Day 382: Odin's Day...
Nov. 8th, 2006 08:13 pmIs the longest day of the week for me. I'm on campus from eight till six, and it's tougher than it should be, just mentally. Ten hours at school is just - long...
Mythology was fun today. One of the girls did a presentation on Pele and Hi'iaka', and tried to show us some of the Holo Mai Pele online, but as is with technology today there was a massive glitch, and then some of the others tried to get me to go up there and dance. Yeah right. I can't chant for myself worth crap. But all of a sudden I missed dancing. In life, what random skills I have are all low-level. Like, I have huge mods in grammar, writing, speech, reading comprehension, argumentation, logic, that sort of thing, but stuff like the guitar and violin, piano and dancing and drawing, it's as if I never put levels into them after first level. Dorky gamer terms, I know, but I feel sort of sad that I never finished anything. Or got really good at anything...I don't know, unique.
Dickens was fun. I've never worked with Greg in class before, and we talked. He's the only guy tutor at the writing center, and we're technically on a committee together, and we're on shift together more often than not, which is all cool with me. CJ was as annoying as ever. I really am starting to despair about that class, but at least the test was moved back till Monday. Latin is getting seriously complicated. I'm gonna have to get down and study pretty freakin' hard if I want to understand the coming chapters. It'll give me something vaguely relaxing to do this weekend. I think I can do all right if I just buckle down and memorize things, like the fourth and fifth declensions, verb participles and infinitives and stuff. Gack.
Nanowrimo is...going. I'm writing at a fairly fantastic pace, all things considered, but it's one of the lousiest novels I've ever written, mostly because I'm doing an experiment and it's going badly.
Today was just long. I went to school when it was just barely light and came back to the flat when it was just barely light, a good ten hours later. Yay.
Shakespeare - I only have to read Act I of King Lear. I've never read it before, so I'm pretty excited. And totally nervous about the whole final paper thing. I don't know what the hell I'm doing in this class, really, but have been getting along all right so far.
Last night I sort of rediscovered Namie Amuro. I like her ballads and stuff, which end up on Inuyasha more than anything, but I also discovered that Japanese hip pop isn't as terrible as I always imagined it would be (I also like Orange Range). Namie Amuro is pretty damned cute, too, and a very good dancer. As much as I love V6 and those boys are adorable and incredible acrobats, their dancing does leave something to be desired. Namie and her girls are awesome little hip-hop dancers. I also like her style. So I've been watching her music videos and listening to her songs. Go me.
I watched Bones tonight, mostly because I wanted to see the boxing. This time around, David Boreanaz was a nice bonus. I like boys who dress sharp, and I am a total sucker for a boy in a zoot suit. So sue me. I think my brain is more or less ready to call it quits, which sucks, Mondays and Wednesdays are the only days I can afford to stay up, but at the end of them I'm always tired. C'est la vie, non?
Still, I can do it. I will make it to Thanksgiving. Watch me.
Saizou thinks I can do it.
