Dissidia 012

Okay so it's 27 days away until the release of Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy and I'm SOOOOOO excited! I really loved the first one and CANNOT wait to play this one! They're including several new characters and I'm excited about all of 'em. My favorites so far of the new ones are Yuna, Laguna and Tifa. I am not sure about Lightning. I mean, she's badass and all but I haven't finished FFXIII yet because I'm stuck on the first Barthandelus battle. And I can just got ahead and say that I'm disappointed about Vaan making it in. I hated FFXII. It was just really long and boring for me, plus I didn't much care for the battle system and the character tree for that game was too complex. But, in case you hadn't guessed already, VII, VIII and X are my favorites of the series then IV and VI follow closely.

Can't wait for it. Hopefully I can manage to get into Gamestop and get it sometime soon after it's release!

Spring 2011 classes have begun

Now that Spring 2011 classes have begun, it's time to put down the videogame systems and really study as well as running from end to end of town getting my Nursing Program app together. I'm getting closer to finishing up my associates degree! lol I think I should've been doing 16 credits hours a semester versus 12 so that this couldve gone quicker but oh well.

Weight loss

A new year is about to start and a few things will be new for me like my job. So, being that this new job will be a good oppurtunity, I wanna take the oppurtunity and really lose some weight-okay, more than some, a lot- so I think it would be more effective to hold myself accountable by posting what I eat and what I do to work out and burn off calories on a daily basis. I think it would be good for me since I have lost a relatively miniscule amount thus far- 6 lbs. I'm gonna keep going. I post information like starting weight, my height, my initial goal weight, and things that have worked for me and not worked for me. RCC has a free gym so maybe if I can find the showers, I'll use one of my breaks to work out between classes. I can hopefully find more time for extracurricular excercise between work and classes. Shouldn't be much a problem, hopefully.

Been happy :)

I hope everyone had some great holidays. I hope everyone got to eat their favorite foods, open some awesome gifts and spend a few days just chillin with the family.

I had an awesome time at my aunt's house Christmas Eve. My uncle bought some games off the PSN for my PS3. Medal of Honor and Crazy Taxi to be more specific. My family is full of awesome cooks. I made cheescake, my aunt made red velvet cookies and my grandma made guacamole and some awesome chicken salad. For Christmas I got $150 bucks and used it for a new flat screen TV since my 13 inch tube TV didnt have very compatible resolution for my PS3. I got the comfiest sketcher boots and jeans from my mom. As well as some kick ass movies and an awesome cupcake design book from my best peep Sharlotte.

Tired of Wal-Mart

Okay, so after being promised flexibility and a managable schedule, to no suprise, Wal-Mart didn't deliver. Since November started, I've been working nothing but 10 hour days. They're forcing overtime on everyone and ignoring availability. Yeah, so the last half of my semester SUCKED. But it's all good because I stilled pulled off good grades. I'm sick of all of the ridiculous crap going on at Wal-Mart so I applied with Canadian County DHS. From what I've been told by a friend who works there, this sounds like a promising job. The pay is more than Wal-Mart plus, the hours aren't crazy. And best of all, I get to deal minimally with people. :D I was so angry about two complaints I got the other day.

1.) It's 6:45 A.M. and this guy wants fresh donuts but the bakery is still pumping out breads, cakes, and all sorts of other stuff so they tell the guy he'll have to wait. He grabs a box from the previous day and proceeds to bitch about the fact that they aren't discounted. Then he throws them back where he got them, gets a CSM and makes the CSM go into the bakery so he can have a fresh box. Then complains about every single person he had to deal with to the Grocery Department manager.

2.) Guy buys doritos and another item. He pays and gets his change and looks at his receipt and doesn't like the price of the doritos and because I can't refund him the difference, he cusses out everybody at Customer Service and runs out without his stuff. Real mature, huh?

Point being, I hope this lady calls me back because my short 6 month stint at Wal-Mart needs to end.

Final Fantasy XIII

I just got a new PS3 160gb slim. I am loving it! I saved and saved and it was worth it! I got Final Fantasy XIII and let me just say that so far it's been just amazing! Beautiful graphics and interesting characters and an very a mesmerizing storyline. I have to say that I love Tetsuya Nomura. I don't think I've been disappointed with a game hes been attached to! Gotta love him!

Long time no see!

Ha! It's been awhile.

Well, I'm a cog in the major corporate machine now! They love me thus far. No really, I got a really good evaluation as "Strong Performer". That makes me really happy because I like my extra dollar an hour. I make 8.25 now and I get another 1.00 an hour on Sundays! For a college girl that's not bad! I'm putting away enough in my savings to cover books. It's pretty awesome. I have my complaints of course but it's better than dealing with fast food!

Time for me to hit the sack so that I can be at work bright and early.
Night,
Katie

Sick of the Gosselins...

You know ever since Jon and Kate plus 8 came out the media has been freaking out about how they make their relationship work and now that they're divorced it's a circus. I'm really tired of seeing headlines everywhere regarding the former couple, it's over and done with so should be the frenzy! I really don't care if Jon has a new girlfriend and oh, now she's bisexual! Holy crap so what? She's gonna leave him for Kate? That'd be funny because Kate has more balls anyways. Geez the media needs to back off.

the 16th...

Today I watched TLC's special "650 lb Virgin". It really got me thinking about my health and how I would hate to get that big! I have been making an effort to walk for 30-45 minutes a day but now, I'm gonna add an hour of swimming, drinking more water and eating more salad and less junk. It was just really sad seeing how much people made fun of him and how when his mom died of lymphoma everyone was laughing as he made his way out. Since I've got another two months before my second year of college starts, I'd like to lose maybe 25-30 lbs then maybe another 30 lbs.

Hello!

If you read the "About Me", you'll know I'm a movie buff. My friends and I went to see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs last weekend and it was very good! I was laughing through the whole thing and it was the perfect length for the movie! I wasn't bored once during the film. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think that anyone, no matter what age, will enjoy it.
However, we also saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and that I have to say was absolutely awful. I liked the first half of it and then the movie began to slow and all the unnecessary fight and running scenes started to dull the movie and make it seem to drag on. I got tired of seeing the Autobots and Decepticons fight and eventually began to lose track of who was who. I'm not a Transformers fan but if they would have taken out maybe 30-45 minutes of useless fight scenes then it would have been a decent movie.
If you haven't seen either one, yet, I advise Ice Age. It was well worth the money and I will defintely be adding it to my DVD collection when it comes out.
