Confessions of A Working Girl

My brother...uh, what did I say his fake name for this blog was...? Oh, "Ido". The one that's 19. He owns the game Assassins Creed III. And my 18 year old brother, "Yoi" (Where the heck did I come up with these names??? :roll:) has an xbox that is currently downstairs. He said I could use his xbox, and Ido said I could use his game. So I started playing today. I got stuck near the beginning, of course. I pressed every button and combination of buttons that I could think of, but nothing worked. So I called Ido, who is currently at school. He had no idea what I should do to get past that part in the game.  Then I tried calling Yoi, who said that he had heard of others having this problem. But he didn't really know how to get past it either. It was ten year old "Dori" who was watching me play, that suggested what I could do. And it worked! Go figure. ^_^

In other news, although I have finished three weeks of working at the preschool, I have one more left--they asked me to come back all this week. Of course I said yes, since that means five days of guaranteed work over five days of "maybe I might get called". Which reminds me...I still need to finish my application to Michaels. I figured that I could try to get hired to work there part time, after school hours. 

I'm practicing Japanese by translating a comic book. It's a comic book that I wouldn't have ever read if I wasn't so determined to translate it. See, I know just enough Japanese that reading is frustrating. I get most of it, and some phrases and words automatically translate in my head, but then there is also a lot that I don't know at all!
