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?

ARGH

My stupid Modern Japanese Lit paper makes me want to choke on my raspberry italian soda.

::EDIT::
Five minutes later I have an epiphany. I am so many sorts of awesome all rolled up into one. And currently raspberry cream-flavored. Even better!

Well, it made Kei laugh hysterically. Another joke meant for the informed.

My "t"s are starting to look like "na"s.

na= ナ

Kei: "Yeah, that happens."

カタカナが きらい です。 ＝＿＝

しゅくだい　を　しました。　わたしは　じょうず　じゃ　ありません。いま　クラスへ　いきます。

I just memorized thirty katakana

*clutches head* allow me to share my pain with you.

a - i - u- e- o= ア　イ　ウ　エ　オ

ka- ki-ku-ke-ko= カ　キ　ク　ケ　コ

sa-shi-su- se-so= サ　シ　ス　セ　�
ta-chi-tsu-te-to= タ　チ　ツ　テ　ト

na- ni-nu-ne-no= ナ　ニ　ヌ　ネ　ノ

ha- hi- fu-he-ho= ハ　ヒ　フ　ヘ　ホ

these are all different characters:ナ、オ、ホ、フ、ク、ケ、ヌ、タ、ネ、シ、ツ、ソ、ノ、ヒ、セ、イ、チ

Tomorrow I will remember NAAAASHHHIIING!
