04/19/2006: "[Library] I'm early"

Current Sounds: A symphony of typing, clicking, and whispering.
Currently Feeling: So.. dreadfully.. tired

Well, I'm early.. and by quite a significant amount, so I naturally decided that a productive way to waste my time would be by rambling and posting these thoughts into a massively public forum.

Didn't sleep much (for a variety of reasons: went to bed late, couldn't sleep, woke up several times, etc), so I'm not exactly coherent nor the most entertaining person. But fortunately, I finished all my school work that needs to be done for today, so there shouldn't be any problems (if it comes to it, I can reasonably make it through the day without being awake and giving half-hearted, semi-sensical replies). If this were Japanese, there might be a problem. I notice that when taking a language class, it takes a much greater toll and requires more attention than any other class. Not that this doesn't make sense. It's an application class, that's taxing your brain to work in different ways, to come up with dynamic answers, etc. Other classes are, regardless of subject (except math perhaps), are most memorization classes, not application. I just need to know how campaign finance laws work, I don't need to conjugate it into causative-passive form and then make a sentence.

But this is all pretty random.

I don't have classes tomorrow (teacher's out of state, so not much can be done), which means that I have a 4-day weekend. Not too shabby. It should also help for the poster project I need to do for one of my classes, which I still need to do some of the research for (did I mention that it's due in 5 days?). Other than that, I think I'll try to kidnap someone tomorrow, if available, to go out and do something. We'll see how that goes.

That's about all I have for now. I'll probably go wait outside the classroom and read a book until the previous class leaves, then find my seat and continue reading. Almost done with this book on Japanese history (it's into modern-times now, about the 70s-80s), no idea what I'll read after this.

Off I go..

Ah, and yes, I really need to post that picture from the speech. I have a decent one, but I just haven't gotten around to it. I will soon.
