I should just start naming my blogs after what song I'm listening to at the time.

Err...title unrelated. Of course. Yeah.

On a related note though, I am d to the e to the l-i-c-i-o-u-s.

Classes went reverse of how I had expected. I was dreading the advent of first period thinking that, judging by it being about languages primarily, my early bird class is the one I'm keeping.

Ha ha. No. No, it's not.

The teacher has a very...odd grading system. And she divides the class into tiers. Also, it's not related to languages at all. Judging by the syllabus at least, it's primarily about economics...for some reason.

The other extra class though, I walked in and there was this scruffy looking, unkempt, unshaven, long hair pulled back, wearing baggy pants and a loose dirty sweater professor standing there.

Oh god, he's so awesome. He seems to know absolutely everything about the subject and he managed to talk practically without pause for the full two hours. Which actually made the class seem longer for some reason. I honestly felt like I was sitting there for four hours.

Got some good notes though.


Pic related. It's everything I learned about Peoples and Religions of Eastern Asia.

Either way though, one class is getting dropped, and on top of that I don't have Wednesday classes. So I expect to be a lot more productive, or at the very least start sleeping for decent amounts of time.

Also, my theory that Febreeze can kill anything has been proven correct yet again. Cockroaches will live for for days without a head, but one spray of Febreeze just makes them curl up and die instantaneously. Which is good, because I've been at war with this thing for a good week now. The only thing I have edible in my room is my rice... and I hope to god he didn't get in there, cause it's a good ten kilo bag that I've touched ONCE. He always seemed to be in my trash can though, so I think that's a good sign. I had a lot of partially eaten sweets in there, and I think that's preferable to a dried grain. I don't know anything about cockroach biology though. Maybe they feed on human fear for all I can tell you.

Fanxing is very studious. We watched xXx today and the move was paused periodically for me to tell him the meaning of a word and write down an example sentence. Afterwards we did the same thing with a book he'd been reading. Some things that are sickeningly obvious to English speakers are apparently not immediately comprehensible, and thus are VERY difficult to explain.

But hey, I gave him the gift of sarcasm. So that's a thing.

Not saying much though. Apparently it already exists in a limited amount in Chinese. Japanese speakers don't understand it though. It's just taken as a lie at face value. Sarcasm literally translates to lie in their dictionaries.

Sad, really.
