Exhaustion
Omg, i feel so sore. My feet are killing me. My back feels kinda painful. My eyes feel dried out from my contacts and just not sleeping enough. And today was my free day where I got to do whatever I wanted. But wow... did not expect my body to give up like that today. I should probably stop relying on caffeine beverages to keep me cool and ( Read more... ) -
Friends
It's currently 6 AM here in Tokyo. Yesterday my jetlag finally kicked in at the wrong time. The night before yesterday when I arrived I had a huge diet pepsi-- or so I thought. Instead I slowly realized it was a Diet Pepi Max. I slept like 20 minutes every hour so I didn't get that much sleep. Combined with no sleep on the train nor the car ride to ( Read more... ) -
Arrival
Well, that was a trip. Kinda exhausted but so glad I'm actually alive and well. To be honest, I'm glad my constant worrying allowed for this great relief at the end. I'm okay and on Japanese soil once again ( Read more... ) -
BLITZKRIEG!
I just wasted an hour trying to do a mission in Valkyrie Chronicles. It ended with me being raped by a tank pretty badly while sending my units just like moths being attracted to a bug zapper-- rushing in futile.
I'm a horrible strategist... and wasted an hour of my life ;_; At least I'm getting better at this, if only school wasn't in the way :/ -
Rudeness
I don't know what kind of affect the funeral had on me yesterday. During it, I had visions what would happen if I was in my cousin's shoes, like if someone close to me died like my sister or mom-- I'd probably be torn apart too. It was really sad seeing my uncle cry as he told the story of how he met my aunt and the hardships he faced in life, like ( Read more... ) -
Hypnosis
Today there was a hypnotist act at the dorms. I was interested in seeing it but the cold weather wanted me to retreat back to bed. But then one of the people I met here invited me and I couldn't put down her cute face ( Read more... ) -
Tiny Overview of Life at Cal
UC Berkeley's semesters are weird... Right now it's a week before finals. I guess they reserve this week to make sure no new material is crammed into our tiny brains of ours so that we can cram-- I didn't think the top public university in the nation did that kind of thing. Well, fortunately for me Japanese class had finals last week which ( Read more... ) -
i'm kinda pathetic
I just finished writing a huge paper that I spent a ton of time writing and research on. It turned out to be 14 pages with my tons of footnotes and bibliography but I felt like a champ. I wanted to celebrate with people until I realized I don't have anyone close so... I'm glad you exist, my LJ :) -
Transition
Well, I've just about set up my things in my dorm room. Move-in day was okay... could've been better, but thankfully it could've been A LOT worse. I'm kinda glad I chose to wait until after the morning rush to move in-- I didn't get to choose my bed but I moved in within an hour. My roommates are both from Southern California so my portion of the ( Read more... ) -
My god...
I found out today that two people at my job are retiring. Both of them leave at the end of the week. It's sad to see them go, but at least they're happy with retiring, especially with how times are now. Some people are worried about them and I can see why but if they get the money they're promised upon retiring, might as well make use of it now ( Read more... )
