I'm just failing everything lately...  
I got an email from that language program today. Turns out I didn't get accepted. :P 

Oh well, that's ok. Now I can get a job and work at home, and maybe take Chemistry during the summer. I think that's the best course of action anyway. Then I can save up money for when I DO get to go somewhere. (Preferably Japan but hey, I'm only hoping...)

So, besides the fact that I knew there was less than like a 20% chance that I would get accepted, I'm not going to lie... I'm kinda disappointed. I tried my best not to get hyped about it or anything but then, lol, how can you NOT? 

Therefore, I officially have the second thing that I've completely and utterly failed at this week. This SpringBreak isn't exactly going well in terms of succeeding in great things. Oh well, I still have my friends and family and I get to spend time with them and that's all that matters. 

Though, I still feel kinda feel down in a way for some reason. Not seriously, just like ... "Ugh, why?!" You know what I mean? With this second thing of defeat, other things in my life that are lacking, and have been lacking for some time, are becoming more apparent. I think its one of those psychological things where when one bad thing happens your mind tries to sneakily make it worse by making you remember other things, you know? Sigh. I'll get over it. 

Well. I'm going to try to go write a new chapter of one of my stories so people can comment on it and I can be proud of SOMETHING. 

Oh, I finished FFX2 today. But for some reason, when it got to the final ending clip scene, it started skipping and freezing. T___T I'm so upset. I cleaned the disc so I'm going to replay the end tomorrow and see if I can get it to work correctly. Why do I have such bad luck with videogame endings? >_> Literally, every video game I've ever finished has been marred. I'll even make a list (it won't be long lol)...

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - - - was rushed trying to get it back to the rental store before it closed. 
FInal Fantasy X - - - A friend was randomly over for the ending and constantly asking why everything was happening.
Kingdom Hearts I - - - Phone rang and was in other end of the house. Was annoying uncle.
Kingdom Hearts II - - - Little sister's friends were over and (literally) screaming outside my bedroom so I couldn't hear what was going on. 
The Longest Journey - - - That ending just plain SUCKED. And I haven't been able to get ahold of the sequel game. T_T 
Siberia - - - I can barely remember what that game was about... that gives you a hint about the ending. 
Final Fantasy X2 - - - Disc began skipping and freezing. Oh, and dad was making snide remarks about it. T_T 

Sigh. Oh well. 

Oh, the new Mucc CD " Shion " is like... amazing. I mean, I've always liked Mucc, but this has just blown me away. I can't stop listening to it. o_o I definitely suggest this CD if you're looking for something random to download. 

Ok, random post getting long. Byebye now. -_-/)

Quit.  
So. I quit Crew. Here's a basic explanation.

Lately, for the past four or so weeks, I have been really really sad/depressed. Not like -omg i want to kill myself- depressed. Just really unhappy. Every time I thought about coming home I'd get homesick and really sad. 

It got to the point where going to Crew wasn't really a fun or enjoyable activity anymore. It felt more like a chore. But since I've previously said over and over that I was going to make it to the end of the semester I didn't want to just give up or anything.

When I came home for the Easter weekend, I was extremely dreading going back for Spring Training. I really did not want to. I got practically sick just thinking about having to go back. Not sick in a disgusted throw up way, like in a my head hurts and i feel like I'm going to cry way. 

I figured if I could just work through SpringBreak I'd get over it and whatever. But when I went back, it just kept getting worse and worse, and all I could think was that I wanted to go home. I just really absolutely did not want to be there whatsoever. And to top it off I made a fool of myself and had a slight asthma attack on the run back to the police station. It was extremely embarrassing. 

We got an hour break and ... I dunno. Somewhere during that break between the calming down, trying to breathe again, and crying, I realized that forcing myself to do something that I don't enjoy anymore is pointless. If I don't enjoy it - I won't get any better at it. I just couldn't do it anymore. 

So at the night practice I talked to the Novice coach and explained it to him. I wasn't going to lie to them and say that my grades were slipping or whatever. (not that the people who quit under that reason were lying) I told him the truth, and he appreciated it. Then I got the novice girls team together and I told them. It was hard, and I was still upset and my body kept trying to start crying for some reason, but they really deserved for me to tell them face to face. Not hear it second hand from the coach when I just suddenly stopped showing up. 

So. That's it. I did NOT quit because it was hard. Don't get me wrong, it is a hell of a workout, but thats not it. If I still enjoyed it and it was hard, I would just work harder. But it had become something that wasn't ... good for me. 

Part of me feels really disappointed in myself. Because I kept saying I would make it to the end of the semester. And I feel like I let the other girls down. And because of this that part of me also expects everyone to look at me and be like "Ugh E's a quitter." or something. When I'm not.

The other part of me feels really relieved, and knows that I did what was right for me. I feel more at peace and not so incredibly stressed-out/depressed or whatever. And I am really, really, really glad to be home. 

So. I know not a lot of people read this but... this is what happened, and why. This is just me, being honest. I don't know why I'm sounding so dramatic right now. But... it really is just me. I need to know my limitations and I need to do what's best for me when the situation calls for it. So. There you have it. 

Now I'm back home, absolutely exhausted, and ready for bed. So goodnight. I think writing this out has just allowed me to create a better peace about it, and get it all straight in my mind so I won't worry. I feel better. 

PS: If I do get to go to Korea- I'll let you know. And if you want something, I won't mind looking for it for you. But no promises. And I didn't say that if I got accepted I wouldn't go - I probably would. But the probablity I actually get accepted is rather low. So we'll see.

I don't know...  

So I got the Merry mood theme working. Yay! I'm happy. It only took forever to set up. Now my lj is officially all Merry-fied. Yes.

I don't know what to talk about. The last few posts have been very ugh so.. I'm going to try to cover the stuff that's been happening lately. 

Well. Last Tuesday Crew was cancelled for the weather, so I went to the Paintball Wars the SAB was putting on because my roommate is on SAB and she was working it. I went in Paintable clothes just in case, but I really didn't want to get painted. But the other novice girls were there and they saw me and came over and were like "Oh E you look sooo unpainted..."

So I realized I had two choices: 
1 - Say no and have even more disrest be born in the boat ... or
2- Let them attack me and have team bonding.

So being the wonderful person that I am, I let them attack me. The really sad thing is that since then I've actually noticed a difference in their attitudes towards me. Isn't that sad? 

Anyway. When they were attacking me again later, they all had the squishy balls with paint, and I had nothing. So I ran and dipped my hands in the buckets of paint then turned around and yelled "I may  not have any balls but I have wet fingers!!!"

...

Yeah. Good job. I lose.

Anyway. This week is Spring Break. And we're going to have training. I really really really really really really really really really don't want to go. I can't express to you how much I don't want to go. Every time I think about having to back tomorrow I get really sad and upset. Not upset maybe. Oh, forget it. I give up.

I just really want to stay home for a while. Is that so bad? 

Anyway. I'm supposed to find out if I got accepted to go to Korea this summer or not near the end of March. The bad part is that half of me is hoping I didn't get accepted. I know I probably didn't, so I shouldn't have too much to worry about. It's not that I wouldn't go... I don't know. UGH. FORGET THIS TOO.

I can't talk about anything without sounding like I'm trying to feel constantly sorry for myself and its pissing me off. I have a headache and I don't feel well so I'm just going to go now. Goodnight.

Persona -Trinity Soul-  

Ok so... I've been watching Persona Trinity Soul. And it is like so freaking AWESOME. No one else is really watching it (I don't think), so I don't really have anyone to freak out with about it. >___<

But its soooo cool. I don't even know why I like it so much. Cause... its not even like my typical type of anime. But its SO GOOD. >_< Gut! Es ist gut! (German for 'it is good')

Speaking of German, I had my test today. And I did really well on it! :D I'm so proud of myself. I got a 93, which is an A, so I'm really happy. I'm feeling more and more accomplished. 

In other news, I've been having strange feelings lately. That I can't really... pinpoint I guess. It's complicated. Nevermind.

Crew is still going well. We get to start rowing next week! I'm kinda worried though, cause once you get in the water you cant stop rowing till you redock... and I can't go very fast for very long like a lot of the other girls. Maybe I just need to quit before making a fool of myself. I dunno. 

I finished my application to go to Korea. I don't know why I'll find out if I get accepted though. Although, honestly, I've never been so disappointed in an application before. I'm doubtful of getting it. The reasons being: 1- I'm a freshman. 2- I had no Koran experience to talk about whatsoever. 3- My GPA isn't exactly the highest thanks to Chemistry last semester. I'm sure there are other reasons, but... I'm still hoping. Although a part of my mind keeps thinking that I may not even be ready to go. Therefore, if I don't get accepted, I won't be upset. I'll just take it as a sign that I need to wait just a bit longer before embarking across the world.

Anyway. I need to go to bed. I have to get up in the morning to go urg with the assistant coach and then the girls and I are going to go to Royal Tea for lunch! I'm excited. I haven't been there since almost Halloween I think. o_o 

... I have a lot of homework I need to do this weekend. >_> When am I gonna have time to just relax? T-T

UGH  

So I pretty much just failed my second German Quiz. I completely forgot all the family titles. My professor is going to think I'm an idiot.

And I woke up feeling extremely unwell this morning. If I still feel this way later this evening I'm not going to Crew. I have a lot of work anyway. 

I'm getting the feeling this isn't going to be a good week. 

So much for this being a happy journal. I'll try not to make angsting a normal thing in my entires. Promise. Dont' hold me too tightly to that though. Sigh. 

Oh, I wrote those essays for the Korean thing but they suck. I'm supposed to show them to Davina (our deen) today, but... I hate having people read stuff I write. I really really hate it. At least in front of me. When I write my stories its fine cause I don't know when people sit down to read them and stuff. And I like comments. But on papers the only things that tend to get pointed out are the bad or wrong things. Ugh. 

I'm hungry.

Round Two...  

 So. Everyone pretty much got drunk again tonight. J, Z, and myself were the only sober ones. Again. And... thankfully no one really got sick as bad as last time but everyone was SUPER crazy.

I would go into detail but I just really dont feel like it. I think I'm having another one of those random bouts that I just have to get through. Ugh, ok this is going to sound so self dramatizing and I really dont mean it that way. But the majority of my life I've always had someone telling me what was wrong with me. Like I was too fat, not pretty enough, not sexy/appealing, too smart, the bookworm, antisocial, depressed, wore stupid clothing, etc etc. Whether it was super rude bully like people at school, the pretty girls, or just certain people at home... there's always kinda been someone. 

Now, all of a sudden, there's no one doing that any more. And it is just blowing my subconcious crazy that its possible for people to just like me. I don't know why. So I keep jumping to these idiotic conclusions that people don't like me, but then I find out they actually think really highly of me and just... I dunno. It makes me tired. 

Ugh. So now that you all think I feel sorry for myself (which I dont) or whatnot, I'm gonna go to bed. I'll talk about tonight later. Maybe tomorrow. Hopefully by then I'll have some Youtube videos as evidence to go along with the story. Goodnight.

[Hmm... this is supposed to be a happy journal. I guess I should say something happy before leaving so it meets the quota...]

I'm applying to go to Korea for an Intensive Language Program over the summer. The chances i'll get accepted are slim, but I'm applying anyway. I hope I get to do it. And Crew is going ok. Not quite so sore anymore, but I'm still just a little bit worried about balancing working out and the school work. I'm gonna have to just give the two week trial a go. -nod- And I'm not sure if I even have practice tomorrow... Hm.

Does this count? It better because I'm exhausted and I want to go to bed. So Good Night. <3
