At last, at last, the Week From Hell, Parts One and Parts Two are over! Yatta! Geh, I am so freakin tired. Stupid school. I don't think I have ever, EVER had a week, and definitely not two, that horrible.  But at last it is over. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I proclaim it Sleeping Day. Oh yes. Me and my futon will be spending lots of time together. ( Read more... )

 Urgh, this past week sucked much.

Wednesday- one quiz, lots of homework due
Thursday- 5 page paper due
Friday- two freakin tests

So plans for the ( Read more... )

I've been reading over some stuff I've written, and really, I don't understand how the hell I wrote this. I mean, I look at what I wrote, I look at the vocabulary I use, I look at the meaning of what I've written ,and it's like, how the fuck did I write something this good?? It doesn't make sense.

I mean, I've been told I'm a good writer and stuff, ( Read more... )

Seriously though, it sucks. I'm gonna cry *sob*. How unfair that Trinity schedule Tony Blair to come speak while I'm away?? I really wanna go!!! But as I am in Tokyo right now, it's rather impossible. So cruel...

I mean, I'm super glad I am in Japan, really. I love it here. I just ask, why couldn't that have waited till next year? Why couldn't they ( Read more... )

Yeah, so i'm finally getting around to putting up my pictures. I figured the best (free) way was to use facebook. So, here are the links. Enjoy!

By the way, have I mentioned I love February? Cuz I really do. Really. *sigh* Yay.

Much of the happiness abounds, tis February!!!! Yup, the greatest month of the year, definitely. Hehehe. I'm so excited. I turn 21 this month, and it's a national holiday, how is that not totally awesome. Of course, being here in Japan where the legal drinking age is 20 kinda takes the fun out of turning 21, but whatever. I'm still excited that my ( Read more... )

So I am here in the computer lab, waiting for time to pass so that I can make my way to Mita Hall so I can have my three hour long class. Don't get me wrong, not anxious for the class, not that its too boring or anything (It's Japan's Foreign Policy), It's just that it's so loong and I wanna go home. Plus, since I have such a long commute from ( Read more... )

So yesterday I went to Meiji Shrine in Harajuku. It was awesome. So beautiful. While you're walking the path, you can hardly believe it's all in the middle of one of the most populated, largest cities in the world. I mean, really. And there was a procession while I was there. I think it was a wedding, not really sure, though. Whatever.

Anyways, ( Read more... )

 Mwahahaha!! I am writing this post from Tokyo, Japan!!

Yeah, first time writing anything here since I got here a week ago. But I've been busy and don't have internet access at the house right now. I'm in a homestay in Saitama, which results in an hour and a half long commute (each way). But I love it here, even though having to go to class not so ( Read more... )

 I promised myself I wouldn't post anything here until I finished my story, but today is a definite exception. Or, well, as it's past midnight, I suppose I now mean yesterday.

Okay, so the good and then the devastating. I won't share my devastation and utter sadness with the world, only those who are truly interested, so I'll put that behind a cut ( Read more... )
