I was looking forward to attending Victorian Valentine, but I decided that I won't be going. My outfit won't be able to make it on time (which is what I get for deciding on things at the last minute), and besides, it won't be fun going without my friends. At first, I had already made up my mind to attend the event even without my friends, but then I realized that I'd probably feel awkward. Some people that I know are going to the event, but they're mostly acquaintances so I might feel out of place. Ate Nami, thank you anyway for your offer! :) And to those in my contacts list who're going to Victorian Valentine, I will just look at your pictures and wait for next year's event (hopefully, my friends will be geared up to go, and I won't be rushing things).
So I guess I'll just spend my Saturday preparing for the Accounting long exam, which has been moved to Tuesday. Anyway, solving accounting problems on a Saturday won't be so bad, especially if I get a high grade (and I really need a high, high grade right now because I'm disappointed with myself; I set high standards for myself).
That said, I can't wait for next weekend's cosplay convention (Tagcom)! After all, it's been a while since I attended a cosplay convention.
However, I'm sad and disappointed to say that I won't be attending the Ozine fest. I have been looking forward to this three-day cosplay event, especially since the organizers seem to be going bigtime this year. Maid cafe? Lots of contests? A national cosplay competition? This might just be one of the biggest cosplay events of the year. Unfortunately, we're going on a family vacation, and we're leaving on April 2, while the airfare is cheaper. The initial plan was to leave on April 6, and I would've been happy with that decision, but it turned out that airfare was several dollars cheaper on the 2nd. I tried in vain to have our flight postponed by coming up with all sorts of reasons, but none of them worked. I like vacations, but I like cosplay events too. Or maybe I even like cosplay conventions more. *sigh* "Karen," Andrea, I was hoping we could have lunch at this Japanese restaurant/bakery I was talking about. And I wanted to cosplay too. Just take lots of pictures for me, okay? It seems there is no way out; we're leaving on the 2nd whether I like it or not. That is, unless a fortuitous event occurs...

The results of the JTA applications still aren't out yet. The suspense is killing me.
A JTA talk was held last Wednesday, and as of now, it seems that - more or less - I'm inclined to pick Sophia University or Rikkyo University.
