Mid-June!
お母さんは今週の金曜日来るんだよ～
楽しみ～
そうだ、幸いに、中間テストの成績はそんなに悪くなかった。よかった。でもさ、今ままには、最後のグレードはたぶんＢかもしれない。まあ、whatever.
Aoyama Thelma is in my NCT (Nature, Culture, Technology) class, and she presented yesterday with her group on Africa. She's pretty average-looking, petite and tanned with minimal make-up on. If you didn't know who she was, you wouldn't have noticed it was her. But her English is pretty good though.
Speaking of presentations, my group's was quite a disaster due to the time constraints. 20 minutes max, 6 presenters, everyone is vocal and had plenty of things to say. So my part, which was allocated 4 minutes, was only given like, 45 seconds ): and later when we went to ask the professor, all he said was "oh, don't worry about it". hell no, I'm gonna worry about because it's my grade! ):
RAINY SEASON NOW!
and the weather has been cooling down, which is pretty awesome i say, but i don't have proper shoes to dodge the rain. my pretty green flats which i bought with cherie nabe last year...are already destroyed ): RAIN BOOTS!
have been meeting with many new people though, which is really fun.
new friends from other universities and different cultures.
songyan was here, with his friend christy.
it was fun, fun fun!
hope xiuling will come too (;
so a speech about japanese women and fair skin,
two more NCT essays
one more Christianity presentation
two more Christianity essays
many more Japanese quizzes and tests
one more Japanese final exam
one more Christianity final exam
one more final Drama performance
one more Drama review!
cool.

two months in, and it's already June
Hello again!
It has been two months since I last blogged, and it seemed appropriate to jot something down here before abandoning it again for the next two months. Well, in the next two months, I would be in a different country and this blog would be rendered pretty much useless.
So within the two months of the spring semester, I knew I have gotten myself into deep scholastic shit. Little point of elaborating here, since the ones I've told are the ones whom I wanted to know. So thanks, for listening patiently and cheering me up. You're the best.
Individually, my life in DK itself hasn't changed much. I still keep myself to my room alot. 一番好きな場所だから。I avoid the kitchen plainly 'cause of the smell it gets onto my clothes. However, with the new group of students here, it has become more exciting with new friends mad and more gatherings and outings. Of course, that also means spending more money ): Well, in the land of Japan, that can't be helped.
I applied to take the new JLPT N2 in July, which is about a month away, and hopefully I'd be able to pass this time. That means I need to be better prepared. And that means I have to improve my reading and listening. Knowing Chinese is a double-edged sword honestly. I can't remember how many times I've accidentally written a kanji in simplified Chinese, but not knowing how to read but understanding the meaning has helped in understanding certain phrases. Oh yes Japanese 4 has been a pain in the butt. My goal was to achieve an A in this module, but after this morning's disastrous mid-term examination, I'd consider myself lucky to get a B now.
Oh, for those who are unaware, I got myself a new laptop, a brilliant blue Sony Vaio, because my Dell decided to go bust on me on a Sunday afternoon. If only the school computer lab was opposite my home, I wouldn't have decided to get a new one so easily. Alas, having to travel an hour odd to school would be silly, not to mention it's not even a 24-hour lab, it doesn't seem worth the time and effort. Anyway I'm very happy with my new blue cool, albeit everything is in Japanese. Thanks to my brother's spec recommendations as well, if not I wouldn't have known what to ask the staff in the electronics store. Windows 7 looks pretty awesome and I'm loving the download speed in Japan. (:
In case I haven't written this down in the previous entry (I don't proof-read what I write in my blog you see), the subjects I'm taking this semester are,
Japanese 4
Nature, Culture and Technology (Cultural Studies)
Christianity and Japanese Culture (History, although it's really Theology)
Topics in Performing Arts (Creative Writing), my favourite subject just 'cause
By the way, Rui Xi, you're too cute tonight ;)
いつもかわいいと思うけど
じゃ、ピース～！
