"YOO KAN DOO EET!"

batskeetsWell, the chapter test in Japanese was cake, buddy buddy! As usual, all I needed was a lot of kanji practice, and 5 minutes to review the grammar points, and I was set. Japanese seems like it has been significantly easier this term than it was in the the last two... or maybe it's just me? Anyway, now I'm at the jobbyjob, for another 3.5 hours.
God, so much to do in the coming weeks. I have to meet with Todd next week to get my internship paperwork rolling, and I also need to put in a cap and gown order soonish. I have to somehow beat up my group and nail down a time to meet and work on our Comm. Design project, because it's due in less than a week, and I'm kind of starting to panic. I also need to study for final assessments in Japanese, which apparently includes a 10-12 MINUTE ORAL. AAAGGGGHHH! Have I mentioned how much I hate orals? I'm sure I have.
Anyway, tonight = sweet, blissful nothing. I'll probably hang around the house and relax, unless somebody else has a better idea. Tomorrow, I go to Bounenkai with my JSO people! (I refuse to say "peeps". Peeps aren't humans, they're marshmallow chickens!) I'm not sure why, but somebody got the wacky idea that it'd be good for us all to meet at 9:15am. On a Saturday. WHY, GOD, WHY? Anyway, we're probably going to see Finding Nemo after I get back from Bounenkai, and then it will probably be about time for me to go to work. Sunday will involve much studying and homework and projects. Overall, it'll be a nice weekend, methinks!
So. Close. To being DONE. I can't wait.
On a random note, I ran across this quote recently, and it reminded me of probably several people that I have known in my years. Maybe some of you will agree: "I have known no man of genius who had not to pay, in some affliction or defect, either physical or spiritual, for what the gods had given him." --Max Beerbohm, Zuleika Dobson, 1911.
Wow, way to end on a down note. ::laughs:: Anyway, it's FRIDAY FIVE TAIMUUU
1. What do you most want to be remembered for? The impact I had on people's lives. I don't know if I'll ever do anything that will go down in history, but I want to have a positive effect on people. I could do that on a large scale with a cure for cancer or some equally monumental thing, but even if it's only on a small scale, based on the role I play in the lives of those around me, it would still make me happy.
2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life? "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign: that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." --Jonathan Swift
3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year? Well, I made the Dean's List last Spring, and that's pretty cool. I dunno, there are a lot of things that contend with each other.
4. What about the past ten years? God, I don't know. Getting my shit together and actually succeeding in college/work/social life? ;p I think I'm proud of anything I chose to do that stretched me past my comfort zone. Being president of a student org. gave me a lot of responsibility. Organizing Gamex was cool, because I took something simple and made it grow so much. Getting into theatre helped me stop being such a wuss-bag about being in front of people, as did my FLIS presentations. All the things that I've taught myself over the years, esp. in regards to webstuff, are something to be happy about.
5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say? Don't be afraid to embrace what's special about you and just be what you are, rather than what your friends, your family, or your society tells you to be.
