knackered!

I’m knackered! I went to uni early today.. I was there at 7:20 in the library finishing up a project.. then had classes till 12.. went to the travel agent’s after uni only to find out that the guy hadn’t prepared what I asked for(argh!).. went home.. got in around 1, had lunch.. around 1:30 my sisters decided they wanted to go out! So I said I’d go too.. didn’t fancy being home alone,, we went and watched a movie.. then visited my mum’s friend A whose baby I’ve unofficially adopted, she was sick so we didn’t stay long, my baby I mean.. then went to TGIF for dinner.. and just got back home to find the internet working! YAY! But I’m definitely knackered! And just plain sick! I was ok when I woke up but I started coughing at 8 or so, and now I have a cough, an earache, and a sore throat! I DON’T WANT TO BE SICK! Not when I have finals this week..

Soooo.. im just going to crash now.. then get up early tomorrow and study as we’re going out later tomorrow..

Thanks fefe-chan for the mag, I’ll take a look at it tomorrow since I didn’t get a chance today.*I hope you go to japan!!*

Reemy-chan: Whats up with you? You don’t seem as excited as you should be? *hint* *hint*

Bash, it was nice having you and your sis over but I’ll kill you if you show up 3 hours later than your expected again! I am English you know!

Good luck everyone in your exams once again! Ganbatte!

Cheers.. (trying to sound cheerful..)

PS i learnt a new word this week "niggled". My mum says its not used that often, its more of a slang word, but her friend A uses it a lot and it just stuck! its means to be angry or grumpy or annoyed..

Disappointed but excited..

I'm so disappointed, our Japanese classes have been canceled for at least 3 week coz our sensei is sick. I'm disappointed coz i enjoy the class, but also coz its the only time i see fefe-chan..

Marie-sensei came over this weekend, along with a lot of my mother's friends, which was fun! The whole time i had her little baby girl, who is so adorably cute and such a good (quite) baby :) I also go to interview marie for my "Japanese education system" project.. and she gave me more advice about japan! I'm really so grateful!

After months of studying Japanese, it is so rewarding to listen to a song and understand half of it, if not most.. Although i know the lyrics to all my favorite songs, i'm finally understanding them..

Finally got the internet working, so i spent the whole day working on my independent study course's project and my finance project..

Going to go get our train passes for Japan tomorrow, and drop the visa papers at the Japanese embassy..

Finals start next week.. :( thankfully i only have 3 courses where we have a final exam.. so it shouldn't be that bad after all.. my sisters are starting back at school on the 6th (i think) and i finish on the 7th! yay, i can enjoy the first few days of my hols without everyone hanging around..

Its getting cold, when we sit in the garden at night we have to wear cardigans.. my mum saw me in a jacket the other day and she was like "i think you better cancel the tickets" and i'm like "why?" (panicking lol).. and shes like, if you cant take this cold what are you going to do inJjapan where its just above zero.. honestly, i don't know.. god help me!

Thats it for now.. miss you all.. i skipped uni on sunday but i better go tomorrow, ive gotten used to not having uni..lol. that i dont want to go anymore.. but im forcing myself to go tomorrow..

cheers mates!

20 more days!

Leaving for Japan in 20 days! Can't wait! Everyday-things have become so bothersome, except if they have to do with Japan ;)

I've bought all the things i need, just a few things left. I LOVE shopping, but shopping for winter clothes is the best coz its all new. Coats, jackets,boots,gloves, hats..etc. I'm enjoying buying all that ;)

Can't wait for the 11th! I've changed our plans, were not only going to Tokyo, but Hiroshima & Takayama too.. should be fun!

Marie-sensei has given me so much valuable info so im feeling more confident about going now.. Going with my bro is fun, but he expects me to know where to go and what to do.. so much pressure, but im feeling in control now..

I'll try to update when im in Japan, hopefully with pix too..

I don't have internet at the moment, i'll update when i do.. i might have something interesting to say by then.. or maybe not..! lol

Miss you all :)

Update

So overwhelmed with uni,, when will this hell end?!

Right now im so panicked trying to finish all my projects, but i really don't care what grades i get this semester, i really don't.. even if i get Cs i'll be fine with that.. I don't know why i don't care anymore, LOL, but i don't.. but As would be nice.. ;)

My mum wants me to go shopping for stuff for Japan tomorrow, i'd rather stay home and work but i guess i have to go.. a couple of hours won't hurt, hopefully..

My nana's enjoying the sun LOL although its quite cloudy and overcast these days..

Everyone's done with exams.. off for spring break.. they'll start the 2nd semester on the 6th of Jan i think, and i'll finish the 1st semester on the 7th of Jan. LOL. Not fair, but hell thats life yeah?

What else? oh yeah one thing i forgot to mention, FINANCE SUCKS! ACCOUNTING ROCKS! I'm hating the finance course, and I've never felt this strong about another course, i think its a combination of the professor, my classmates, and the subject.. We had an exam the other day, which was easy enough, and all the girls were cheating.. not a first but it was funny.. half way through the exam i saw my friend Reemy-chan look over to the side and stare for a few mins so i turned around.. since were all sitting next to each other in a U shape.. the girls on one side had a girl sitting at the front show them her answers and each one would copy the answer and then the one next to her would copy from her and so on.. lol reminded me of the "wave" that they do in football matches and stuff.. lol.. and the professor was busy checking his email.. oh well..

Our Special Needs course professor has been gone MIA for the last 5 days.. haven't seen or heard of him, and believe me, I've been looking out for him.. i wonder where he is..

Well, everyone.. hope your enjoying yourself, if you dont go to the same uni as me then you probably are, if your at my uni then i really feel sorry for you.. ;)

Ganbatte minna! only 4 weeks.. we can, hopefully, pull through this hell..

bai bai ^_^

Strawberries+chocolate=Yummy (wrong answer)

Konbanwa minna! Genki?

I haven’t updated in such a long time.. wow.. its been a while..

My grandma arrived yesterday :) which is nice. I spent the whole day with her today since my mum was busy and everyone else was studying for their exams. She hasn’t changed ;) LOL its only 9 months since she left anyways although it seems so much longer. She got us a chocolate fountain! I’m not a really big fan of chocolate, im more of a crisps person, so im not as excited as everyone else.. Another thing im not really into is mixing fruit with chocolate! For god’s sake, their two separate food groups-NOT-! Having strawberries dipped in chocolate is SO WRONG! LOL everyone thinks im crazy but I wont ever try it.. they just don’t go together-in my mind at least..

Bash, my friend, and Washy, my sis, both got kittens this last week.. and both are having kitten problems already lol.. one wont eat and one wont stop throwing up! LOL poor things..

I’ve just realized how close we’re getting to spring break.. well mine anyways.. all my sisters & my bro (and EVERYONE else in the bloody country) are starting their breaks in a week.. except our stupid uni which has the longest semester ever-20 weeks-! We still have about 4 left, and then 1 week for finals I think! Anyways, apart from me getting my holiday after everyone else has already began their second semester, my trip is getting closer and closer! And im not ready yet..lol.. I still need to work on my Japanese, buy warm clothes & stuff for Japan, and plan what we’ll do there..

I can’t wait to get my projects out of the way so I can devote myself to everything Japanese.. but it seems like they’re endless.. im working extra hard this weekend.. hope to get a huge amount done by the beginning of the week.

What else is new? Not much really.. oh, I found out an interesting fact about my uncle John today.. let me tell you, my uncle is a very successful businessman , can write and speak 7 languages fluently, and is a very clever person in general. He is actually a member of MENSA (if you don’t know what that is, its for people with high IQs). So you can imagine my surprise today when Nana (that’s what we call my grandma) told me that he never finished high school. Dropped out when he was 16 or 17 because he was bullied so bad and just hated school.. It got me thinking, my dad never went to uni either but hes such a clever person and a successfully businessman.. its amazing.. but it’s a shame they both didn’t continue their education ‘cause they have potential..

OK I need to go to bed now, im so sleepy.. nemui.. I’ll try to update in a day or two..

Oyasumi!

PS im into this song at the mo, SUGA SHIKAO’s manatsu no yoru no yume. Don’t know about your taste, but I like it!
