I love this song...

Very handy debt planner.
In other news, I realized today that my Washington Mutual account has been closed. Which isn't a bad thing, really, except it makes me wonder/worry about cause and effect. Anyways, I've decided that I'm gonna stick to my guns and make a $100 payment every month until that bugger gets paid off, which should take me about 9 months. I would like to get off my butt and order my annual credit reports, though. (Or maybe I should just order one every four months?)

[EDIT: In case anyone wasn't clear on this: I. Hate. Reading. Survey. Reports.]

and that's that (for a little bit, anyway)

w007! 15/15 on Quiz 5!
I now have 78.7/80 points in the class, with this 15 point paper due at midnight tonight and a 5 point self assessment due tomorrow at midnight.
HOWEVER:
"Students will be allowed to turn in ONE assignment late. However, the late assignment is due prior to the beginning of the next week without a 25% reduction in grade for that one late assignment."
And since I haven't turned any assignments in late, I'm just gonna do the self assessment sometime after Japanese tonight or on Tuesday, and do assignment 3 after my Japanese oral interview on Thursday. *sends the teacher an e-mail to verify when "the beginning of the next week" is, among other things*

But for now, seeing as I have to catch the bus to work in a little over 3 hours, I do think it's bed time.
(Of course, when I get up I get to start worrying about all the Japanese work I still have to do. ><;)

P.S. Le Chemin just came on, and... Damn, I hope I can listen to Kyo soon, because they're such a good band. :-/

reminds me of when I used to ask for people's Speedy Cards at Jamba and names at S.A.

Yeah, at work at the MN Deli today? I totally asked a customer if they wanted a boost with their Krispy Kreme donut. I think I'm a wee bit sleep deprived. ^^; (Either that or it's just my inner ditz rearing its head once again.)
Well, that's what this can of Pepsi I brought to the U with me is for. *pets the yet-unopened can*
I think I may head home after chadou today (last class :-/) to take a shower and pick up the kanji worksheet I seem to have left behind.

こんなに簡単な文法を使わない方がｊいいと知ってるけど

茶道が終わっちゃった。
やはり、私が一回写真を撮るべきだったね、他の皆さんがいつもちゃんと毎週行ったから。
I asked the teacher about getting a magic number to take the freshman seminar as a student next semester, but she said apparently they're pretty strict about only letting freshmen take freshman seminars, and she's not too keen on letting me just sit in, since once (if) she gets the 15 people needed for the class to not be cancelled, she wants as few extra people in the class as possible.

今晩大学に帰りたくないなあ。 But at least I'm clean now. ^^;

P.S. 手伝ってくれて本当にありがとう、トリちゃん。

yay, Engrish

Nastassja is going to briefly procrastinate by copying something straight out of the first episode of Sailor Moon S (specifically, Usagi's English proficiency exam):
One day, Mr. Ikuhara went to Roppongi to do nanpa. He was (1)tired after a big work. So he applied for comfort to any tender girl. [cut off] he was caught [(2) ] new-half.

Uh huh... Obviously they didn't copy this from a real exam. Or at least, I hope they didn't.

天野景子さん、
私の作文を読んで、あれについてコメントしてくれてありがとうございました。あまり上手に書きませんでしたが、あまのさんに「Fuuuuck... I've been home for an hour and a half and I've only written three sentences which are almost exactly the ones in the example e-mail.」
