buy myself a planer, to be more organized and I think I'm going to go back to working out regularly at the gym. I just want to be in a better shape since I'm taking this ballet class. Almost forgot to mention I wanted Inglourious Basterds on Saturday and I absolutely loved it! I think Melanie Laurent and Christoph Waltz are my two new loves!

Possibly last free Sunday before school starts! First day of classes is tomorrow and my first class is french class. Kinda nervous because I think the teacher will ask us how our summer was and since it's the second level of beginner's french more than likely we'll only converse in french. Guess I'm just intimidated due to lack of practice this summer.

Also True Blood tonight, yay! So excited!! Can't hardly wait for tonight, but meanwhile to keep myself occupied yesterday I bought Season 1 of Supernatural, I'm so friggin' excited to start watching since A) I already love Jensen B) I love fiction and the supernatural and C) This video. Heheheh, srsly <3 that man!


OMG yesterday I was so glad my iPod was fully charged because I forgot my house keys and ended up waiting 3 hours in my car for my parent's to get home! Since I didn't want to waste gas by having the car on with the radio/AC I just settled for listening to my iPod. I was so happy that I had all the Beatles' albums and also Bob Dylan too, well not all Bob Dylan but "Best of" at least. Really kept me occupied, think my new favorite song of the moment is "Blackbird". Which is sung by Evan Rachael Wood in Across the Universe, who also happens to appear as the Queen tonight on True Blood! See everything is relatable to True Blood! Tehehehe.

Ooh, also managed to watch Generation Kill. Which btw is totally AWESOME! I got to admit the first episode didn't really grab me, but I kept watching nonetheless and because really involved in it. Now I kinda wish it was longer. But if anybody is thinking of watching it, I highly recommend it!

Also quick question does anybody know when the new Doctor Who episode will air?

Just got back from a nice vacation in New England. Went to visit my friend Yuri who used to live in Connecticut and now lives in Texas but both our vacations (2 weeks off from work) just happened to be in sync. So I went over to visit her in Connecticut. It was lovely we went to Boston and New York. Got to see Times Square, Chinatown, the Boston Harbor, and Quincy Market. :)

I'm so glad this vacation went well I needed this so much, as you guys know I haven't been updating alot if any due to work, so I was determined to get the most out of my time off. Now I feel completely rested and rejuvenated.

Also started taking my Reading List more seriously and have finished reading the Reader by Bernhard Schlink, which the movie is brilliant, y'all really need to check it out. And I'm in the middle of reading the Time Traveler's Wife. My friend gave me that book for my birthday so we've been reading it together. So excited since the movie is out already, but IDK if I'll like it since it's tedious enough to get through the book. I'm determined to finish it and maybe the end product will make me love the book itself, but as of now seems to me I'm just reading it as a task rather than hobby.

Hope to find you guys well! ♥

OMG I'm so excited I just bought this and I'm dying to read it. Think I will start this weekend. Words cannot describe how much I love this woman! Also I'm taking a French class this semester and its going really well. I'm learning tons and I think my pronounciation and overall sentence structure is getting better. Also I feel like a total smarty pants since I already took 3 years of french in high school, and this is beginning french level 1. I'm always the one with the answers, lol.

Its just that since it is my minor I want to take all the French classes at college level, which means working on the basics, besides I've been out of high school for 3 yrs going on 4. There's no way I'd remember everything. Although I do love saying grapefruit in french, pamplemousse.

Oh and I once again decided to re-attempt my shot and completing my book list. See here. I bought The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and Hamlet by Shakespeare. Yes believe it or not I've never read Hamlet. :( I'm really excited to read The Picture of Dorian Gray the description is so intriguing. Idk, I'll read that after the Beetle and the Bard.

Hope all is well with you all!

Au revoir! Mes amis!

P.S: Also got bunch of new CD's by Razorlight, Babyshambles, and the White Stripes. Lol, put them in order by favorites so far.

Merry Christmas!

Remember that hot chocolate yesterday? Well I drank it too hot and when I went to bed I spent the whole night breathing in the cold air and I woke up with a sore throat in the morning. Hence now in the evening it has progressed towards a slight fever *sigh*. Well Christmas was good anyways, we had a delicious turkey luncheon and then I came home to watch Sex and the City (my sis gave me the complete series :) ).

Waiting for the Doctor Who Christmas special to load! I'm so excited! :)
