Countdown to Montreal presentation: 12 days from now ( Read more... )

Not in order at all, but starting with the obligatory rant about Kenny and following up with other things that actually do matter in my life.

I got a call today that I'm not sure was really necessary.

He wanted to know the answer to a question I'd explained twice to him before.

It made me feel relieved while I wrote a letter about my mother and ( Read more... )

Psych class, early morning psych class!

I wasn't even sure I was going to take it - I was going to nonchalantly sleep in and drop it from my schedule later when I checked my school email last night. The professor had sent out a personalized message to all of his students, encouraging them to wake up early and come. He said he'd make it worthwhile. ( Read more... )

I have no sleep and no caffeine and only my wonky brain to keep me awake. It's not helping me study, I can't focus for anything, but I have had plenty of thoughts all the same throughout the day, and they have all been borderline insane:

- "You can't look at his facebook profile! No, no! Stab yourself in the THIGH!" (actually stabs end of fist into ( Read more... )

I have yet to find the word for 'flail' in Japanese, and this is probably good because were I to find it I would run outside screaming it at the top of my lungs in my nightgown.

Walked into my Japanese Studies class today; my professor had his lecture, and I, for my part, was very attentive. See, I'm a very good student. I'm very diligent and although not very punctual I am very far from being complacent. I raise my hand in class and ask questions and I do extra-credit assignments and stay after class for an hour talking ( Read more... )

Someday, when I have internet again, I will be able to do things like lay around... and not do anything.
And when I have my bank card I will be able to eat my lunches in peace.
It probably won't feel so overwhelming anymore.

Yep. Someday.

I have recently stated that I wished my life was a bit more like a regular college student's life. I guess it is time for me to put that to the test, because I have gotten home around 11:20 at night from work and dinner, my room is dirty (does not like) just finished answering some important mail with a little of bit of youtubing mixed in, have to ( Read more... )

One of my professors wrote this note for me today, that my point of view and the things i wanted to say were interesting, but that I'd made too many mistakes that confused the meaning. Pronunciation and grammar. Basically, everything.

That's it, then. The communication gap - between language and language -- and between me and me.

I don't think I seem ( Read more... )

I know it doesn't have to do with anything I usually speak about here, but today was our first day of class.

And I could do with a bit of class in my life.

It feels like a new chapter; new people and new interactions and ways for the future to reveal itself. I would prefer this year to be like a triangle-shaped page of one of those paper fortune ( Read more... )
