11/01/2007: "[At Work] Just a quick note"

Got a Japanese quiz in about 20 minutes, followed by another midterm an hour after that. Super-awesome-excited..gar.

I'm tired of having weekly "If you Fail, you Die!" tests. I just don't feel devoted enough nowadays to care about the small details on how humans remember (or forget) things. I really, sincerely, totally don't care. Here's me. Here's caring. Do you see how we don't really interact and/or have any mutual interests? No? Well that's probably due to my less-than-stellar example that I just wrote which consists of only text on a screen. If I did a mock-up in ASCII art, it would've been totally awesome (and clear), I assure you.

So busy nowadays, too. If it's not one thing, it's another, there's always something that I either need to do, or have to prepare for in the future. I'm tired.. but sleeping isn't really much of a possibility when you have a bunch of tests that you need to actually know a little something about.

On a less dire, dramatic note, I got a credit card last week. It may seem like nothing of note to anyone other than myself, but I've thus far avoided taking any credit offers for the past few years of my life because I firmly believe that if I don't have the money, I have no business buying something. Alas, the world works in funny ways and people actually WANT me to carry debt so that way I can buy houses and cars (with the hoojillions of dollars I'll undoubtedly be making as an English teacher in Japan) in the future. I have no idea why or how this is a good idea, but I didn't make the system, so don't blame me. It's just weird.

I also went trick-or-treating last night, and took two students from the school I work at out with me. Pictures of that would be up today, but alas, my camera is at home and I'm at work/school (but neither working nor schooling.. hmm). I'll get on that soon-ish.

I gotta run and study for that Japanese quiz.. I'll write again soon


School

i hear you. so many tests and papers in the next couple of weeks. i don't knwo if your school has a fall break in the middle of the semester? Ours doesn't. We have it at the end of november (for that stupid holiday) so we basically get fall break a couple of weeks back then finals and winter break. Its absurd ot not have one in the middle of october. i'm so exhausted and run down myself.
