On to of homework and needing to study for exams coming up in a few weeks, I now have a report to write so I can type it in class on Tuesday, a skit to write (having to match schedules with my partner) for Tuesday and then practice for for early December, write the two last papers for Anime, find time to go to a religious ceremony and write about that, prepare and perform for the cultural festival, and still attend class. And this morning that last one wasn't possible. And commuting takes time, too. This week sucks, but if I can finish four of those things by Monday night, I'll be free once again. Until the exams I need to study for. Damn.
Today, after printing out a (previous) report to hand in, I had a three minutes where I didn't have to rush like mad to something else. Since I was already on a computer, I looked up 'Cajun' on Uncyclopedia. I liked :)
The weather just took a temperature plunge again, but I'll be surprised if it lasts the week. Normally, as soon as everyone takes the hint and wears warmer clothes, it goes back to nice and sunny.

Observations:
Japan has its own version of valley girls. They end every sentence with "na", which I guess is their version of 'like' or 'such as'. And they cough like they are a stuffed animal trying to pretend it just sneezed, which does nothing to help when you need to cough. I found they are just as satisfying to be annoyed at as our own variety.
If you ever have a conversation with a Japanese in his own country, you will always be asked "What Japanese food do you like?" I don't know what the big deal is, though. Although it looks like there are endless varieties under the sun, it's actually like american food. Pretty limited range. What exactly am I being asked to choose from? It's like someone from an Italian restaurant asking "Which single ingredient in this establishment does Sir enjoy the most?"
Tabi are socks. Tabi are bought by themselves. Tabi cost about $30.

  1. I love this post. It just makes me amusingly happy, minus your pain about classes, just remember it just like this if you were at School at home. I just finished my Exam/paper rush this afternoon, myself, and then death by studying for Finals. *dies* What makes it worse is three of my exams are Back to back from 12-8:30pm. They can't even be at reasonable day hours either.

  2. If I was home, I could just head back to my room whenever an have an easy, simple place to do all of this, even between classes. Here, I'm limited by what I can carry to school with me. Also, no heating makes it kinda hard to write.
