I just switched to Blogger Beta, so don't be shocked if this site gets a complete overhaul over the weekend. Then again, if I get my mandolin, I highly doubt ANYTHING will happen this weekend. >.<;; Except a lot of not-so-beautiful music.

So I've figured something out. If I get up at 7:10 AM, I can get ready slowly, make some tea, and head off to my 8AM class with no hard feelings. If I get up at 7:30, however, I don't have time to do much of everything, get grumpy, feel crappy, and decide to skip. Next week I am making sure to get my ass out of bed earlier.

I really do feel like hell today, though. But I'm not too worried. We had an exam yesterday, and it is Friday. There is no way we're learning anything dire.

I have to read six chapters of Genji this weekend. At least now I know he's not sleeping with his half sister. She's just his cousin. (But the aristocrats were all inbred, anyway.) He bothers me for other reasons, too:
1) Sleeps with a lady's younger brother when she won't give in to him.
2) Sleeps with women who tell him no.
3) Steals children, raises them himself, and then marries them.
4) Finds a random woman in the dark, sleeps with her, and then finds out who she is later. By accident. Because I know I've just had days where I go "hey, a sleeve!" and just *thrust*.
5) Imagines what it would be like if his male friends were female while they are doing the same thing to him.

What the hell, Heian Japan. I admire your loose definition of sexuality, but am terrified of your pedophilic tendencies. TERRIFIED, you hear me?
