(no subject)
Ah...it's been a while since I updated this thing seriously, hasn't it? I feel like I've been neglecting it for too long, when there's plenty going on in my life for me to be blogging about.
Never the less, its never too late to update, I suppose. I've been dealing with a pretty hardcore cold the past few days. It bit me in the butt yesterday when I was uncharacteristically ahead in my schoolwork. Knowing this, I decided to bail from my lab time (mandatory time set to work on exercises etc.) early, having checked in with the tech on call who said he saw me, and it was good enough for him. Well, I guess he left and the guy who took over marked as absent, so its on me to make that up now.
Hrr...that's going to be a pain in the ass. Only weekday mornings or weekend evenings? I'm not gonna try to argue this...if I'm feeling better by the weekend I'll just get it over with Sunday night or something...whatever.
There really hasn't been a whole lot else going on. I made a close friend in one of the new students in my class (which they refer to as a "cohort"), a Korean film student a few years older than myself. Its interesting that we happen to share incredibly similar tastes in music (both of us absolutely love Seo Taiji, for one) which means I actually have someone I can kind of talk to about my musical tastes on a regular level for once. That's pretty nice, I'm not gonna lie. It's also nice to have what I could consider to be some semblance of a friend around here, as its been incredibly hard what with my other classmates all living insanely inconvenient distances from me. I can't forget my friend Mizuki will soon be moving out here as well, which, after her Thanksgiving visit, will be absolutely great having her around (again, actually getting to hang around with someone with the same interests as me will give me something to DO)
Honestly, I can't really complain too much. Life has been treating me well, I guess, and I feel like I'm on the right track, yet...I dunno.
I feel like there has maybe been a lot more on my mind as well. Perhaps stemming from my loneliness, or maybe I can I chalk it up to my subconscious. You know what...no big deal. Try not to read too much in to it or anything.
Changing the subject...I've been looking for ways to keep myself busy, so I've been indulging in the J-drama "Gokusen" lately. It was pretty addicting up until the second season, of which I've seen only two episodes. Akanishi Jin's character is nothing short of infuriating, but again, only two episodes in. I'm sure he'll get reformed like all the other characters tend to do.
Honestly, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something to watch that they haven't seen yet. Its very heartwarming, has some tear-jerker moments, and the vice principle character is easily one of the most hilarious characterizations I've seen in a long time...much credit to his actor, whose expressions and reactions are usually the most priceless.
Eh...I'm running out of things to say really. I'm debating weather or not I should post this giant wall of text but mrh, it's getting late, and it's like, why not? I should probably make myself some soup before I turn in or something...
Mmm...soup...anyways. >_> good night, everyone. All...four+ of you who still read this thing.
