AMIIBO

Hi, guys!

It started out with me just wanting to get the Link Amiibo that I saw at Target.  He looked amazing!  Now just a few short months later I became addicted.   Here is my Amiibo story...

I had the Link Amiibo and I kept him up on a shelf, and I was pretty happy with just having him.  Then I heard the news that the Villager and Wii Fit Trainer Amiibo's were going to be discontinued.  So I wisely said to myself,  "I should go pick those up before they were gone.  I just saw them at Target a few months ago!"  Well, as you might've guessed they were sold out!  Oh, well! Then I heard from a YouTuber that Rosalina and Luma were going to be a Target exclusive.  Unfortunately, I heard this news the day after they came out.  I ran to Target and they were already sold out!  I still kept my eye out just in case they find one in the back or something.  Now, Rosalina is my favorite out of the Mario franchise princesses, so that one burned a little bit.  I just got it into my mind that I would never get any of the cool/ rare Amiibo figurines. Needless to say that I have a lot of commons and all of the Super Mario Line, except for silver Mario.  I saw a bunch silver Mario's at Best Buy, but I didn't have the funds to purchase.  Besides, I have the gold Mario and regular Mario from that line.  I wasn't going to get an overdraft fee for that one.

On May 29, 2015 wave 4 Amiibo's and Splatoon came out!  Since my funds were extremely limited I only grabbed what I really wanted.  I did a review of it on my YouTube channel.




I'm not going to get to the whole shortage ordeal,  I think that would be it's own entry.

College

Last week I got a call from my financial advisor, he said that he had some information for me.  It turns out that I qualified for a Academic Achievement scholarship!  I'm going to have to be a full time student, which will be interesting.  The good thing about this is that I'll be graduating in September, and I'll get a little over $5000.

Right now I'm taking another art history class. It's fun, but it can be a little boring doing research papers all the time.  We have made some original art when we made our Style Guides.

Christmas 2013 (Re written)

Happy New Year everybody! I can't believe that it's already 2014, what a year it was!  That's not the focus of this journal, but I will make one for it really soon.

I hope everybody had a joyous holiday season.  I had to work for Christmas. It was the busiest day I've ever worked, but looking back it was really neat to meet my residents families.  

I celebrated Christmas with my mom, sister and brother in law on Christmas Eve.  We had a lot of fun playing games, eating, and opening up presents.  I ended up getting some random clips through out the night.   Enjoy! 

( I made a mistake in editing, so here's the updated version of the Christmas video.)

Thanksgiving 2013

I know that this is really late, but I did upload this to YouTube a week or so ago.  We didn't really get to do much since I had to work.  Working holidays isn't that bad, but at the same time it's a little bit sad.

This video is mostly us playing MadGab.

April 9th- April 14th

April 9th-  I had of work today.  I actually did get some things done.  I finished making a diaper cake for a friend of my sister.  It turned out really nice.  As some of you know I live in Kansas and the weather is being crazy! The day started out really nice, it got up to 75 degrees.  Then in the evening it is icing and freezing outside!  Tomorrow I go back to work for the week.

April 10th-  Today I was the "kitchen helper" at work.  Nothing real exciting happened.  Despite the very icy, the roads were pretty much clear, so I wasn't late to work.
My dad died almost 3 years ago, my mom and I spent most of the evening looking for one of the emblems of his race car.  We are finally getting him a tombstone.  Today was just a boring day.  I'm hoping tomorrow is more eventful.  :)

April 11th-  Today I got up at 3:45am to get ready for work.  I actually had a great day.  My residents were all in great moods.  We exchanged stories, laughed, joked, and smiled.
I started week 4 in my concept development class,  I'm not sure I understand my assignment that is due tomorrow.
My sister came over tonight.  We went through some old photographs, and the memories flooded back. Especially our birthdays and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Now I'm getting ready to fall asleep.

April 12th-  Today I worked in the dish room for most of my 8 hours.  During lunchtime I was a hostess, which I like doing.  It's fun to interact with the residents without interruptions.  I even got one resident who was crying to cheer up.  I don't like seeing her so upset. :(
I had homework tonight, for concept development.  We had to draw up a template for a counter top, POP, display.  I never done anything like that before,  I'm nervous that I did it wrong.  I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

April 13th-  Happy Saturday!  This is my weekend off,  I honestly didn't do much.  I woke up at 5:30am because I forgot to turn off my darn alarm clock.  Then at about 8am I went back to sleep until 11:30 am, oops!  Since I basically had a lazy day, I played Super Mario 64 DS.  I really do enjoy that game even though I'm horrible at it.
I forgot to upload part of my homework last night, so I did achieve doing that.  I'm attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, online division.  I was tired of basically living paycheck to paycheck.  I'd like to be successful and be able to retire when the time comes.

April 14th-  I have to go back to work tomorrow.  Today I went shopping in Maize, KS.  I went to Target and Michaels.  I bought a dress at Target.  I don't normally wear dresses, but it was so cute.  I do need to purchase a black bra if I'm going to wear it in public, my white bra shows through.  (TMI, possibly?)  I just bought some random art supplies at Michaels, and I managed to spend a little under $6!
OMG!  I just downloaded Slender Man on my iPad,  he caught me before I got the first page.  I nearly pissed my pants, and promptly deleted it!  I'm a wuss, I admit it.
