No skull from the skull-less.
Tigrex Skull, where art thou?? 5 captured, 1 killed, most with the head broken, but I smell no skull :( Granted it's about 12% chance of getting it in the rewards, but I'm just whining here because I am terrified of the Tigrex. The "Sinking Feeling" quest back in MHP2G scarred me for life :( This is the first time I'm making Tiggy armour, and it's only because I realise that both sets of gunner armour I have are -10 and -20 for fire (-20 for the set with HGEP). That never was an issue, but I'm going up against the Agnaktor so I kinda want to be more safe than sorry (didn't bother making it for Los/Ian because I figured that I wouldn't be on the receiving end of fireballs anyway).
Presentation today was... meh. I don't think it was a complete flop (or maybe it was, but my woolly brain wasn't making good judgements anyway). Am somewhat proud of the smoke bomb I threw at the end - if in doubt and not keen on being bombarded by questions from the floor, pre-empt them and be the one asking the floor questions. Though I wasn't prepared to comment on their discussion which was fail on my part. Maybe I shouldn't have gone for class after all, since the TAs had already told the lecturers that I wouldn't be presenting because I was sick. In fact, I wouldn't have needed to present today if not for the fact that a friend outed me right at the beginning -_- Thanks man. You were t3h awesumz.
But anyway, that was the last lesson. Reluctantly dragged myself to the project meeting later on, which didn't turn out to be as painful as expected, mainly because it was a mini-seminar session and thus we weren't holding mass discussions discussing someone else's project (which also means we didn't have to talk about our non-existant one). Next week is another mini-seminar session, which is good. It's going to all be in Japanese again (as usual) and I'm probably lucky if I understand 60% of whatever's being said due to all the technical terms, but at least there's something to focus on. Gah I don't know. I kinda want to stay as part of the lab, but somehow the atmosphere just feels... not welcoming. I guess there are nice people around, but they feel like the minority.
I think I should let my newts sleep. One of them has started sleeping in broad daylight (though he woke up twice because he probably noticed me staring at him) because he has probably already given up on me actually keeping to normal sleeping hours. He's awfully skinny (the other newt is twice its body width I swear), and really dry when he sits on the rock for extended periods of time. I feel sad for him :(
