Another one of those sparse updates

As always, I fail to update this blog. Part of the reason why is because I'm doing something else onling (and I only made a blogger account to follow my favorite bara artists). So yeah, I'm probably jacking off more than I am making posts. But if I had to give a distribution of where my time is spent online:

Facebook: following news feed and playing games (mostly YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!, the best trivia game ever)
Adam4adam: I usually just login to chat and see if I have any new messages. That's about it, since I found my boyfriend on there months ago sometime last fall.
boards.barachan.org: Who doesn't lurk on the board? Strangely, I mostly lurk on the Discussion thread to see if there's any new topics that I find interesting enough to reply to.
YouTube: Lately, it's to watch episodes of the J-drama "Liar Game"
MangaFox: So I could read the manga "Liar Game", which unfortunately I recently just finished reading all the chapters out as of now.
Crunchyroll.com: So I can watch "Attack on Titan", which is hot right now.
Tumblr.com: Because I find it easier to follow people on their than I do on here. Blogger loads kinda slow for me, but it's been awhile since I've checked out everyone's new work, including MonkeyGoGo, who always draws some good artwork consistently.
Webcourses2c.instructure.com: My university's online portal for classes. It's a necessity.
stocktrak.com: I recently used it for one class (Financial Markets) where I got to learn about different types of investments and how to create a diverse investment portfolio to minimize risk, but create stable, long-term returns. I don't understand it some of it too well yet, but it's interesting. Oh and, aside from my Aerospace Engineering major, I'm working on a Finance minor since I unfortunately have to be in college longer than I'd like to be, because my university offers a lot of upper level courses once a year, which screws everything up for students who fail or withdraw from harder classes and have to wait an entire year just to retake them. I'd move on, but with the way pre-requisites are lined up, it's impossible.

This summer, I'm taking only Finance classes for my minor. So far, an A and a B for two classes I took already. The B could've been an A, but I missed getting an A by one question on my last exam, so I'm kinda pissed about the narrow margin. Grades haven't officially come out yet, so I'll see whether or not my professor curves. I doubt it though, since his syllabus stated he doesn't do plus/minus grades or curving of any kind. His justification is because he provides extra credit opportunities.

Techinically, next Fall/Spring will be my last year of college, and I intend to try my hardest. I just wanna fucking graduate and quit throwing money away towards housing. I do have a work-study job on campus, but it's a part-time job, doesn't pay much either, since my supervisor doesn't come up with my work for me to do, and I'm too much of a wuss to ask if I could just get paid for showing up and waiting until work gets in. Currently, I took out $2,750 in students loans, but that's chump change compared to other people who have ballooning student loan debts. I lucked out, but it is getting harder every year to avoid taking out loans. I just hope I get a job after I graduate college. That's why this summer, I ought to make it a priority to contact a place I had an internship at last summer, just to give an update, and hope they didn't forget about me. My supervisor at that place told me they like to rehire their interns. Hope I get lucky then. And I ordered all my engineering textbooks for next fall and I'm gonna start studying for those hard classes so I don't have to panic as much in the Fall when I start Senior Design.
