(no subject)
I love the Chrono Cross soundtrack. Some of the music really just... moves me. I don't know, there's something about it that's almost overwhelmingly beautiful.
Fridays are my day without classes. Theoretically I am spending this day catching up my uni work, because the running theme of Law this semester (for every student I've talked to, not just me) is playing catch up to the unreasonable and unrealistic amount of reading that the two compulsary subjects generate together. I say theoretically because in practice there has been a lot of staring blankly into space vaguely trying to figure out what I should be doing. I can't seem to focus today.
There've also been detours in Saga Frontier 1. That game frustrates me. There's not enough direction in it, so you get stuck a lot. And it's really easy to die. I'm going to try and finish Asellus's story because I find the characters and scenario interesting, but I'm not going to bother with the other characters, I don't think.
Today is the 9th day I've woken up ill. Sigh. I begin to suspect I'll never be free of this blasted virus.
On the good news front, mother seems to actually be reconciled to the idea of me studying in Japan for a year now. There's a scholarship I'm thinking of applying for next year; my year in Japan is 4th year (I'm in 2nd year now) but the scholarship leaves in October and lasts for a year. Which is in the middle of my second semester. If I wanted to do that, I'd have to do 3 law subjects in the first semester (and 1 asian subject) and vice versa in the second, because Law is very inflexible and apparently not very understanding about students who have to take their exams from Japan. I'm not entirely sure about this; it would be fairly disruptive to my classes for the year on just a chance of getting the scholarship, and the idea of doing 3 law subjects at the same time is mildly horrifying because law subjects are, well, hard. They're a lot of work. And... one of the other things I'm sort of worried about is the year in Japan will mean I graduate after all my friends in law. Which is something I'm determined not to allow hold me back, beause clinging to things like that is one of my biggest problems, but at the same time it's depressing.
Another problem with the scholarship is that I don't think you get any choice in placement and mum would greatly prefer me to be in Tokyo so there'd be more immediate medical facilities etc etc.
But on the other hand, it's a VERY good scholarship; it covers airfare, tuition, accomodation, and some medical costs, and gives both a sum of money on arrival and 135000 yen per month allowance.
I guess I don't have to think about it until at least the second half of this year, though. I should go back to case summaries. *sigh*
In other news, my paid account ran out. Curses!
