Crap on my Head

None of that stuff I advertised last time. Soon, though, I expect.

Instead, I'm going to take the chance to talk about some stuff.

1st thing: Kinda little by comparison.
Our camp director's daughter owned a dog, an adorable yellow lab-looking mutt named Promise, who she could not keep when she got an apartment in Eau Claire. Logically, this dog was given to our camp director, where she spends most all her time chained to a tree by his house.

I'm pissed. This dog sulks around with its tail so far between its legs, its shoulders hunched, and cowers whenever anyone comes near it. All the body language reads neglected/ignored/abused animal, and I'm ready to go find this girl and tear into her for it. Dogs, along with all other pets, deserve to actually be LOVED AND CARED FOR, GODDAMNIT! If you don't want to put in that work, give the animal to someone who actually does. Jesus Christ!

2nd thing: Ready to get going
I am stagnant. I need to get back into class damn fast. The big issues on my mind are all about what I'm doing after May, when I graduate (hopefully.) However, in order to know if I'm going to Grad School, I need to apply (by December), for which I must take the GRE (in October), for which I have to pay $140 to register. I'll be able to do that soon. Alright. Groovy. Also, I need to get on the horn with the right folks regarding the JET application and get that done, letters and all.

Being up here in the boonies gives me ample time to plan for these things, but I can't actually DO ANYTHING about it. I hate that feeling. I'm ready to be doing, to be taking an active role in moving forward with my life, and the next few weeks are not that. It's annoying.

Granted, it could be worse. I'm just being impatient. It all shall come in time, but I am ready to get moving right about nowish.

3rd thing:
Shopping around to get a sense of the price for a plane ticket to Japan (aiming to visit in March for the time being, lest things and plans change).
Just to get to the damn country, and not even the place I need to end up:
Minimum cost = $850ish, and that's on the low end (not to mention rare fares to find)
LeCrapzors.

Time to get saving.



Alright, time for me to get back to camp and back to the grind. I'll definitely be giving this one a Week in Review and even a Summer in Review. Look forward to it.

Personal note:
I hope you're okay, however it is you may be reading this. I miss you.
