10/20/2006: "'The Appropriate Door Fits the Frame of the Correct House'"

I don't have too long, I really should be in bed, but I figured it's been a bit since I've written anything. I also have pictures, so I might as well post those.

My two weeks of midterms, tests, and papers are finally over. I still have assorted tests, oral quizzes (Japanese), and papers to write, but they're at least all spread out, so there's not as much of a crunch to get it all done. I've gotten the results back on all of my tests except one and one paper, but thus far I'm running an A in all my classes. I'm kinda worried about the midterm I still haven't gotten back, but there's nothing I can do about it now.

One of my language partners left last week, which is both inconvenient (I need to find sign up to find a new one today) and unfortunate, because you really get to know eachother after talking for 4-6 hours a week for over a month. The more variety in people that you talk to, the better you'll learn, so I guess there's some positive side to the coin.

On a personal level, due to continued problems with people around me and some.. 'inconvenient' stuff going on in my life right now, my mood hasn't really changed much. If anything, it's gone for the worse. But, not much can be done about that now. Rain or shine, I still go to school, and the sun always comes up the next day. Blah. I really should talk to people more, I guess. I kinda just shut off, and have been reading alot more as of late. At the very least, I need to get some books I haven't already read. It's kinda boring otherwise.

Anyway, true to my word, I really do need to be up early tomorrow (to print up a paper and study for a test), so I'm going to get going to bed. The pictures I mentioned are under "more.." in this entry.
