meh

i'm posting mainly 'cuz i know if i don't now chances are i won't for the rest of the month. but really there's not much to write about, besides new semester crap.

my new schedule:
20th Century History with Noblitt
Art II
Huskins Psychology
Japanese III

20th Century promises to be interesting. a lot of reading and writing, Noblitt said. i'm good at writing. =3 and the mere fact that Noblitt's teaching will make this an entertaining class, at least some of the time.

Art was a space-filler, i never expected too much. this first part we're doing is drawing, which is both good and bad. good because i likw drawing, bad because i tend to be a perfectionist and thus take too long, and also bad because some things i can't draw to save my life. next will be sculpting, and i couldn't say whether i'm excited or hesitant about that.

Psych so far is a bit boring, since it's a lot of lecturing and we haven't gotten into the overly interesting stuff yet. we will and that's gonna wrawk, 'cuz some of the stuff in just this first six weeks of general psych is fascinating to a geek like me.

Japanese... ooh boy. Japanese III student = Japanese II sensei. Hayashi-sensei has three levels of Jap'nese in one classroom. she focuses most of her energy on the Jap'nese I who have no clue what they're doing, and give the II and III worksheets to keep them occupied. since she has three III students and four II students, the III students are charged with helping the II kids.
i will say one thing: without Chris Brown and the idiot brigade in there, it's not nearly as bad. Eric and Strepo, two of the guys who always kicked up a racket last semester, are actually not as bad without the influence of Chris and his posse.
still, when Kepaato-san is in a misanthropic mood, she makes a bad sensei. even though she remembers a lot of the stuff that Dan-san forgot from his Jap'nese II last year and even the stuff Rongu-san forgot from last semester. granted some of the stuff escapes me, but Patrick still fails at remembering days of the month. -shakes head-

by the way. Kepaato-san = me. translating english into katakana and back into romaji makes for a garbled end result. ((romaji = english characters))

IN OTHER NEWS. i am now addicted to Breaking Benjamin. thanks for showing me their music, Garrett. =3 'tis awesome.

oh yeah, i just remembered something else. my old Nokia piece of junk phone has been acting the spazz lately. i think the battery is going dead. either way, i hate the damn thing. and after Ma's old Blackjack took a swim, she had to get a new one, right? but the old one, after it dried out, still works perfectly. so it was a simple matter of prying the back off my old phone, retrieving the SIM, and slipping the SIM into the old Blackjack. Ta-da, i has a snazzy new phone!

i like this thing much better than my old one, and even figured out how to customise the profiles and home screen and whatnot. yay for me! but i'm an indentured servant for a few weeks to pay for the use of her old phone. i'm not complaining 'cuz i know it's fair, even though i hate dusting and vacuuming with a passion.

anyhow, that's it, i think. peace owt.
