02/03/2008: "'If I never go home, I become a king. If I go back it's the same old thing'"

Can't say I've really done alot today, but I did manage to procure things for Valentine's Day for work. Naturally, I must continue my spree of decorating the computer lab for various holidays. Valentine's Day's next up on the list, and I figure I'll have the lab decorated for about 2 weeks. Why? Because I can! Besides, people should enjoy it. Below is an attached picture of the stuff I'll be bringing in to decorate and let people grab/take/whatever.


Valentine's Day Stuff

Other than that, I'm sitting here, neglecting to do my homework. Well, in all fairness, I do have my textbook open, a JPN dictionary loaded up on screen, and a MSWord document appropriately named 'jpn_4**-essay-2.doc'. I really could be doing homework right now.. the only fundamental problem with this is that I haven't started writing yet. But other than a (relatively) short essay on what I think of America's relationship with nature, I need to translate some really old Japanese work (a passage from the Houjouki, I think), and skim two reading passages.. all by Tuesday! So, actually, I think I'm doing okay. The goal is to write the paper today in digital format, and do part of the reading, then transcribe it tomorrow night and do the translation tomorrow afternoon. Should be okay!

Been a pretty good weekend otherwise, just watched some movies, played some games, waited in the line at a government office, and picked some stuff up for work (decorations, see above). I still need to get those ever-awesome tax forms, but.. I guess that's the activity for this week.

I should probably get on to writing my paper, so I'll get going. I'll probably update again relatively soon.. odds are with pictures of the decorated computer lab!
