(no subject)
I guess I have time to write an entry about the past few days.
Monday Wilson came back to the dorm, packed up, and left back home for the summer. Sadness, I know :-( Even thought he didn't have much stuff, once he left, the room was more barren than ever. Kim came over to say good-bye also. Helped him move his stuff to his friend's car and then waved goodbye until whever we see one another again. He was a great roommate, probably my favorite of the three I've had. I know a lot of people had a hard time getting used to him (and still do for that matter), but if you can get past his outer layer, hes really a good person underneath. I can't wait for next year. There should be more fun times.
Of course the next day my Japanese pop culture paper was due. I was up all of Monday freaking the hell out over the paper. It was like 4:30 in the morning and I still wasn't sure about my topic. It was getting to the point where I was on the verge of calling my mom to calm me down. Yea, that night I was a mess. But Kim had bought me Thai noodle that night so I just sat there and stuffed my face unil I was calm again, and then began to write. I wasn't done with it before I had my Convo and culture exam. But when I got to it, I asked Baxer if I could leave after presenting and she said I could. Got up there, did my thing well, and then rushed back to the dorm to continue writing. I handed it on time, but was pretty bummed about the quality.
Tuesday night I had no food still. It was another all nighter for me and I had my Chinese calligraphy exam in the morning and then Jap 302 like 4 hours after. I was going crazy once more. I had pulled all nighter for the past days in a row, I had no more food left. I was going crazy. Kim drove me over food, but I rushed to her place to stop her. She caught me on the streets. Then I hid behind a tree hoping I could get away. She caught me though and chased me around the tree until I gave up because I was afraid someone would see me a think I was trying to attack her and call the police. Kim supplied me with crazy amounts of food that were so delicious. Yum.
Calligraphy in the morning was crap. I studied. But I only studied the English translations of the chinese terms (since all the Chinese terms looked the same to me and weren't sticking in my memory). Unfortunately for me, she only put the Chinese terms on the test. Someone asked her if she would translate them because they never studied the Chinese name and she flat-out refused. So I had to leave like 10 answers blank on this like 20 question test. But to prove to her that I did know my stuff, I listed all 14 rules for calligraphy and beside each character on the matching part, I put the English name of what they represented. See, I knew the freaking answers, but I had no idea what their Chinese names were. Ugh! And to make things worse, I did equally as bad on my calligraphy part as well. I hate that class. I'm so glad it's over. Thank god it's only 2 credits, it won't do so much heavy damage for when I get a C if I pass at all.
Studied the best I could for Japanese. I can't say I got the grammar down packed. Nor did I read Chapter 15's yomimono 1 so I couldn't answer that one. And I couldn't remembered what tatemae and honne meant so I left that one black as well. Kanji I did well on. It turns out the one I stayed until the end of class trying to figure out I got the reading for correct. "rikai." Unfortunately, I didn't know what it meant so I had to leave part of that translation blank.
My oral presentation afterwards sucked, but oh well.
Shortly after my sister comes and picks me up to take me home. I never even got a chance really to say good-bye to anyone. I guess it's not really necessary since I'll be seeing everyone sometime during the summer, but I wish I could've been there with everyone at Thai Noodle celebrating the end of the semester. Instead I was listening to two people one after the other yell at me. My sister was angry she had to come pick me up. She complained the entire time about it. She complained about how I always need people do things for me, I can't do things myself, That I was inconsiderate towards other people who are forced to do these things for me, etc etc etc. So of course having first gone through all the stress of finals and then her, I felt pretty crappy and just began to shut her out because I didn't need to listen anymore.
In the car she pretty much demanded I do her memoir assignment for one of her classes because she had to pick me up. And having felt so guilty for being such an inconvenience for her, I did. I mean, if I could've gotten home on my own with all my stuff I really would've. But she pretty much said that was my problem and I should've figured something out on my own. ::sigh:: It's been 3 days since that conversation with my sister and it's still bothering me. Bah.
Got home and tried unpacking some stuff, but there's been no room. And because of that I latered regretted it. I guess it's kind of nice to be home, but I spent most of that time still freaking over the exams I just went through, the chance I never got to really say good bye to my friends and wish them a good summer, and just wanting to crawl into a little hole. Never got a chance to cry because I was too tired, but I guess it didnt matter.
Anyway, I slept at midnight that night until 7:30 PM the next day. I really needed that. I had lost so much sleep because of finals so it was nice to sleep in.
I can't remember what I did. I had a random on-line conversation with Frank. I'm glad to see he was still alive. His main reason for IMing me was because he wanted me to send him some songs, but in between we made small talk. That was kind of nice, I guess ^^; I spent another all-nighter writing my sister's memoir assignment about my Great grandmother. She showed me what she had so far and it was complete crap. I asked her where her notes were about her life so we could write this. She only talked to The Grand Muh-Maa and never asked her the right questions so we could write this. So I interviewed my mother, got a lot of good details out of it and wrote all night. I was very happy with the turn-out and it definitely made up for my Japanese pop culture paper.
Didn't get to bed until like 8:30 in the morning and slept until 5:30 PM. Marissa called several times during that time while I was asleep. Sorry about that :-(
Had an IM by Laz asking me to call him. I kind of never got around to it :-\ I should probably do it today. Wow, I am just sucking at human communication/being on people's good sides, aren't I? :-\
Last night I suffered through one of my family's ever so popular parties. I really shouldn't even call them parties since their frequency is like every other day and it's just everyone hanging out at the house. I was in the basement all to myself just playing solitaire on my comp. My mom comes down and starts cleaning up which is fine. I help her. After we're done I go back to what I'm doing. Then one of her friends comes down. Still fine. And then another. Okay still fine. I go upstairs to grab something to drink, I come back and they've taken the chair for my computer to sit in. ^^; So I kind of got kicked out of the basement. I grab my glasses and go upstairs to watch TV somewhere. My father's friends were all in the living room. My brother was in his room, my father was out with my sister at the club. I watched TV in my sister's room.
Eventually I get kicked out of it. My mom and her friends are all downstairs, my father and his friends are upstairs. I'm completely stranded again without anywhere to go. I kind of stay in the kitchen and just wait.
My father's friends move themselves into the basement and I take over the living room. I watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow for the first time. I liked it haha. I think they captured the feel of the old cartoons pretty well. I also began watching Rebecca. The book is one of my favorites. I can't say the movie was as good though. I didn't think it was as emotionally strong as the book. Ah well.
Slept upstairs until about 5 and then came to check out the mess in the basement. Surprisingly clean! Wow, that was a shock. My only complaint is everything smells like smoke. And this is where I regret not unpacking fast enough. Now all my clothes need to be washed to get the smell out. As for all my personal knick-knack like my computer and my manga, and even my poor bamboo plant, I guess the smell will go away with time :-(
I feel like I should be doing more right now. Not sure what exactly it is though. I've been reading the wanted section of the newspaper in the morning, but I haven't come across anything yet. I'm in dire need of money. I can't travel to see anyone or hang out with anyone without money. I'm stuck here in my house instead. Craziness.
I watched this in the morning to cheer myself up. I'd recommend it to you too! http://upty.orico.co.jp/cm/index.html It's the one with gackt in it. He's trying to have a dance-off with Upty. What a wreck!
Anyway, I've babbled long enough. There really isn't anything left to say. Until another time, take care. Ciao.
