So... I'm a lot less grumpy than I was this morning. I finally finished my paper on Structuralism, although it's not a full two pages. I think it'll be fine. Who cares how Torodov uses Saussures concepts in order to analyze narrative plot?!?! Gah.
So, I have to work tonight, still have a few more classes today. I have a french oral exam tomorrow, then I have Literary theory, band, meeting, then I get to sleep in on Friday morning. Woot!
I hope i get my grade back for my political science (foreign policy) exam. I'm not sure how I did.
I'm super busy and I've been grumpy to Rueben. Sorry, dear!

Rueben, I'm sitting up at a computer on the fourth floor of the library by the big windows because our phones don't work. Again.
Ahhh. I also forgot my literary theory book. See, I thought I was suppose to write a paper on this horrible forty page article about reader response theory and it turns out it's on the eleven page less scary one that I actually understood, except the only problem is that I didn't bring my book, so I can't do that paper. But, I did do my paper that is due on Friday for my Victorian Literature and Thought class, so I'm a little ahead, but still behind :(
It's super nice out today and I feel like I want to be outside but I'm stuck in here in the library because that's where Rueben knows I will be because our phones don't work because SOMEBODY didn't pay the bill. I guess we probably should have checked that out after what happened last time. Oh well. I think I'll go through and plan my future now. I'm not doing French anymore. Well, I am. I'm in French 102 this semester, but I'm NOT fulfilling my BA requirement and taking a whole nother year of it and killing myself. No siree. So, that means that I'm switching to a Bachelor of Science which won't be quite so bad and I really only have english class, political science classes and three science classes to take for it. Yippee.
AHH. I'm sick, too. bah. I'm feeling better since I wrote my paper and I know that it's fanfuckingtastic. I feel a little crazy right now. AHH. Woohudotcom. bah. Fifty more minutes until Rueben is done with his lab. Then I can go to the store, get my pills, buy some cookies, go home, write my other paper, maybe, go to uband, go to the concert, go home, go to bed, go to class, go to work, go home, go to bed......

I guess the advantage I have in life is that I use some sort of realism to keep me in check. I know what I can probably do, and I strive for greater things sometimes, but i don't really think beyond that. I just stick to what I know will work and I go with it.
So when it comes do dealing with certain situations I don't think about it too much if I'm convinced that there is only one really realistic solution to the issue at hand.
I see it, but maybe no one else does, but I do.
Its done me well to be in my "realistic bubble" where I know how bad things are and can potentially become...
but damn does it sure make it hard to dream...

:: Mood: content
I'm home with the parents right now. I've been home for a few days since my seniority at work actually got me valuable time off for once. I've leaving tomorrow afternoon, though, because I have to work at five thirty on the day after Christmas, although Meijer doesn't actually open until six.
I'm going to be alone for a few weeks since Rueben is staying down here to work and I have to go back to Mt. Pleasant to work. I've already planned on going on a baking frenzy to take up my time. I think I'm also going to start working out at the student activity center now that I'm feeling better.
And I am feeling better. I've been able to actually eat for about three weeks now. I've gained about ten pounds back, so I don't look so scary any more.
Grades are in, I got all B's and a B+ in my English class, and I'm okay with that. If I can pull all B's while almost dying, I think I did well.
I'm not looking forward to driving home tomorrow, but I think I'll be alright.
It was nice having a few days off, and I'll be ready when next semester starts in a few weeks.

i am so fricken mad and upset
my backpack was stolen out of my car at jess's house. yes ii should have locked my car but i forgot to seriously for the like the only time ever. i never forget to lock it.
and i was even parked inside of her garage. who does that?
yeah and everything was in it... including an assignment that is a complilation of events that we had to go to throughout the semester with signed sheets by deaf people and/or hosts who were at the events. things i can't replace.
and papers i wrote that i saved on a flashdrive that was also in the backpack
and videos i recorded that were saved on a flashdrive that was in the backpack
and fucking books that are fucking expensive that i would have continued to use in the following like... 2 semesters. because we continue to use our books because all our classes are based on sign language.
god
i am so pissed and upset and i seriously take this as a sign just like i do everyting because ibelieve in that crap. i take it as a sign that maybe i'm not meant to be going for sign language because now my grades are probably not goign to be good enough to pass if i can't turn in my journal.
great
dfa;lfjdl;skfja;sdlfj;aksjf;asdjfl; fuck and i dont want to be here at work . fuck this. and i swear to god i'm gonna fuckin throw a boulder at this stupid radio that i can't reach because it is playing christmas music and it is so fucking stupid.adsfd;skfjadl;sfjd;sfjasdlfajdksfjadl;sfjadl;sfjdfj

holy update batman...
So, last weekend I went to Osaka to the aquarium which is one of the largest, and also happens to be next to one of the largest Ferris Wheels in the world as well. Yay for whale sharks, penguins, and wanking otters!
At first you see the otter wanking it and you feel bad for his jiblets... then you just kind of feel bad for the otter...
After said expedition we headed to a McDonald's (I know I know shutup you don't know what it's like) for some cheap food, and sat with some friends and chatted. At this time, Eric tried to convince Kelly to go to Tokyo with them. It didn't take too much convincing but she eventually agreed that it would be the worst thing should could possibly do, so why the hell not.
I soon followed...
Off we went to Tokyo. After a 2 hour power nap of power naps, I found my second wind with some to spare. We arrived around 10 on Friday night, checked into our hostile, and promptly went on our way to Shibuya.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Shibuya_crossing_2.jpg
Shibuya is probably one of the most massive places I've ever been too. I've never been to New York ( never really been inclined to go) but I'm fairly certain that this would kick it's ass. I don't even know why cars try and drive through there. It's damn near impossible.
So after arriving, we headed on our merry way through some back streets, stopping at just about every Combini we could find for a beer. They never really last very long. Finally, we came across a street with a few clubs lined up, we picked on for coming back up, and proceded with getting as intoxicated as you possibly could. Around midnight thirty or so, we head into the club. It was called Club Atom and was a four story bonanza. The first floor was just lockers and such. The second floor was J-pop ( which is fucking awesome in a club setting. Really, you'd be surprised.), the third was techno and dance, and the fourth was hip hop and such. We bounced between floors all night, until Kelly (as always) managed to meet a few people on the hip hop floor which we joined. It was two japanese guys and these girls who I later found out were Korean. We danced and danced and drank and drank until the club closed at 5 A.M. and we had to leave...
we weren't done...
The drunk ass japanese guy suggests that we go to an all you can drink two hour karaoke place, which in our state seemed like the greatest idea ever.
We drank and sang. I talked with this Korean girl who was just slaughtering the Japanese language. I mean, I'm no expert by any means, but being that what I am learning I'm getting through schooling as opposed to just learning ( which isn't always bad) you can hear all the grammatical errors. Makes me think that being Chris must be shitty, because he would be flipping a nut (you grammatically correct bastard). Around 9 am or so we returned to our hostile and slept until 4 PM. At which point we got up, went shopping in Harajuku ( you know, the place where Gwen Stefani gets those Japanese girls she uses as accessories), and then did it all over again.
We also stopped in Shinjuku by a gay bar being that Matty Kupa is our resident gay dude. A gent at that. He is a contender for guys I would go gay for. I've never been hit on in spanish by a guy before, but now I can check that off my list. It's amazing how clique-y the whole shinjuku gay scene is. You can tell the foreigners who can speak japanese because they are only talking to japanese people and they give you this horrible look like you're diseased and not worth their time. Artsy fucks.
After that, same club, dancing, shananigans.
We then returned to Hikone and I took the next two days to recover. It was amazing.
Now however, my sense of adventure is off. I need sleep.
Happy thanksgivings. enjoy the turkey!

I have a french exam in one hour that I am not prepared for.
I'm fairly sure I just failed a math exam two hours ago.
But I think I'm going to be okay, and that's all that really matters right now.
[edit] I think the French exam went all right and I've almost eaten an entire tray of sushi. Yippee.

So yeah... I've got some time so I guess I'm about ready to update you guys.
Been pretty stressful here, as far as classes go. But I've managed to maintain an A- so I'm alright in that department. Plus I got an 88 on the last test with a class average of 62. My theory is that someone just didn't show up, regardless...
I really need to take some pictures of where I am at. I noticed that all my pictures are of me drinking. Not to say that I'm not drinking a lot, a problem I need to find a solution for desperately, but I'm not JUST drinking. I'm doing a lot of things recently. I guess the problem is that I have a hard time taking pictures of anything interesting because I feel like such a tourist. I will do a lot of things here because I don't really care what the people think of me, and it gets me somewhere usually. For some reason, though, I can't seem to take pictures. Soon enough I will get some real good ones.
Speaking of drinking, this weekend is sure to be packed to the brim of fun. starting tomorrow morning I'm going to some elementary school to play games with kids. It's mandatory, which kind of pisses me off. I've already volunteered to do a few of these kinds of things and I'd rather just sleep in, but you know, I guess I gotta do what I gotta do.
So after waking up at around 8 and getting back at around 12, I have 2 hours or less to just chill out for awhile, before I have to bike to the train station to catch a train to Kyoto. Luckily they are paying for the ticket for me. By them, I mean some Women's College of some sort or another. They are loaded, and have decided to pay for a few of us to take a train and a taxi (keep in mind that a taxi is about 2 dollars per foot, fucking expensive) to the school, and then for the ride back. I'm not actually taking the train back though...
Afterwards, Nate, Nick, and I are going to chill in Kyoto and see what happens for awhile. They claimed that the event won't end until 8, and I'm still not sure exactly what we are doing there. I think we are just trying to help them with their english or something, who knows.
So I imagine we'll eat some food, get some liquor, do some shopping or something, and maybe buy a burger and McDonalds so we can take a nap. Yes you just read that correctly.
Around 10-10:30 we are meeting up with Kelly, Yui, Shige, Adam, Megumi, and maybe one of her friends, at which point we will consume endless amounts of alcohol and then attempt to do some clubbing of some sort. This will last, I'm assuming until about 5 in the morning.
Then, I will be fucked, I'll die on the train home, barely crawl into bed and go into a desperately needed coma until about 2 or 3 that afternoon.
I'll wake up, try to get some homework done, and then head out to the bar to bid my friends farewell as they head off to live in Tokyo.
Sunday, maybe I'll rest, we'll see....
I have a meeting with my teacher now for some conversation time so I will catch you chaps later.
だから、今私は先生と話に行きます。今週の週末にとても急がしくなります根から、らいしゅうぜんぜん話しないと思います。じゃあ、まったね。
