Tuesday, September 30, 2003 07:52 p.m. For the first time ever someone else is using the drum kit, and I can practice. I nearly freaked out when I peaked into the room and it wasn't there. Some band is rehearsing in a bigger practice room. Grrr. Ahhhh why does Japanese have to make me feel so stupid. I was really frustrated in class today and I had to keep reminding myself that all this stress over Japanese isn't worth it since I'm credit-noning that class. But it still really sucks - I don't feel like I'm learning anything yet I put all this energy into the assignments and still end up in class not understanding anything. Risa suggested dropping the class but I don't want to do that, I wanna learn something, dammit, and besides, if the rest of my family finds out they're gonna all be like "told you so." But rrrrgh! I was expecting sensee to go over today's reading assignment in class like we usually do because I went through and translated the words but I didn't actually understand the reading. But instead she didn't go over the reading, but kept giving us questions on the reading to answer, and every time it was my turn to read aloud the question or answer it I basically couldn't do it. She didn't go over the reading at all. *sigh* So I just need to keep reminding myself that it's only one course and it's credit-non, but it still gets really frustrating in class, especially when everyone ELSE knows the answers so perfectly... Goddammit I really want to bang on some drums right around now. Stupid people hogging my drums. >=O Tuesday, September 30, 2003 10:19 a.m. I think I just wrote the lamest conclusion to this 271 paper. *huff* Well, at least done is done. Monday, September 29, 2003 12:01 a.m. I emailed Aimee-chan's "haabaado no tomodachi" today. I really hope he does respond to Aimee-chan. C'monnnn, work! Work! Or else Asha and I are going to break down and cry. Sunday, September 28, 2003 01:43 p.m. My drumming seems to have started some kind of localized craze. Thursday after a training session Kitsu, Yilun, and this other girl I don't know (but who apparently is the *original* holder of my email name - GRRRR. No, not to the girl, just GRRRR in general) all pounced on me to ask for my drumming instructor's contact info. Yesterday Tarja and Te were playing with the drumsticks (which I had on me for some reason - was I gonna go rehearse after the movies? Well it was past midnight when we left the Science Center so if I was gonna practice then I didn't afterwards). Right, what was I doing now? Oh yah, work. *sigh* Sunday, September 28, 2003 01:04 p.m. Oh wow, I never knew how acid-tripity Labyrinth was until I watched it last night with Te-chan, Izzy, Kitsu, Tarja and Joy. What the hell was all that about the "codpiece"?!?! Can't you guys just let me reminisce about my childhood INNOCENTLY? And Te, why are all the Labyrinth links I keep clicking on lead to dead-end sites? But ahh, it's nice to reminisce... They just don't make fantasy and children's movies as good nowadays... too much CG makes them all look the same... Saturday, September 27, 2003 01:52 a.m. Now I finally know why you wanted to do ballet this year. Quack. Friday, September 26, 2003 04:30 p.m. Absotively posilutely need to gripe about something, but can't... must wait until after it happens that I can complain about it... yaaaaaargh! Friday, September 26, 2003 10:20 a.m. Happy Anniversary to the 'Rents. They (and my sister in Cleveland) are in for an interesting weekend. They're going to meet up with a cousin of mine in Cleveland and her parents from Texas who are visiting her (my dad's sister and her family, basically... so we call our aunt and uncle Texas Gomo and Texas Gomoboo - "gomo" and "gomoboo" being Korean), and another couple-friends of their who also has a daughter, so 9 people all together for dinner. I've never met my Texas cousins or my uncle, only my aunt once, like way back in junior high for like 2 days or something, and I've never met these other friends of my parents'. But oh well, knowing my sister, she'll be quick to spoil my cousin and the daughter of the other couple, since she just does that. (I think spoiling cousins gives her an excuse to buy stuff she doesn't need.) It's wet and yucky outside and my throat's been sore for a few days. Gulag. Thursday, September 25, 2003 04:47 p.m. Aimee calls me a rebel for skipping 271 today. HA! Wednesday, September 24, 2003 04:08 p.m. I don't think Einstein's brain would help you in math because remember he didn't do that well in school when he was a kid. Don't know if that applies to his senior year of college, though... Wednesday, September 24, 2003 04:01 p.m. You didn't tell me you had a blog!! Wednesday, September 24, 2003 03:31 p.m. Wow, am I unable to keep track of time. Lately when I sit with someone at the table I have to ask them when the last time I saw them was. Can't believe it's Wednesday, AGAIN. Am so tired right now... But the slow streak in jobs seems to have ended! Quite a few jobs came in today and I was in a frenzy to get some (I think I worried the bosslady today - heh). One of them is a 10-hour all day event, too. So, I can rest easy about not earning money, because these'll definitely keep me on my feet for a while... But they still haven't told us how we can submit our hours online for these jobs. Keeeeeh. I hope the payroll people get that figured out soon... Like I said, I'm losing track of time... thank god for Wednesdays where I can relax a *leeetle* bit since I don't have class. But uh oh. Talked to the maternal unit over the weekend (I think it was the weekend??). She asked if I had this bracelet she'd given me for my last birthday (or Christmas?), the kind where you pick the little squares and charms yourself. Some kind of Italian bracelet... eergh, anyway, she was asking about it the other day because she said she had new charms to add to it. I kinda gulped and went, "Uh, yeah, of course I have it!" but I just checked my jewelery box and I don't!!! Freak! I don't know where it is and Mom's gonna be mad if I don't have it. I'm *pretty* sure it's somewhere at home if it's not here because although I've been tempted to toss it (it's really ugly!! and the thing keeps catching the hair on my arm so it hurts too), I'm certain I haven't done so yet. Freak freak freak. Why does Mom have to keep buying me jewelery I don't like?? (Except the ankelet for graduation, and that I don't wear because it's been leaving black marks on my ankle lately.) Ahhh, like I need to add to the things I worry about @_@ Tuesday, September 23, 2003 01:03 a.m. HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, B! Tuesday, September 23, 2003 01:02 a.m. You know, if I try to add "sarcasm tags" (it's a Community thing), they don't appear on Pitas? It's these symbols: < and > Tuesday, September 23, 2003 12:37 a.m. FUAAAAH!! Why is Monday always the crunch day, even when it's in disguise as the fairly-easy-on-my-poor-ass day? Firstly I'm despairing that no one on campus these days wants to hire a videographer or a projectionist. I mean, COME ON, PEOPLE. You used to hire us ALL THE TIME. You couldn't get enough of us! Now the jobs coming in are barely a trickle (and it still doesn't help that a certain person has claimed more than her fair share of proj jobs -- *ahem*). I need money - how else am I going to pay for these drumming lessons? Prostitute myself? YOU DON'T WANT THAT! If you want to keep your idealisms in prostitution high then don't force me to try that because I promise you I will scare away the business. Secondly, no one seems interested in keeping Peaceful Justice moving along... at tonight's meeting I was the only member from last year there - everyone else were first years. Which is exciting because we need new blood =P but at the same time I am TOTALLY uncomfortable taking charge of the situation here, which I had to do tonight. Please please, I only wanted to be a follower - where IS everybody?!Thirdly I learned just today there's a march in Boston on Sunday sponsered by ANSWER demanding to end the occupation of Iraq. I'm interested in going to this, but 1. it's very short notice for me and 2. I'm not sure if I'm totally on par with the idea to pull out all the troops now. Because, much as I hate to admit being the realist, if we pull them out now, how does that help Iraq since *we* bombed them? Are we just gonna hit and run? At the same time troops are still dying ( On a more positive note - the door to the drum room was fixed =D so I went in tonight and am getting better at "We Will Rock You." I feel like relieving stress right now but since it's after hours I guess I can't get into the drum room. Guess'll have to settle for the drum pad =) Monday, September 22, 2003 05:58 p.m. STOP READING MY BLOG AND DO YOUR WORK!!!! Sunday, September 21, 2003 06:48 p.m. Someone's fansubbing the anime Anne of Green Gables!!! Oh I've been waiting for this for so long. I can't wait to see what Gilbert's like. Sunday, September 21, 2003 09:51 a.m. Naturally, only *our* government would want to imprison a little old lady for providing humanitarian aid. Grrr. Grrr. This site is trying to help Faith Fippinger - read the first post on the forum by Judith Karpova if you'd like to help out too. Saturday, September 20, 2003 10:07 p.m. No, I'm still up in the air about the LSAT. I bought that prep book but have I touched it? HAH. Saturday, September 20, 2003 09:08 p.m. I went out with Kitsu today to go buy my drumsticks and a drum pad. Wow, Jack's Drum Shop is really cool. The manager there knew my instructor already and was very friendly - a little quirky but entertaining. But the store's definitely fun to look around. Kitsu ended up buying a set of drumsticks too while I got the drum pad, stand (priciest item, ooch), sticks, and some manustript paper. You could wield the stand at an attacker if you wanted to, it's pretty heavy. Anyway, so we took our time looking at other areas around Back Bay and then off to the Super 88 in Allston for food and grocery shopping - huzzah, Super 88! But it was later than I had anticipated when we finally got back to Wellesley and I took Kitsu to the music room where the larger instruments and the school's drum kit are held. We toyed around with our new sticks (wheee) but then when we tried to close the door - which has had issues for quite a long time, I'm sure - just as the door hit the frame the handle came off in my hands. OOPS. How embarassing. Kitsu and I tried tried tried getting the handle back in but it wouldn't go... luckily the door couldn't be open after that so we knew the stuff in the room would be safe, at least. But it was still kinda silly, it just came off like that!
So, I'm getting all hyped up over learning and practicing the drums, but I mentioned that the door handling coming off must be a bad omen, and Kitsu said "Don't say that!"... Oh, and I changed the layout of the page. I'm probably gonna change some more now that I know how to add images. Thank you for your help!
