Hey guys
It's time for an update that isn't me spazzing out in anger or else just being like "hey guys, this is awesome." Time for some real Hugasaurus Rex action. :o (ところで、徹の事やお金の問題は日本語を使うこと。姉ちゃんもこの感想を読んでるから、家族やけど・・・なんか友達だけの話みたいやん。ありがとう)
Things have been amazingly hectic here - I'm leaving Nagasaki on the 4th! @_@ I am heading off to Kobe and Kyoto to visit with friends, then off to Tokyo to spend my time exploring the illustrious Toxitown that I have been longing to be in for months now. I think I started to really get antsy to go around November - so about 1.5 months into Nagasaki I was longing for Tokyo. XD
It's such a weird feeling - I don't know if I can do it justice. I have gotten so used to life on Kyushu -- and I know it's SO different from life on Honshuu or Hokkaido, so I am unsure of what to expect when I go there. I know my Hakata accent is really thick though - yet I use kansai and other random accents when I like to -- so I feel like I've REALLY created my own accent. I think it's awesome...XD (For those of you who don't know much about Japanese accents: Kansai accent is usually made into your average southern accent in a dub of a show or movie. Hakata would be more like...Arkansas or Louisiana. x_x ) -- but in any event -- I'm really looking forward to seeing what other parts of Japan are like - especially ones that I feel I want to live in. Who knows - maybe I am wrong and I'd rather live in Kobe or Kyoto than Tokyo. (Kyoto may be full of history and I do love the accent...but the whole stereotypical Japanese history thing would be kind of annoying to deal with if I lived there for a while...you know, everyone being like "oh - you came to Japan to see Maiko and Geisha! and have to explain "No, actually I live here now." -- yeah, annoying)
MY TESTS ARE FINALLY DONE! @_@ I was really angry, because I had to go into a JLPT practice test cold - still managed an 80% - but that's a big drop from one I had a chance to study for. That test was on Thursday, and I had a business presentation AND a speaking test to do that day. I had to memorize my speaking test speech (which was written about love - dawwww - I translated it for Mom and she was all ;_; <3 at me. In reality - it was quite corny.)
Today I did this open campus thing. What sucked was getting up at 6:45 on a SATURDAY. >_> However, a lot of the new Japanese students were like D8 because I won't be there to hang out with next semester. XD To be honest though, I kind of wish that I had tried to transfer into a Japanese school...it'd extend how long I was in college and kill my budget...but I think my Japanese would become amazing really quickly. I mean, right now the best I can do is an 80-90% on a JLPT 2 test. x_x Blah... Anyway -- what REALLY sucks is that since I took in little to no liquids over the course of the day and was running around, I got ill at about 9 pm and have been drinking water and Pocari Sweat to try to feel better. ↓ Lame. However, I did earn $30 today. That is awesome.
I'd be making this really long if I tried to explain it all - but a really interesting thing happened. 2 of my friends shared the same dream I had -- and in fact, in my dream, I sent out a crow to go get valuable information -- and one of them (Maura) asked her boyfriend what he dreamed, and he dreamed that he was flying around for something. Now - the cool thing is that the name of my crow in the dream is the same as her boyfriend's name! :o What a cool thing - I have experienced that before - but never with more than 1 person that I have been able to 確認 it with. (Currently forgot what that is in English - I just looked it up and it means this: confirmation. Thus: I have only been able to confirm it with one other person before)
I have taken to watching video game walkthroughs on Youtube. It was all an accident while looking for another show...now I am hooked.
Hey Manny - in Banjo Tooie, it totally sounds like Kazooie says Laekker. XD
Man, I love Nik & Jay. I hate to admit it - but I love it. X)
Tomorrow I am going to Jusco with Mennat. She burned a hole in her carpet (I think she was burning incense in her room and it fell onto the carpet x_x) and she wants to get paint to fix it! XD Luckily for her, I know how to mix paints.
I saw the Harry Potter movie. I hadn't read the book in so long, so I can't say whether or not it was good, really. It's been WAAAY too long.
>_> Anyone who ruins this last one for me will lose their lives...and their loved ones will either lose a pound of flesh or their first born. Either works for me, really.
Ok, I'd better nukkuu. It's late. I am tired and my entry is becoming dumb. X)
Nait.
Thanks everyone, and stay classy.
