What I've Been Up To Lately :D
I haven't been on LJ in some time. Since I started college, I tried to keep up to date, but then my computer would freeze and be slow, and my laptop doesn't like to load LJ quickly for some reason...and in the end I just decided I'd hold off on even checking it until the end of the semester. XD; And now it's Winter Break! :D So back here I am~.
My college classes went pretty well. :3 I passed Japanese, which was a very fun class. My teacher was really funny, and interesting, too. Oddly enough, he never really specified what we should call him, so we just called him by his first name. ^^; He also didn't like looking up grades, as a friend of mine told me, as when another friend of mine and I went to ask him one day, he just said we were doing fine. Then he took a long time to answer when my friend finally asked for a specific grade. XD; I passed my Career Development class as well. :3 That was a very useful class, and I learned a lot from it. ^_^ The teacher was really nice, and I often walked with her and a friend after class to her office, where she went to her office and we would then go to my other friend's class to wait for her to get out. I... think I passed my English class. ^^; I hope I did. My teacher was sometimes nice, and sometimes a bit scary. orz I can honestly say I have no idea how I've fared. Our final project was worth 500 points out the 700 total points for the whole semester, so... and I still haven't gotten a grade on it... But I feel like I've really improved as a writer in that class, at the very least where essays are concerned. :D ... And then... there's Pre-Calculus... OTL I definitely failed that. You live, you learn, though, right? ^^; I place much of the blame on my high school and the staff members who made me take a study hall for no reason instead of a math class like I wanted because they claimed I didn't need it. >w>;; It just went too fast for me, and I hadn't taken math in two years, so my algebra skills were worse than rusty... 'uou~
I made a lot of new friends and acquaintances. :3 I really hoped that--and doubted that-- I'd make lots of friends and meet people from around the world during my time in college. :3 I wondered if that would happen at all, and lo and behold in just my first class of my first semester I accomplished both of those goals! :D All in all, it was a good first semester of college. ^_^
In any case, now my time is being taken up by Skyrim and Hetalia. Well, I always have time for Hetalia. XD But Skyrim has taken up most of the rest of my time. >w> It's truly an amazing game! It's tons of fun~. :D
I also want to try to learn more about how to use LJ and make my profile a little more fun looking. XD;; Compared to all my friends, mine is really boring. It's because I was too lazy to try and figure out how to do anything with it, really... ^^; So, yeah. :D That's pretty much why I've been gone for so long, if anyone even noticed. XD; So, I bid you all adieu for now. ^_^
