thought i'd say a few things. ok. let's see. oh yeah today was a big day. got up at 7am. what a first! went to 8am class. afterwards i sweat like crazy as i went to the foreign languages office. got there, nobody home, had a good chat with the secretary. i had to come back in 30 mins. i did and bam. well... it was more awkward than i thought. she was busy right away with prior made appointments so i was bumped out for a whole hour. i couldn't judge the reaction from our 5 minutes of talking but i went to talk to my media/film professor Andrew and he straightened me out about life and the future, graduation and all that. he even knows as he calls "fumiko" a little bit and told me not to worry, but be prepared to take steps in paperwork before going over. none of that was necessary however when that hour was up and i was back in her office. i presented my gifts of manzai videos which she enjoys. all vhs copies. also the copy of kikujiro i had on vhs. she is looking better, but still much older than before she got remarried and i went to japan. much much older. it's like that one asian american joked 'my parents growing up looked like lucy liu and chow yun fat. then overnight all at once they turned into Gollum and Yoda.' or something like that. ok so she doesn't look that old, but it's noticeably different.
anyway she was more than happy to help with graduating and all sorts of good stuff. those two conversations really picked me up. afterwards, i went straight to registration and filled out a graduation application for next semester. here's to hoping credits come back and i don't fail this semester's courses. fudge man. cause if i do, my gpa might drop just low enough to stop me. well, here's to hoping i'm gone after next semester! and thanks for the support, emil. that's all i needed. that and Oma's dream of having to dismember me piece by piece. he was forced to because i just happened to stop in while he was murdering others. well i suppose that's a good enough excuse. hehe. in Thailand i guess, a dream of a close friend or family member, loved one dying means they will come upon some good fortune or things are going to look up for them. kind of like they get reborn or leave the cycle of ...well whatever's bad or something. thank you oma for having me die in your dream. just no thanks for killing me in such a grotesque manner.... along with many others... though he felt horrible about it the whole time.
