46. Seriously.... Uni is absorbing my life ._.
Hello, guys!
I sort of promised I'd be around more often, and so I'm trying here to keep you updated with my boring uni-centered life ._. or the lack of it
There are still 2 weeks and a half to finish this semester and I'm been quite beaten around lately. I'm at the edge of failing one course, which it's the basics of my professional option (Literary and Linguistics Research).... And that it's Research Seminary. Professor it's crazy and I have already 08 and 09 in my grades, which means I need to f*cking nail my final paper or I'll fail this course. I haven't failed a course like... ever!!! So I'll just have to try my best, cause I actually LOVE my research subject and I'm trying my best not to let those grades to make me feel bad about myself which for once my brother is not helping me with and I already feel like a total fail and just T_T But anyway.... this isn't over until it's over, I guess....
Besides that I have to hand out a final work for pretty much ALL of my courses. Well, in one of them I actually have to hand in TWO final papers, but I'm not that worried about those two... I'll finish with 2 courses on Monday, probably....
And then there's the English Final Project *,* Which, as you can imagine, made me suffer quite a lot before but now I'm just utterly excited about it and I'm hoping I can finish it on time and make a good job.... I love my teacher and I admire him soooooo much, so I wanna do a good job with him! I just got 20pts on my final oral test and that kinda made me feel a bit better, considering...
But well, I'm trying to write a "book" for the class (will try my best to even print it and made it look like a real book and all). Of course, it'll be a short book... An Akame story, where Kame is going to San Francisco to continue his studies in English and Culture with the sort of English they are taught in Japan. Jin will be a dance/model/actor who went years before to US to pursue his dreams, but also has to work on some part-jobs to make a living.... Jin has a very grasp of English and has a different perception of American culture, since he 'lives it', while Kame will have a sort of academic view on it. I want them not to like each other too much, but to turn on each other eventually, like having a Japanese friend around helps them not to feel so homesick. I'll go a bit deep on subjects such as identity, culture, culture shock, stereotypes, second language and foreign language acquisition, etc, the sort of topics we dealt with on class. Ah, idk if it's so important, but Kame will be a gay man who sort of wanted to feel a bit more free about his sexuality while Jin will be bisexual. The romance will enssue by the end of my book and God knows it'll have to have a happy ending ._. (seriously, we only read sort of tragic books on class this semester ._.)
Anyway.... If you can up something more I could include on my book, I would really appreciate your suggestions. Or even just questions that could help me think about this more clearly, cause like I said on twitter, I only have 2 short chapters and the project display will start next week T_T I can't affort to have a writter's block rn.... So.... help me? Just making me talk about it could help me out....
Anyway, I know I'm just using my journal to complain lately.... but I promise once I finish this semester (a day right before my b-day, btw ._.), I will start working and posting a LOT of fics I'm working on too..... Sounds like a good deal, right?
Anyway, hope you guys are having fun!
Kisses,
