After yesterday and today, my life got a whole lot simpler. Firstly, my Religion's teacher told me that no one has written about religious symbolism in manga, and that she's heard of an interesting title called 'Inuyasha'. Score. I cranked out four pages of that in no time at all. Seeing as how that really takes the place of any sort of final for that class, one exam down :) (on a related note, Inuyasha: Final Act has been airing for a while now, in both Japan and the U.S. at the same time)
Today was my skit presentation. For my partner and I's roles, we were office workers, so we both wore our suits to school. And besides my hair and backpack-being-carried-by-someone-in-a-suit, I actually got less looks from people than usual. Until I got on campus, that is. My partner actually bought her's here, and a pretty good one, from a secondhand shop for five bucks. Wow. Our performance went very well, we got a lot of laughs from the class (which we were going for, I swear!), and everyone was pretty impressed, so I'd say we did good.
Today I reacquainted myself with a little obsession of mine called Sudoku. Next thing I know, a few hours have passed and I'm ten puzzles in. I have got to buy another book for the plane ride home (only twenty more days, and then CHIPS, OM NOM NOM!!).

Observations:
One of my classmates in Anime, upon finding the chance, opened up into a rant about capitalism (he's from latin america). I know Consumerism isn't really the same thing, but it seemed he was attacking all the U.S. students in the room, which for some reason ticked me off. Probably because I hate any kind of label put on me. It's startling, though, to meet someone attacking your country using just one word. Kinda stupid, too.
As soon as it's time to christmas shop, one's schedule will be filled directly proportional to the number of gifts that need buying.
