Random Babble

I've been doing little other than studying kanji lately and its driving me crazy. My final for kanji is on Monday and I've not yet finished the section. My stack of notecards is two inches high and counting. I just want to make above a 30% on this test. That's all I ask. But, I still need to redo the group project... Alone this time because I was booted from the group because... Because. And, I have yet to start my regular winter break homework. I cleaned my room and did my laundry today. Because of this I only learned 30 new words worth of kanji. Tomorrow I scrub the bathroom and run errands. I've got around 60 words left before I go back through the book to check for words I've missed. And, I'm pretty weak on readings. All this studying has made me dislike myself rather strongly and I find myself doing my best to ignore when people try to compliment me off hand or ask how I am because giving an honest answer would just make people dislike or angry at me. Actually, I'm sort of avoiding most people here lately. I'm just sick of... People. There's a weird atmosphere around here lately. I can't put my finger on what it is but I've got Akane-level people poisoning because of it.

Oh fuck... That reminds me. They made me wear a kimono for New Years and go out in public. I just wanted to die I looked so bad. To top it off all the drunk rude freaks were out on New Years Eve and I was cornered a few times by scary men and more than a few people laughed at me and secretly took my picture. Ugh. Never wearing a kimono again. Ever. Worst experience so far in Japan. For real.

I'm sorry I'm slow to respond on Facebook... For some reason it only loads half the time on this network and computer. I blame all those bull crap applications they've allowed in.

I really really really want a snake lately. I'm thinking if I can get a job pretty quick after I get home in seven months I'll just buy one... Though I'm still concerned that I've never lived with a snake before and I'd probably kill the poor sweet baby, but I'm dedicated and I'm willing to give my all in caring for a beauty. I just day dream about what kind of enclosure I'd want to make and holding a little bitty baby as he slithered across my fingers. So cute! I keep watching YouTube videos of people playing with theirs. I'm just torturing myself, I guess. I've almost decided on what kind I want. A Blizzard Corn Snake would be the coolest, but I'd take whatever I could get really. A Snow Corn would be ok too I guess. Anything but orange. I used to think that red patterned snakes were the prettiest, but I'll admit watching Fruits Basket made white snakes seem cooler in my mind.

I also must say... I really wish I wasn't Super Nerd. Sometimes being Super Nerd sucks.

Afeard.

Today I cleaned Space Bathroom. While Space Bathroom is the number one best thing Japan has, Space Bathroom has a dark side. I discovered this today when I had to clean out the drain in Space Bathroom. The horrors I have seen I shall never share. A whole role of curiously tinted paper towels and an entire spray bottle of odd yellow cleaner later, Space Bathroom sparkls liek teh anime now. Again.

I also finished my laundry and sorted and neatly folded all my clothes. I also vaccumed. I also cleaned out my notebooks. I also put up new pictures on the wall so my little hovel of a dorm room here more resembles my apartment back in the states. I also ran errands and stocked up on everything I was missing. My living space is 110% organized and clean. Even my shoe rack is tidy.

...unfortunatly all this took most of the day and I only learned about 10 words for the kanji final. Two more days to start and finish the project and learn around 50 more words. Le fuck. I want another week of break.

But, when my living space and computer are both neatly organized and clean, my mind is clearer.
