These things probably should have each had their own entries, but I'm lazy. So, a quick overview:

Last Month: I started taking some drugs to hopefully clear up my skin. It's not like it was terrible, but I'm sick of looking like a teenager :P They're working too, yay! But I can't drink for the next 4 months. I'm starting have dreams about vodka :/

Last Week: I joined a karate club! I've only gone twice so far, but it's been super-fun :D Even though I pretty much suck (even at the warm-ups)

Just now: First time I've bought something online since the financial world went all to hell. Damn, that exchange rate hurts!

Next Week: My one and only exam. I only need to get 75% to get an A+, so I'm completely unstressed. I wish there would be something to show for it to motivate me to make more of an effort.

Next Month: ...I lied, I have another exam. I'm giving the JLPT 3-kyuu a go. It might be a bit much, I have a lot of vocab I'll need to memorize before then. But I thought the 4-kyuu would be a bit too easy, so. I'd better study a lot in the next month.

Next Year: Hopefully (admissions committees willing) I'll be going on exchange in Japan in B Semester :D So excited! (as long as I don't think too hard about it, because then I just get terrified XD )

~ I tried Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for the first time ever yesterday at work, after hearing about the mythical things for years on the internets... I don't really see what the fuss is all about. They were too salty for me :/

~ The Teddy Band t-shirt is the cure for all ill in the world. Seriously. Last night at work I was really stressed and angry at everything, and saw how much there was going to be to do today and wanted to cry... this morning I put on that shirt and went to work, and despite finishing half an hour late I was in a remarkably good mood all day :D

~ Relatedly, shouldn't I be working less during exam leave, not more? I've done an extra 4.75 hours on top of my normal 16 this week.

~ Ahaha, apparently a couple of the guys from Sample Reception made out at a party last weekend? Awesome.

~ Dumbledore was gay?! Extra awesome!

~ Exams = not so awesome /o\ First one on Wednesday. I should study lots more (I've written out more study notes for this one exam than I did for all of last semester's put together already! But then, last semester I didn't have to do so well on the exams to make up for shitty coursework). But I'm um, going to the Labour Day races on Monday with Tracey? Because I'm not going to be at work on her last Saturday before she leaves for Australia, and I can't go to her farewell drinks on the 6th because I have an exam the next morning, so I couldn't say no to this as well.

~ Online journals are little filters that we each see every one else's lives through, the parts others choose to share with us. That said, we all think we are close, but really we seldom know *a lot* about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

ETA: instant messaging, yay? I downloaded Trillian today as a start in my quest to become more active on the internets now that I'm going to have a lot of free time. Add me if you want, though I don't promise any kind of interesting conversation. MSN: smart_girl321@hotmail.com (a rather outdated email address!) or AIM: steffishaims
