It was my birthday on Friday. It was pretty much the greatest thing ever, so that was awesome.
Today was my nihongo no happyo.. in English, Japanese presentation. I did pretty well, I think. One guy in our class was totally useless - after we had extensive help writing these things for the past 2 weeks - and if looks could kill, Sasaki-sensei and Shirai-sensei...

I am dying.
No seriously.
I threw up in class on Friday (well, ran out of said class and threw up in the bathroom, thank god - I don't know the word for vomit in Japanese) and although I desperately didn't want to be in class anymore, that's not QUITE how I wanted to make my exit. I think it's just stress but wow. Normally...

I'm feeling you on the whole end-of-semester-sickness thing. Not only have I vomited once already, but I have this new thing going on where I get these insane earaches that make my head feel like it's on the verge of exploding.
Uh, on that note... Hang in there!

I hope you feel better soon! Good luck on your final paper.
It snowed in Nebraska today! *squee!* Sadly I am not there, instead I am still freezing in Japan. As it winds down to being crunchslashfinals time, I become more and more suicidal. I calculated it out: I was in class for 28 hours this week. And we have Friday off.
28 fucking hours. Dear Jesus. You know it's bad when other Japanese students say 'wait,...

I was actually happy that it snowed too, I kinda missed the white stuff. I very well may be losing my mind. 28 hours of class is quite impressive, I wouldn't be able to do that; twelve is enough! Oh, and don't kill yourself over finals, that would make me sad.
Anyone know what happened to Izzy? I saw a post of hers on a thread today and she was grayed out. And being lame, I can't seem to find the archive/unarchive thread on the boards anywhere. Too bad, since she was waiting for her second set to be posted.
In other news, I went from being able to drink 2-3 drinks an hour without getting...

omg new Fractal set!!
I'm stressed and my body is telling me by causing my piercings to flare up. Yuck. Soon, the canker sores will appear.
It's all downhill from here, really. All I have left are my gigantic presentations (including a group one for business class that stresses me out more than anything - I'm not good at being a team player) and then...

Post-post-vacation update:
In our hostel in Hiroshima, there were bedbugs.
From the tits up (including arms but not actual boobies) I look like I have chicken pox, sans my face. But my back (thankfully none on my tattoo - maybe they tried and said 'hey, inkstained blood tastes gross'), arms, and neck are covered with bites. The ironic thing is though they itch like hell,...

Post-vacation update! So we had our akiyasumi or fall break last week. I hit up Kyoto, Nara, Himeji Castle, and Hiroshima. Wow! I'm exhausted. I took approximately 400-500 pictures. My travel buddy, Rachel, probably took closer to 1000. It's ridiculous. My favorite thing was probably Himeji Castle, because more or less the whole castle grounds were preserved (most of the castles are JUST the castle,...

Poor persons diet? That's ramen noodles! When I think Japan, I think ramen noodles everywhere!

I wish so much I could travel somewhere interesting. You're lucky!
Still alive. Japan is still rockin but I'm ready to go home.
Tonight is 6 hours of karaoke and all I can drink in alcohol (which is a lot, mind you, especially compared to these sad Asian drinkers, which is ironic because Japan is a country in which alcohol is pretty much required at social functions).
Here's two things for you. One, go to my...

Oh, I know how a monogamous long-distance relationship is like. 
But the good thing about it is that you get time to think about your relationship and figure out if he's "the one" or not.

Hi guys, still alive. I've been one busy motherfucker and I am exhausted. I've been clubbing, eaten octopus (twice - once in some fried dough ball things that were yummy and once on sushi. It doesn't really taste like too much but is really chewy), drinking a lot, studying even more. We've got midterms tomorrow but I'm not too worried.
Next week...

There's a new India set up and I am so sad I can't look at it. Damn you Japan and your bizarro porn issues.
Classes are classy. Harajuku fucking rocks. Seriously, if you ever go to Japan and you like punky kids (which you should if you're on here) you have to go to Harajuku.
Engrish is the greatest thing ever. Right now I'm wearing...

So you can access your SG blog in Japan but not the photosets? I agree that Engrish is the best thing ever.
