blah blah blah...Was supposed to be a casual entry but turned out to be serious. Sorry for the boring entry.

Another random blog.

I moved to a new house! it's a townhouse, but has a LOT more stairs than the Murphy townhouse. I feel like I get my exercise done for the day going up and down the stairs.

This morning, I finished the leftover lasagna from Trader Joe's that I've been savoring for 4 days :)

I also had rice in the rice cooker that's been in there for about 2 and a half days...it smelled a lil funny....but not too funny...I risked myself and ate some before I threw the rest away. We'll see how that goes with my tummy in an hour or so :P

I'm going to portland for this weekend! shoppingggg~~~whohooooo~. First train ride from seattle! I'm excited to feel like I'm going to Hogwarts HAHAH! I'm going to attempt to finish the Other Boelyn Girl on that train ride so I can start with a new book :D Any book suggestions?

It's July and I still haven't heard from the government if i can stay here. I want to unpack things from the boxes, but I haven't been able to because a) I have a small ass closet so b) I need to get an external closet to accomodate all my clothes, accessories etc. etc. and c) I feel like I shouldn't fully unpack things b/c I REALLYR REALLY might get deported if I don't hear back from them by August 10th. I feel like i'm 90% sure that they will accept me, but I don't want to get my hopes up JUST YET. And even if they're letting me stay, if they dont' tell me by August 10th, I gotta leave Seattle for a lil while anyway until I hear back from them. Hopefully if I do have to go back to Japan on August 10th, they'll tell me quick and they'll ALSO tell me that I'm ALLOWED to stay, so that I can come back, not to pack the rest of my shit to send it to Japan but to come back and work here, hang with my friends, and decorate my new room (with a help from Elaine?? LOL).

IF i do get to stay, I have some mission to accomplish in Seattle. I WILL get a driver's license and look into getting a car (although i probably can't do this until I work a bit more...in a year or so? haha hopefully...) I also want to start taking classes to get a higher education. I mean..I like what I do now at the chem dep. place, but i can't do that forever. I can't do entry level jobs forever. I'm starting to feel a just a lil bit on the down side cuz i feel like all I can do is answer phone calls (i mean..i do a lot more than that, but.....T.T)

But what I will be doing a month from now and on all will be determined by this stupid visa crap. Blah. It's very nerve wrecking if I think about it too much. I think that's y I don't like it when ppl question me about this visa status. It reminds me of the fact that I really might have to change my lifestyle 360 degrees---to go another country, throw away my plans and goals, and just...starting all over, when I finally found some stability here in Seattle (friends, home, jobs, connections, etc. etc.)

Sighhhh. Ok, I need to finish up this blog. On top of it getting depressing, I'm on Pandora and it's now playing "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera. Making me depressed. Positive energy. ok. Bye!
