Megan and I went to Mama's Korean Restaurant for her birthday dinner last night - a little belated, but we couldn't leave with the party on friday and Katy's sneaky surprise visit! :) The waiters were adorable and super nice; unfortunately they definitely thought I was a stupid white girl because one of them came over while I was wrestling with ( Read more... )

IT RAINS FOR THREE WEEKS UNTIL FINALS COME. Or so my classes seem to suggest. It's really not that bad, mostly I'm stressed/panicky because one professor has our final term research paper due in two days, which means 3 whole weeks before the end of the term...I guess so he has time to read them all ( Read more... )

Really, really wanted to watch some anime, mostly Eureka 7. Couldn't find my place from last time I made it halfway through the series and got disheartened at the obvious production changes marking the second season. Ugh. No more Samurai Champloo to be found on megavideo either, so there went my second choice. Then I just randomly remembered ( Read more... )

The professor walks in, hops up on the desk and launches, completely unprompted, into his medical history over the past year. He had open heart surgery to replace an aortic valve a year ago tomorrow, had to take off part of a semester of teaching to recover, but overall came back from the surgery really quickly. Then he realized he was having pain ( Read more... )

WHY. Does it have to be almost 3am for me to be inspired? Why did I sit and stare at a blank page for six hours thinking, "Oh my god I know nothing about East Asian history" until 2am rolls around and suddenly I'm a mad genius? Suddenly I remember with crystalline clarity every example of the dissemination of Buddhist literature in three cultures, ( Read more... )

So of course the one day I skip my E200 class is the day he handed out our take-home midterm...thank god it's a take-home midterm, and not one I missed in class. For some odd reason, I was convinced midterms weren't until next week, so I was slacking off without realizing it. And then this happens (totally my fault of course, but still ( Read more... )

Updating again, because I really have nothing to say and feel like I should keep up posting momentum while I have the impulse ( Read more... )

So I've done the unthinkable (and by unthinkable I mean, what I should have done the day I joined Lj) and got myself some shiny icons. There's some bleach, eureka 7, evangelion, cute animals, and little miss sunshine and maybe even some psych and arrested development if I ever get around to editing them myself (not likely). And I realized I should ( Read more... )

So my parents pressure me into applying for the fall semester study abroad program, lord only knows why (my best working theory is they want me either distinguishedly silvered or wholly bald by the end of this term) as I do not intend to go next fall in the slightest by any means. I just tanked a semester and have a really weak candidacy this year ( Read more... )
