My day is over, hooray! And ugh, I'm feeling all out of sorts right now. I'm 99% sure of the cause for that, though, so no worries. :) I'm currently trying to get up the energy to go exercise, but it's not really working. ;pppp I worked out yesterday, though, so I think I can just do some strength training today and call it even.
The paid psych experiment today was *terribly* tedious. It was similar to all the other paid experiments I've been guinea-pigging for recently, except that the wait times in the program were so... much... SLOWER. It'd flash one trial up on the screen, and then I'd practically fall asleep waiting for the next one. But I was paid for 2 hours this time, so I can't really complain. :)
Japanese went a bit better for me today. Kirishima-sensei seems like he might be a funny guy. I almost wanted to cry for the first 5 minutes of section, though, because on the first listening clip, they were speaking terribly fast. As in, native-speaker-fast! Kirishima-sensei said, "chotto chotto hayai," after playing it. Chotto?! I was starting to feel less retarded by the end of class, though, because the grammar point really isn't tough at all. I just have to get reaccustomed to listening and speaking again.
And for some reason, every time somebody says "DAME!!" in class, I think of Alyson's Crazy Okaa-san. LMAO!
I'm also kind of disappointed that there's no assignment yet in Programming For Artists. After all the scripting and coding I've done in my day, these first few classes are probably going to get tedious with beginner stuff. ;p I'm ready to start playing with things now!
Anyway, I should do some reading tonight, so I'm off!
P.S. Note to Self: Tomorrow, you must send money to ローレン!
