Could've been worse...

[ORIGINAL POST]

Ouch. Today it hit me like a punch in the face... way too many things due in these last few weeks. There's a paper I have yet to start (not my fault), and some surprisingly hard Japanese assignment (two, actually). Quizzes, tests, finals - don't worry, there's plenty of that too.

Before Japanese class, Sam ended up teaching me some Chinese - just some written words, of course... luckily, I'm already halfway there! Then there was some kanji quiz. We never learned 鶏(にわとり), but 鶏肉 was on there. It was supposed to be 鳥肉(とりにく)... I knew it already, of course. Heh.

Boy, I wish there was a kanji quiz everyday, or that kanji was 90% of your grade. Why? Well... here's (part of) the reason why I cram so much kanji in a short time: kanji = women!

1) It takes a long, long time to understand them...

2) You can't live with them, you can't live without them...

3) They're beautiful... *nervous laugh*

Later on I had to see some old (b&w) movie. I already forgot what it was called. It wasn't entertaining in the least, but I think I still have to write something good about it anyway if I want points. That ending, my goodness... when I said "I'm still waiting for the second part," I didn't mean "WOW! I can't wait for more!", I meant "ok what the heck was that". At least it's memorable, because it's still stuck in my mind. Not because it was "profound" (well, maybe it was), but because I'm still trying to make sense of it. (well maybe that means it's profound...)

Coming home, I got a ride from Terry! I felt bad suddenly springing this extra responsibilty on her (I didn't expect it either), but my house was apparently on her way, and at least we didn't get lost driving in the dark! The ride home wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be - it turned out to be pretty fun. There was actually a lot to talk about (at least for this one time... and how about that - I have the same birthday as her brother!), though I'm sure she probably thinks less of me now. Suggestions for me making up for this are welcome.

And now that not one but two people from my class know where I live... er, that can only be a good thing, right? *nervous laugh*
