I've sneezed about 5 or 6 times in the past two minutes. There's something up with the air in the tatami room ( Read more... )

Soooo, I've not gone to class for the past two and a half days, and tomorrow's not looking very promising either. But we'll see. I've been downing vitamin drinks, my tea mug is never empty (although I'm trying to conserve what little tea I have so lately it's only been hot water), I've been dilligently taking my NyQuil and the medicine Mitsuki went ( Read more... )

It's been almost two months since I kept you guys on FB updated, time to do another bulletpoint-ish summary!

School:I placed into 501, which is the highest level for the Japanese language classes. One would think this means I have more homework, but I think 501 has it better than ( Read more... )

I'm leaving Iowa City tomorrow and will be back in the STL area in the evening, so I'm looking for things to quiet down so I have enough time to sit ( Read more... )

So this morning as I was getting ready to go to work at 6:15am, coughing my lungs up and blowing my brains out through my nose (welcome to my week), I was completely hating my boss for scheduling me an hour before my written availability. I got into work and was in the back getting ready when my boss saw me, asked how I was, and almost immediately ( Read more... )

We're having a pretty big thunderstorm right now. One of the thunderclaps shook my apartment so much, and I heard something fall down. I thought it was something in the kitchen but it seems the light fixture on my bathroom ceiling fell clean off. (x_x) I'm just glad I wasn't in there. To top that off, there was a rainstorm over the weekend and even ( Read more... )
