I am at the library right now... I finished reading Bodega Dreams (oh boy oh boy) which actually was really good, I recommend it. But umm anyways... I wrote down some ideas for my paper so I can get started on it right when I get back. I didn't want to start it here because I don't want to have to attach a word document or some crap to e-mail just to have open office not read it correctly anyway. only 15 minutes until I go back up to the hill though, since chris is out of his class at 2:15 and is going to come here to meet me.
Been feeling much better lately, happier, I'm not sure why, haha, but really kick ass thing, even though my training for work today was CANCELLED (and they didn't tell me, grr) I'm getting paid for it! You see the training is done by different people, and they did not contact either me or Susanne to tell us it was cancelled... they somehow didn't have my email address (don't know why, susanne signed me up for it) and didn't think to contact Susanne or something. So now of course I have to arrange things for my classes next week... I'm taking my vocab quiz that is on wednesday on monday so I can miss Japanese class and not lose any points, and handing in my homework a day early. Plus I need to do the friday lab again for art. I couldn't go today as normal, even though it was cancelled, because I have my project that is due on friday, and given only 4 hours notice with NO pictures (I am going to see if I can steal Kendra's digital camera today since I think she said she'd charge it?) I didn't exactly have the time to get it ready... plus they were expecting me for friday anyway. So I hope that works out.
But aside from that, I think I'm going to maybe start going to office hours for Japanese... to see if the teachers will just let me speak to them in Japanese and help me with things like verb-te-form kureru/ageru/morau/itadaku/whatever. I'm having trouble with that sometimes. I had it straight for the test last year but now all I can ever remember is when to use kureru and itadaku, everything else is fair game lol :)
Besides Japanese being horribly evil because some of the more advanced grammar is suicide inducing, I guess classes are going well... like I said I think I have As in them. I still feel stressed... ugh. It's better than it has been though! I now just need to find a good time in my schedule to visit Ono-sensei or Toyooka-sensei. I think I'm going to need help in order to feel like I know what I'm doing again.
I really hate feeling like one of those kids who goes "uh, what?" to everything the teacher says. Apparently though a lot of kids feel that way. Including those that blew ME out of the water with their Japanese speaking talents in previous semesters. Even the girl I used to think was practically fluent she was so good has been tripping up on stuff. It's so hard for me to make good complicated sentences. I don't know :( Japanese is punching me in the face.
Overall though things are good. Now I just need to get cracking on this paper when I get back to the dorm, and make sure my comp sci assignment is all set since it is due tonight at midnight.
