ippo susunde maenarae!!!
Did more Hap Kido today. It was fun, though less of a workout. I think I want to sign up for yoga, since it'd be more my thing. More stretching and less kicking people. I'm so not violent. I can't even give the expert-level instructor a slight tap in the shin. T__T
I really like martial arts. I'm just too much of a wuss to do them.
Today, there was a new instructor with the old one who seems a little more experienced. He kept kicking and punching us and bending our arms back. He stuck his fingers into the gap in our necks to show us how it gives a shock. Of course he didn't use a lot of strength, but it still hurt! It just made me laugh though. Elyssa is so much more flexible than me, I'm so jealous!
Oh, and I got General Tso's at the Asian Express. It was good. Not great, but edible. Kim says it's gross and not even real Asian food. She's probably right about that. XD
In IH today, we talked a lot about homosexuality, how it was perceived in ancient times in comparison to today. It was a discussion that developed after we read a bunch of Sappho's works. I was a little mad about that. Not because I didn't want to discuss homosexuality. There's at least one lesbian in my class, and the issue is important to her, and it's important to be discussed in general. But there was so much more I got out of Sappho's work than just that homosexuality was acceptable among ancient Greeks. So much promotion of the virtue of feminism, and some deep insights into spirituality and passion. We didn't even touch on any of that. Grrr.
I don't understand my math class at all. The teacher's accent is way too thick, and he rambles. Today we must have done a dozen problems, and by "done" I mean we went over how to do part of each problem - not the whole thing. And he'd jump around from problem to problem. I didn't learn anything. I'm going to just study from the book. I'll probably just stop going to class altogether if it keeps up like this. Attendance isn't mandatory except on exam days. If I'm not learning anything, there's no point in being there.
Japanese class is really hard. I need to buy white-out.
I can't believe how much Spanish I remember.
And I'm sick of being single. Really sick of it.
On the bright side, Jesse found me on Facebook! It's been years since we've talked. I'm so glad he still remembers me. We used to have some good times. ~_^
Dad's going to bring me home tomorrow for the long weekend! Yippee! (Kim, Elyssa, Sandy and Shana are all going home, so there's really no point in me staying... alone... friendless... doing nothing in the dorm... missing my dog... lawlz.)
GIVE ME MYSTIC ARCANA #3.
