Been awhile... again!

Hey there!

So, it's been awhile... again. I've been really busy with school. Argh!! Why did I decide that I wanted to do school again? I don't know!!!!!! ;-)

This past weekend was a really good one. Ended up having a nice Saturday night... just chilling with friends, eating okonomiyaki, watching the Olympics, and playing Winning Eleven. I've decided that playing video soccer is never going to be something I'm good at... but that's something that I can live with. :-)

I'm going to have a very busy week again... but I'll definitely be going to kendo on Wednesday. :-) YAY!! It'll be so good...

Hope you are all doing well. I'll try to do better with the blog!! Promise!!!

Morning!!

So... This week has been a WHIRLWIND!!! I have been reading my research stuff non-stop and locking myself away into my room in order to get more stuff read. ARGH!! This must be what grad school's all about, eh?

What do I get to do to de-stress? I take a break from reading my research stuff and switch to my class reading or translation. Heehee! Don't I sound like a sad case.

Anyway... forgot to send out an email... but if you read this regularly could you send me your phone number. My mobile phone drowned in orange juice last week and I lost all my phone numbers... so if anyone reading this ever wants a call from me... PLEASE send me your number.


Later... hope the end of the week is good to you all!

ARGH!!!

Argh!! I am being irrational I'm sure. And I could possibly be accused of being a silly cow... but I am so irritated with two of my roommates.

This morning, in the middle of studying, my best friend Melissa called. So, rather than being courteous and soft-spoken they talked loudly in Swedish to each other and basically forced me out to the lanai. Then when I come in... all of my studying stuff had been "tidied" while I'd been in the middle of studying. VERY ANNOYING!!

Then I came home to get some stuff to study at Starbucks during the Super Bowl (had no vested interest, so therefore didn't find a need to watch) and our apartment is full of people watching the game. Apparently they invited people over to watch, thus the cleaning (can't call it that because it was such a half-assed effort) blitz this morning.

Now, I know this is silly, but I don't mind tidying up my stuff if people are coming over. In fact I'd be happy to... if I knew that people were coming over. And I get highly annoyed when my stuff gets moved without asking because no one decides to tell me that they're having people over. (Very circular logic, but that's how I'm feeing right now.)

What's even more annoying is that I am constantly cleaning up after them in the kitchen and doing the same things over and over again (is it that HARD to put the toilet paper ON the holder??)... and neither of them seems to realize that it's annoying! ARGH!!

Yeah, so there's my big, long winge about roommates. The only good thing... they didn't touch my kendo stuff! Haha... Anyway... needed a vent!
