I AM GLAD YOU STRONGLY APPROVE, SZUTREES.

To be honest, I kind of feel that way too. I thought that when finals were over I'd want to do all kinds of things, go out with people, set up dates, etc., but I really... don't. I just want to sit in my apartment and read and play video games and relish the fact that I am no longer bound by Japanese homework. I would very much like to be an amorphous blob!

But maybe you will feel differently when your papers are done :D
