Lots of things really...
Today feels like about three different days in one, so lets just go over it in thirds, nya?
1/3 day:
So first thing up is Uni, HPE tutorial class. Aside from finding out my friend Kuma-chan got knocked out Friday afternoon (I'M SORRY THAT I GOT ANNOYED THAT YOU WEREN'T THERE YESTERDAY!!) nothing too much happened except this one thing that gave me pause for thought. Since I'm repeating the unit, course progress wise I'm like a senpai to them (Jashin-sama help the poor souls) but in spite of that, at least 80%-90% of the class cohort is older then me. So because of this, their getting confused as to whether they should listen to my information and use it, or ignore it cause I'm younger then them by a lot. The fact that I'm a nineteen year old who looks fifteen or sixteen doesn't really help.
To get us ready for the assignment, we had to pretend to demonstrate a skill. We got the shitty-ist one to work with and so we had issues working out what to do. One of the older girls was agreeing to what I was saying because that's what she thought, two were listening to me and understanding where I was coming from and that I was trying to help and the rest just didn't want to hear it >__>
Though the looks on their faces when I spoke all technical and informative like was hilarious to watch...
2/3 day:
Kim's funeral was this afternoon.
I don't think I've ever made so many subtle movements, looks, body language and careful evasions of situations in my life. Or at least, in such a short space of time.
I used my skills (which really, given the situation, I shouldn't have had to do) to get people to greet us, avoid making confrontation withus, shut up, walk with us and know there place all pretty much without them realizing that they were doing so by my say-so until they did themselves. This made the whole ordeal less of one, for which I am grateful.
Quite a few people were surprised that I could do that to them, since most of them were in a 'my-way-is-the-right-and-only-way' frame of mind. And because of this, they still have no idea of whether to handle me as a child (the only time I thank my teen looking appearance), someone who they should be wary of or someone they could possibly talk back to.
3/3 day:
Going out for drinks afterwards. Were I proved that I could still hold my alcohol well (three Black Russians [one as a double shot] without food and no effects) and saw the stupidity of our (state?) government.
My uni course for early childhood teaching takes four long years of four units per semester, twelve weeks long per unit. They are now mainstreaming people WHO ARE NOT IN EDUCATION to become high-school teachers (with mentors) in twelve weeks.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!?!?!?!?! (Scuse the language, but REALLY)
I am not impressed. At all
And so yes. That was my three thirds day.
I am SOOOOO HAPPY that this week is over.
