"I'm not dead!"

Me sleepy. Caffeine boost injection is in order.

Lesson learned: a doctor's note can move mountains! :O Seriously, I've gotten an incredible amount of understanding from my profs thus far. And today, Iwakawa-sensei offered to postpone my quiz until Friday, so hey, I can actually practice the kanji. :O What a pleasant surprise!

I just finally tried some Vitaminwater, per rdorothy's suggestion from months ago, and *dang*, it's surprisingly good! I didn't think a non-crappy flavoured water actually existed. :)

So, today I work, go to class, and try to finish my workbook by tomorrow. D'oh. x_X Oh, and I also go watch some B.S. video and get van certified this afternoon. Then I will be allowed to drive the 15-passenger beasts that are the DDS vans. Ph33r! :O

Random thought: when you're a self-proclaimed nerd/geek, it's sometimes kind of neat to get away from your usual gaggle of fellow nerds. Because then, people are suddenly just soooo impressed that you're working on some dippy Illustrator project. ::rotfl::

That is all for now.

"It's hard doing this backwards."

Heh, so van training was cake. They basically told me stuff that I'd already heard mentioned previously at work by Reen or Dan, like how the 15-passenger vans have a high center of gravity, and what good following distance is, yadda yadda yackity schmackity. All they really had us do in the way of driving is have us practice backing up using a spotter who was outside the van. :p The van they had us use had reeeeally touchy brakes, too, so everybody had jerky stops. ::rotfl:: But hey, at least it's done now, so I can drive T3H DR0NK BU5!:O

I am actually pretty proud of my latest illustrator project... in spite of the fact that it's probably ass. ::rotfl:: designer_fetus said it looked almost professional, so that's something. ;_; Maybe I'll post it later, if I'm not too busy/exhausted.

I am remarkably awake right now, which is good. I have to crank out the entire workbook for Japanese, uh, tonight? ASDKFSADLKFHASLKFHASDKLFH!! That's what I get for not checking my Palm when I'm not feeling well.

Oh, I think I'm being liberated from class now, so I'm off!

"Who are you?"

Question for the locals: Anyone know who owns the phone number 346-0442? I keep getting calls from that number while I'm in class (and thus, the phone is on silent) or some such thing, and I don't know who it is.

And I also don't want to call whoever it is and go, "HEY stop calling me while I'm in class, asshat!" or something. ::rotfl::

Dammit, rhyn, "asshat" *IS* a fun word. ::rotfl::

So this post isn't a complete waste: here's the aforementioned illustrator project, exported to JPG. It's my mp3 player! It could use a bit more detail, which I might add sometime when I have time and energy.

Bleeehhhh, I should probably think about dinner and Japanese workbook right about now. ::poof::

"No, no, no, stupid, you've got it much too high. It's down here where the shoulder meets the neck."

Vulcan nerve pinch! Vulcan nerve pinch!!

Say what you will, but Enterprise has its moments, damnit. :D

Haha, the phone mystery is solved. It was work calling to ask if I wanted to work tonight! ::asdlkfhslkdfhaskldf:: Unfortunately for them, there is no power on this earth that will get me to go to work tonight on 3 hours of sleep, so bwa ha ha ha. :D

I got through approx. 2/3rds of the workbook, and I'm leaving it at that. I figure I can conk out early tonight, get up early tomorrow, and finish the last wee bit. I can't concentrate well enough to do it right now.

Dinner should be ready soon, I think now! Yee!

Blah, I know I have more to say, but I'm too muddled to recall it. I go now.w
