Heigh ho, Heigh ho

It's off to bed we go.

I really should be sleeping right now. I'm exhausted from the last few days. I'm still feeling that walk through Beppu from yesterday and I'm sleep deprived. Everyone seems to be exhausted at this point though, which is probably why the Tenku Festival is this weekend, as a chance to relax. They plan this stuff EXACT. Scary.

I woke up a bit later than I intended and rushed through my morning routine so I could make it to class on time only to get stopped by a 7 year old. Him and his mom and brother were standing there and they were foreigner spotting for his school assignment. He had to find 3 foreigners to talk to and ask questions in English and I was lucky number three, and I'd be a real jerk to deny a kid. So he asked me where I'm from, what kind of Japanese food I like, and what sports I like (I had to lie about that one. I said baseball cause I don't think the kid would have any idea what I meant by hockey...not that I really care about sports in the first place. Woe is me). Nobody seemed to care that I was late though, as there were three kids that came in after me, so that worked out nicely and I filled my good deed quota for the day.

I had to go to see a guest speaker for class. I got pics, but I'm too tired to post them right now, so check the photobucket later. I should put that link up like I said I would.

Anyways, Yuan showed up and we yoinked some of the guest assembly food and then I went to my next four classes (yaaaay).

In Traditions this girl who I worked with in a group once sat next to me cause she was freaking out about the attendance and then seemingly forgot about it. Cause she passed out. Right away. And she kept falling over in her sleep and landed on my a couple of times, in which she'd instantly wake up, look confused, and realign herself before passing out. I can't say I blame her though, the only reason I was awake was cause I had a coke (not the nose candy). Frikkin 90 minute minimum classes back to back for 5 periods. FFFF-

In Interpreting we had to translate a paragraph from Japanese to English and recite it to the class. My paragraph was essentially reading a list so...yeah, REALLY easy, and I pretended like it was hard so the non-native speakers wouldn't feel bad. They all look so nervous when they get up there and read it off that it's kinda depressing. I helped this one girl when she couldn't remember the numbers by doing the show of hands thing, but I did one wrong and she said 5 instead of 50, to which I waved frantically and corrected her but she still looked embarrassed. We talked after class and now we're friends or something like that. So hey, fun times.

Also I popped open that 5 dollar milk I bought. That stuff is delicious. Will buy in the future. I'll probably be the weird guy drinking that instead of liquor with his friends. I really don't care. Nectar of the gods.

Unless I can find some mead. I probably read too much Thor or something, but I needs to try me the ACTUAL nectar of the gods. Or was that ambrosia? Was ambrosia a drink? God, I can't think this late.

Here's a youtube link for you.

I promise it's not the gayest thing you'll see this month.

All your complaining about 90 minute classes... jeez. An hour an a half? Seriously? POOR THING. :P

Also, ambrosia was the food of the gods. The drink of the gods was nectar. You were... half right. Sort of. The nectar of the gods *was* nectar? :P

...that video is so gay... I... you are a liar. You now have a week to find something gayer and I'm positive such a thing does not exist!

I'm allowed to complain about 90 minute classes. I'm not an art student, so my major requires normal length classes which are basically half that length. So double classes as the minimum time tend to get to you when you're used to much less ;P

Dude, even most of my non-major classes were more than an hour, and most other majors still have to deal with labs- it is not just an "art major" thing. You've just had it entiiirely too easy. Suck it up, mister! XP

Verification word: throk. I feel the need to define this word and henceforth use it regularly. Does it not sound like it should mean "to beat with a blunt object"? The english language can always use more synonyms for that.

Throk was the name of my Orc on WoW from when I used to play.

So yeah, that'd probably suffice as a meaning for the word.
