I finally have regular income! 
I've just been on occasional work for my dad for about half a year or so, and since I leave school in 4 weeks I am getting more work. It's nothing amazing, $15NZ an hour I'm told (Minimum wage). When I leave school I'll be having lots to do, until I leave though it's just about 4 hours a week maybe. Will probably be most time (not part time but not quite full time) work. So I'll probably make about 300 or so a week? A bit more. I'll have to see. Other than that, today has been quite lame, it's been raining, so I've not really had much to do. And in my boredom I finally made the decision to buy an XBox 360 when I can.

Well had a great day today. My work do charity work in the local community and we have Dogs Trust near so I've spent 5 hours volunteering to help out. Helped tidy a barn full of stuff they take to fairs and fates across the county and walked a dog.
A day well spent.

Yay!
I volunteered as well, at a free breakfast event.
Hundreds of grilled cheeses.
Won 3 motorcycle races on Sunday, finished 2nd in 2, and was in 3rd for the Expert Superbike event when I made a mistake and went off. Finished 4th but was half a bike length from the podium at the line.
Going to see if we can do some WERA races next year, and then maybe some AMA stuff. (Hopefully.)

Day's been pretty awful with exams and presentations. Always finding myself stumbling on both and making stupid mistakes. Ending up with the professor picking on me for it, making an example out of me. Though this asks for how my day is, I'd say it's more like my week so far. Especially a horrible start to it on Monday when my car broke down on the way to class. Sitting on the side of the road for an hour or two calling people I know (who were all busy). Called my father who was on break and hoped that he could at least help me get the car back home, instead responding to my phone call with "screw you, you deserve to have this happen and I hope you get hit by a car while you're sitting on the side of the road!" My parents and I don't get along too well... Ended up limping it home... Of course that was Monday and probably one of the worst days this year. But it's been a streak of bad luck this week so far. Typing this from my laptop outside campus on a bench in the..slightly chilly temperature, since all of the lobbies have locked up. Things only feel as though they'll get worse...

I feel a bit terrible right now.. Been ill last couple of days now with a runny nose, tongue infection and a pretty bad cut on my lip. Such symptoms have extremely bogged me down too. The medicine my doctor gave me isn't really helping me either.. I guess I'll keep at it and hope this subsides very soon.

Pretty damn nice day besides me slamming the ground after crashing my bike. I was going in for a turn and hit a pebble and wiped out in front of traffic. I have a mean scrape where I previously had one so it may not heal well. :| I guess I'll live.

You know they have the internet right?
My day was just ok. I want to sleep a lot so I can wake refreshed. I took melatonin last night figuring that would help but for some reason it just keeps me awake all night. I remember like every second passing by until morning. I didn't feel that tired when morning came but I also didn't feel like I had the best sleep ever.

Played GT5 for the first time I surely have been missing out those few years, now to get a wheel.

'twas a lovely day, had my final driving lesson in preparation for the driving exam tomorrow.
On an unrelated note, something happened that reminded me of a dark experience from the past which gave me a "What the hell am I actually doing?" moment. Time to reevaluate my thoughts and goals to fit reality.

Yesterday was a fairly good day.👍 It started off pretty boring during the day, but then me and my Dad went to his mate's wife's birthday party, which was fairly fun to say the least 
. Walking home across a field in the pitch black, whilst chucking it down wasn't though.

So, I've had to work overtime. On a Sunday. After already having to work the late shift on Saturday. And since that's not enough to make me puke, I've now been charged with doing technical customer support, too. Now, I've got both IT customer support and financial customer support on my hands. Seriously, whenever you think that your customers can't possibly get any dumber, they'll surprise you with problems you thought were utterly impossible to create... 
Best of all, my boss is trying to sell that to me as "a great opportunity to show off my technical prowess", my "courage to tackle new taks" and "a great way to prove how motivated I am". Hell, all it does is test my tollerance to stupidity...
/edit: Just hit a new low.
Appearently, my company (we're a bank, mind you) is now obliged to do customer support for Lexware's software

My day ended great.
I went to the casino for the first time. I put twenty dollars in a slot machine and wasn't winning anything at first. On my last pull for the twenty dollar credit, I walk out with $480 bucks.
Ended up using sixty bucks out of the eighty.
I think I did good for my first night.

Yesterday I went on an approx 120km journey in a bicycle with my daddy till the coastal line lying in the eastern edge of my prefecture.
It wasn't that bad at the very beginning when we went outside after getting poised for the long-way journey at around 11:30 in morning - road condition was relatively good without so many buckles on the path and the number of cars traversing through across the way. I even used a "freeway" for two-wheeler vehicles for the first time with twenty yen as prepaid fare.
However, the transitional point when things turned godawful little by little was when we got to a small inn by the seashore for eating lunch, it was already past 2:20 in the afternoon at the moment we reached to the spot and at the very least it took us around 6 hours to do a round-trip with a short break in interval(2 hours and 45 minutes in each way, and a dining recess as a pause)so we had to make a run for it so that we could finally return home before it gets too dusky and starting to have a little chill sticking around outside - and eventually we set our minds on using a shorter route but contains more of ups and downs.
After finishing lunch it was around 3 o'clock - making a haste for going back home, but in the middle of our way we've got some acclivity with extremely bad road condition and it made me feel overly exhausted reaching to the tip of the steep slopes.
On our way home we dropped by a convenience store for purpose of supplying beverage in a flask at around 4:30, but soon becoming dark earlier than usual and realising that I had neither light nor blinking lamp at the back leaving me at a loss how to follow up the route we once got past in darkness. Unfortunately, my dad had the light for lightening the front and I was to go ahead of him for not to get lost - managing to make it without serious accidents thanks to his all-out support notwithstanding the fact that it was far too late getting back home - past 6:30.
And as for what I did today at the last, I went to my granddad's cottage to arrange a few of portable movables and broom dead leaves at a parking space - basically that's all. What I found to be happy with was, that on our way to the cabin we made a stopover in a restaurant having a try to a spicy noodle, it was quite hot but I could barely manage to make away with that.
