Ramen house?

Lots of things have happened over the course of the last week. I got a job at Samurai Noodle and work with Hannako and Hunter. It's pretty much the best job I've ever had. It pays 9 dollars an hour, you get tips, and they encourage you when you have some downtime to sit down at a table and eat ramen. So far I've tried about 4 different kinds so far. They also pay double when you work holidays... which I am working both X-Mas Eve and New Year's Day. Everyone's pleasant to work with, even if they can be offensive, and even though the space is crowded, I like it. They're supposedly opening the new store over at the university district soon, and want me to work there and still possibly at the current international district location. In addition, I'm getting full time hours.

In other news, I'm also getting a lot of work at the bakery while I fill in for a vacationing coworker.

It's pretty great... because this month I'll be making somewhere around $2000. That will take care of all of my credit card debt and I'll still have quite a bit left over.

I passed space class with a 2.4! Much better than I had expected actually. I also got, I think, a 3.5 in Japanese Literature... I'm still waiting for my grade in Cultural Studies. I think this will bump my GPA down to a 3.4... but I could really care less. Honestly, I'm not going to be perfect. I commute from across the water, I work full time, and I go to school full time. Most of my free time was not spent doing homework, but relaxing. The fact that I have such decent grades is nothing shy from astonishing.

Also... in other news... the gal, Maddie Blaustein (actually, a transvestite interestingly enough) that voiced Meowth of Team Rocket from the first season all the way to the eighth season of the English dub of Pokemon passed away. It feels kind of weird. I'm actually pretty sad about it. I mean, I know Pokemon's no longer voiced by the same people anymore, but still... sad.

Anywho, I need to hop off this crazy thang.

OMG that is really sad. Rest in peace Meowth! You gave me a lot of good memories way back when!
