ITS SO COLD OUTSIDE! NOT OKAY! There is a blizzard going on outside. Its so bad the university cancelled classes after 5. Unfortunately, I don't have any classes after five. Not even on friday. I have a class that starts at four and ends at six, but otherwise nothing. I'm hoping that they cancel morning classes...that would be nice. Its not supposed to be over till tomorrow afternoon, so there is a possibility, but its highly unlikely.
I've also been reading two really awesome things. One is called Scandinavia and the World. Its a web comic created by a person from Denmark and it makes fun of americans and other European countries.
And from that I learned of Hetalia. It is a web comic turned Manga from a japanese artist. Its great and I love how the countries are portrayed! Especially the relationship between America and Britain! XD America eats a bunch of junk food and is loud and always calls himself the hero! Its awesome! It mostly centers around Germany though, because its about the Axis powers since Japan was part of the Axis. Still, funny and somewhat accurate though. ^-^
Okay, not really, I just finally have a few minutes to myself. This last week has just been really busy, and now I finally have some time to study before my two exams this week. I have a midterm already. Blegh. Needless to say, I'll be doing a lot of calculus and trying to understand Psychology.
I've been trying to raise a plant! Thats right! I'm in charge of a living thing! Can you say bad idea? The larger of the two is still alive and doing very well I might add. But the little one just looks bad...I don't know if its going to live...my cat bit it before I could get it away from him, and that little part isn't doing so good. Poor little guy. Only three leaves are still green and alive.
Other than that, I really just have work to talk about, and I doubt you want to listen to me talking about my students and how I am completely oblivious to when I'm using slang, but I'm going to tell you anyway. This afternoon was my favorite. I was talking to a student from Niger and he was about to walk out the door when I asked "Where are you off to?" He got so confused, and I didn't know why until I realized I should have asked him "Where are you going?"
Oh americans and our funny slang!
Needless to say my homework is killing me. I really just want it all to be done, but it just doesn't work that way...and I have to do laundry now too...blegh. I just want to relax and watch random anime and be HAPPY! ...even if I like some of the homework. Its just too much.
I love getting new Japanese students. We get at least two every semester from the T Company. Every year, i am put in charge of them and anyone from africa. And every year, I surprise them by answer a question they are asking each other in their own language. Just the look on their face every semester is enough to keep me going. Same with most of the kids from africa, cause most of them speak a form of french. I love being multilingual.
Anyway, that happened on monday and I forgot to talk about it. I really want more hours at work, but I haven't been able to talk to both of my bosses.
Other than that, I finished the third series of Doctor Who...epic...and all I have to say to those who have seen Doctor Who is The Face of Bo. Ya, that was epic...also I went onto mangafox and realized just how many manga I had been there for the first chapter to come out and now they are complete. I remember waiting sometimes months for a new one to come out, and now kids can just find them and finish some of them in a single day. I'm getting really nostalgic this week, probably because I finally feel like I'm separate from my family.
But ya, I should probably stop avoiding my Electrical Engineering and Calculus 3 homework...damn...
Two things to start off. One, I love Sacred Ground. Its a song by Jon Schmidt and if you've never heard of him, go look him up on youtube. He does some amazing work. And I knew I needed to use one of his songs for this theme. Two, I agree with you shadow! I have always been fascinated by religion and the symbols they choose. So of course, the cross is one of my favorites, followed by angels and demons. Thus, the reason all my cross pictures on my MyOtaku site right now also have demons and angels in them.
I used to be religious, but as I grew older, I started thinking more about it, and decided that I'll worry more about religion later in life, and that logically it makes more sense to be atheist. Woo me. Also, I have been on this site a very, very, VERY long time because I can apparently send 12252009 number of gifts...that is an awful lot...
Ya, so I get to go to work in an hour and I'm just basically killing time. My Electrical Engineering class made me angry this morning mainly because my professor showed me something that I needed to know last night. I didn't end up going to bed until around four because I was doing equations the long way, when I could have just plugged it into a calculator and had it done for me. Bleh. So now, I'm sleep deprived and I have to go teach english...this is going to end badly.
