Well then
Ugh, you know what I hate? Cleaning product commercials. They're so sexist. I mean, seriously... this one for laundry detergent had a "lab" to show stain removal... all the people watching the demo were female. What woman sits and goes "Doing the family's laundry? Do want!"? If I ever end up getting married, unless that guy has a higher degree/more stressful job than me, he'll be doing ALL the household chores. And I'll expect dinner on the table when I get home.

*unreasonable crabbiness is unreasonable*
So anyway. I just finished reading my 90 pages of MCAT review for the day. I kind of had this "HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIT!!!" moment last weekend when I realized that I only had four more weeks until I take the test and I was only done with Part One of the review. Suffice to say that I am now more panicked than I was before, but I have so far been able to keep on track with the new goals I've set... so hopefully I'll have part 2 and part 3 finished by this weekend. That'd leave me with two weeks to do all the practice problems and take a couple practice tests. It's kind of strange that, even though it is crunch time, I'm feeling a bit better about things. I'm actually making some progress now.
Aside from that, things are coming along in regards to the study abroad dealie. Have my dormitory placement and did some poking around on the internet to find info about the area. It's a nice bit outside of Tokyo, which could potentially be a bit icky with transportation, but I figure that not being surrounded by tall buildings might be kind of nice for a suburbanite. Besides, the commute is about 30 minutes on the train, which is shorter than my drive to school here. And since I won't be concentrating on driving, maybe I'll be able to study or do other productive things. In other official news, my Letter of Eligibility FINALLY got here, so now I will be able to hop over (so to speak) to the Japanese consulate and hopefully get my student visa.
On the fun side, my mom and I went out shopping. I decided not to do the bedding rental (lol, like $200 for sheets/pillow/comforter? I think not), but that meant that I needed to get some stuff to take in regards to that. Since I have lived at home during college, I didn't get the whole "preparing a dorm room" experience... but I'm getting that now! And being the Type A Personality that I am, I soooo love that I can get everything to match. It'll make me much happier with my little nest. XD On a similar vein with the Type A/mild obsessive compulsive personality disorder thing, I'm totally psyched about packing. It's like 3D Tetris.
... I am, unfortunately, not being sarcastic or ironic. I even take joy in bagging groceries.
