Need to stop forgetting about blogging

I need to turn to blogging more often...I don't know what happened. Last year, I posted a lot more, now even on LJ, I don't write as much...it's not that there's nothing to do, I just can't seem to sit down and type.

Still, before I realize, summer is coming to a close and now...I'm going to look back at the "goals" I had set for myself.

Got a job! Most of you guys already know, I should be working in Sam's mom's insurance office as an assistant of some sort. Hopefully I can do really well and expect a little more out of it. Kinda anxious for it to start, definitely.
So how did this turn out? Actually...pretty good. I got a nice little sum for working there, learned some basic working/office skills, got to sit in an office with air conditioning~

I made the choice to learn Japanese, so this summer, I'm still going to open the textbooks and review my Japanese, especially grammar. I want to be proficient! So I can to go to Japan again and get around without too much English and wild hand gestures...
This is the one...I didn't exactly get time to go over. But hmm seeing that I have about 10 days left before going back to SD, maybe I still have a chance to refresh everything.

...Which means, I must make a return to watching Jdramas.
But somehow...I did get around to watching two dramas while on vacation! Kimura Takuya's MR. BRAIN and Amani Yuki's BOSS. Both are under the mystery/detective genre, which I've realized I really like to watch now.

Learn more around the kitchen. Last summer I learned how to prepare food to be cooked, this time I hope to be able to at least cook up some simple dishes from my dad.
I did learn how to sauteed and certain rules for cooking certain foods...frying fish is a bit fun, but I'm still not used to hot oil jumping on to my skin.

In general though, still be of more help to my parents. (: I admit I don't like housework, but I need to be less lazy and spend more time with my family.
Haha this one I got done, in fact today I just cleaned all the blinds in my room, something that my mom has done every summer.

That's really it for now. Getting ready to get back into the swing of university life soon! (:
