Right now I have a big smile on my face. I don't think it's a happy smile though. My teeth are clenched and I think it's more of a haha I feel crazy right now and now it's devolving into a frown. The reason? TWO of my TWELVE classes I've taken with UMUC the past year actually transfer cleanly to BYU. I should have seen warning bolts when the CS classes from UMUC didn't line up very well with those of BYU, but what's done is done. Thank God I'm getting an Associate's from UMUC or else I feel it'd be all in vain! Okay, I'm fine now. Situation reassessment is a helpful tool for life. It gets me through a lot.
So I kinda want to get back into studying Japanese again. This could just be a desire for novelty so when I get back to the states I'm going to go through one of those old textbooks that I got from Sensei before I graduated to make sure I still have interest. I might as well pick up a minor since I'll be in school for at least a year longer than I originally intended. Thank you BYU transfer department, really.
The discussions in my interpersonal communications class are making me feel like a cynical bastard. There was a question, "Is being polite and trying to help someone save face merely a way to manipulate others so that they perceive you in a favorable way?" and I answered yes and went into a rant about human nature and self-preservation, while others found the assumptions in the question deplorable. I'm actually quite optimistic within realistic bounds!
I'm working out again. Mom's been trying to go almost everyday and she's manipulated me into going, though I can be manipulated by a cat so take that as you will. It must be good for you or something.
My infatuation situation is the same as a week ago.
