And that's a wrap.
Sep. 11th, 2006 12:46 amJAMS meeting was, as always, a blast. It was nice hanging out with the crew from home. Watched a Pokemon movie in Japanese, and thus got to find out that Pokemon isn't really that bad - much like sentai shows, Pokemon took it on the chin when it was recast for the American market. Watched some Gundam Seed and the demo of Dead Rising, and then stayed on for the Simpsons (where we finally found out why Krusty Burger is the only fast food joint in Springfield), Family Guy, Futurama and the Venture Brothers. Then I came back to the base for resting and refueling. Class tomorrow. If I get ambitious, which I should, I'll pester the library to loan me out the book I should read for Tuesday. and spend two hours with a music player trying to digest everything. Hopefully catalouging won't be too bad, and I'll try not to fall asleep in any of my classes this time around. (We hope I can avoid the sleepiness thing.) If anyone has any good tricks on how to stay awake in course, even when running on proper amounts of sleep, let us know.
Two links for tonight - snake eats ewe. Bit and swallowed more than it could handle, really.
The improbable happens - woman who won $1 million in a lottery wins another $1 million. If I had half her luck...
I'm actually a little nervous about my schedule - although I shouldn't be. I suspect that once I have assignments, my usual "work-until-you-die" mindest will kick in nastily and I'll know exactly what to do with all that free time - channel it into proper projects and such. I'm also trying to puzzle out a couple other things, most of them relating to the fact that there is now light at the end of the college tunnel. It's not the "I'm in my third decade of existence and haven't done anything significant yet", but rather, "Soon, I'm going to have to start making all the decisions on my own. And suffering all the consequences on my own, too. I'm not going to be able to hide behind university after this." You know, the really scary bit where I step out into The Real World and pray that there isn't a weight attached to my ankles that I didn't notice before. Until then, though, I'll enjoy the time I have here, when I'm not trying to work myself to death.
