Juxtaposed in Japan

11/28/2005: "Waiting for class to begin"

Nothing but the silence and my thoughts

In the classroom waiting for class to start right now, should have about 10 minutes or so until it begins, but I really shouldn't be on long anyway (technically, I should be studying for my Japanese test tomorrow).

Someone, remind me to not sleep. Oh, sure.. it seems good in theory, but in practice, not so much. Between the less-than-ideal dreams and dark thoughts, feeling, and image you're left with when you wake up, I'd say it's fairly debatable if it's worth the effort. Now, if only it wasn't for the whole 'body needing to rest' thing, we'd be set. Gah.

Terribly cold today. Of the "bitterly cold, I really don't want to go outside" variety. The high was 58° today, but that's plenty cold for me. Washington in late December will be even colder, but I think I'll make it somehow (mostly by not leaving any vehicles or buildings if I don't have to).

Have all sorts of tests and papers crawling in on me as of late, plus the lovely crunch of the holiday "wow, I don't have any money" season. I've already given up on the idea of going to Japan next summer (really, really sucks.. but it just isn't possible inbetween school and everything).. blah. The next few weeks (until classes end) will be a lovely experience of me wandering around and feeling as if my head's going to pop from the stress and workload. Sure, some of it's my fault for not better partitioning my time.. but can't really do much about that now.

I should get going.. need to sit down and stare at some kanji, then argue about my grade a bit once I get my test back. Gotta love math. I'll try to write again when I have a chance, but between all the papers I need to write (works out to about.. 33 pages, give or take), two Japanese tests, another math test, and preparing for a Japanese oral presentation, I'm not sure what kind of time I have. We'll see.

So.. off I go. No real point behind this entry. Just had some time and figured I should make some pointless commentary on my life (and we won't even touch Thanksgiving. We just.. won't). I would go into my speech on being the helpful, NPC, background character of life again, but I don't quite have time to do it justice. I'm sure I will soon.

Aww i hear you Jason on background character feeling...luckily no one around for me to feel that way..or not so lucky not sure on that one...that relaly really stinks you can't go to Japan...i feel for you...Let's talk sometime soon k?i have six papers and a presentation in this week and next week. THen finals wekk but we can manage to talk in the midst of all that can't we? i hope so...
i hear you o nsleep too.i barely get any. i just listen to music and rest my eyes because i actually feel worse when i get some sleep from the nightmares. Avoiding the nightmares is so worth it but comes at the cost of what you were saying the whole body needing rest thing. Damn bodies...
*sits by you* Care for you.
