Luckily for me, Naomi has issues with authority, and signed me into her overlapping class despite the department giving a flat out no.
Apparently no one wants to cooperate with me to make my schedule for spring quarter work. Overlapping classes is hard... but it's the only way I can fit it into my schedule.
Must email Naomi... will do that now.
Nine more classes to graduate...
How do you pass the time during a flight? What do you bring in your carry-on?
Usually I bring a book, but last time I used my lovely MBP to watch MirrorMask
You're trapped in a (temporarily) out of order elevator - who would you like to be trapped with?

A magician. Perhaps he could magically untrap us, and if not, we would all be thoroughly entertained.
RIT was closed today due to the weather??? Impossible! And yet...
I figured I should update, I know it's been a while.
Christmas came and went, I barely felt it. I got some wonderful gifts and had a good time being home. But the break had a lot of rough points. I did get very, very depressed about my Aunt Mary, whose cancer has returned for a third time, and this time, she is not getting chemo... which is not a good thing. That just means it's going to keep getting worse (I don't think her hollistic therapy is going to work at all). Also, my grandma fell down and broke her back in two places.... we had to put her in a home, but she's only covered until Jan. 25. I have no idea what we're going to do, it's too hard to take care of her by ourselves, especially with Allison and I at school... I don't know how my parents will handle it.
School is just stress. I'm not having fun anymore.
I can't wait to go home for Christmas!
I'm excited to see all of the lights on Semple Drive. =)
David & I exchanged Christmas gifts today (even though it's early) since we won't be together for the holidays, and we had some time to ourselves (and who knows when we'd have that again). Good thing, too, because I cried really, really hard when he gave me my present.
He liked his. =) Even my silly sentimental gift, which was a statue on which I put an engraved plaque. He loved his fencing things I got him too.
And he got me... a necklace, with five sapphire stones on it. And I bawled, I was so completely touched by it... I have always wanted a sapphire, but he has always been good about sticking to budget, and I never expected he'd actually get me one!!!
I'm so proud of him, too! His work is being recognized by Important People!
Well, today certainly didn't start out very good. The fire alarm went off during my last hour to sleep... it scared the crap out of me, and I had a hard time finding my shoes in the dark with the strobe light flashing. Then, on the way to school, Dave and I got pulled over by the crazy cops. He got a ticket for having his parking pass hanging on his mirror. On the way to school we saw another person pulled over, and on the way home (this time, me on the bus alone) I saw two more people pulled over. I think the cops are having a field day or something.
Sometimes Japanese class really frustrates me. I love it, because I love the language and it's great to be refreshed... but I still feel really far ahead of everyone else. Sometimes I feel like the class goes so slow, and the things are so easy to understand, but people just don't get it.
So today, we were going over あります / ありません (arimasu (to have) / arimasen (to not have) for those of you PC users that can't see my Japanese text).
So, yeah... I love the class, but it's very easy... to the point that it can be frustrating at times.
I'm very tired now. I needed that extra hour of sleep.
