I had a dream that I, along with my two younger siblings, lived on the streets until we were captured by a rich man who swooped us up in a bag and brought us to his home. My siblings took to him easily enough and didn't mind living there, but I couldn't stand it. I hated him, I hated living there, and I just wanted to be free. And so, the rest of the dream included my thwarted attempts at reaching freedom. I was always found, always caught, always taken back to the house no matter what I did and, despite never being yelled at or smacked around, I still persisted on leaving.

It's hard for me to be a good girlfriend when I'm such a shitty person.

Taking Mum and her pets to the vet today.
We'll see how this goes.
Also I got an A in Japanese Literature, as I expected, making my final GPA for this semester 3.850

Why did I never know about this site?
It's not that I'm worried about my own computer handling programs, but I get sick of Mum and Jake constantly asking me if theirs can and making me find out their Specs so I can give a definite yes or no.

Japanese: A
Religions: A
Literature: (probably an A but hasn't been released yet)
Writing: B+
*shrug* Better luck next semester, I guess. But I'm taking a math class so I doubt it.

I found a black-and-white film called Blue Denim and decided to give it a viewing. It was made in 1959 (apparently based on a play from the year previous) and was nothing like I'm used to when it comes from films of that era. The family wasn't perfect, no one had all the answers, and for some reason the sexism really stood out to me. (And that the wife was utterly stupid. "What's biology, Ernie?") I was also taken aback by the subject matter it addressed, primarily teen pregnancy and abortion because, again, this is from the later 1950's and Roe v. Wade wasn't decided until the early 1970's.
For addressing the subject matter, I was really impressed with the film. But the rest of it, (particularly the music placement) was kind of laughable. The acting was okay.

Two down, one more to go.
This final was easy and only took about 35~40 minutes.
I just need to write my paper (which sounds more intimidating than it actually is for some reason) and review for tomorrow's final.
Then I can spend all my time on TIMM (so much new information! Mars has a job, Chuck had a crazy dream, and it appears we need to go to a restaurant! Kind of buggered there is no connection to Colorado so I just have to sit back and watch others do it, though) and the Love of Smit and Yuki-chan (the SIMS robot).

So my partner was late (even though she doesn't live far away from the school and we didn't go until around 9:10AM and class typically starts at 9:00AM), meaning I did my oral with the teacher.
It was okay, though, and everything went somewhat smoothly. I was kind of poor with giving instructions, but so was the teacher because she doesn't drive at all and the assignment was to show how to backup a car and turn it on (yes, in that order). After the first couple of phrases about how to turn on a car by the teacher she said, "unten suru no ga dekimasen," and so we skipped the rest. :D
So it was fine in that aspect.
When I left the room my partner was standing around, waiting. She had to do it with the teacher too, obviously, but I didn't care to stick around to find out how she did.
Final exam is on Saturday!
Solis-san recommends I watch Kinpachi Sensei but... the acting is so bad, I don't think I can manage to get through it all. I'll try, though, because I need distraction from studying!
I don't have class until noon tomorrow, which is pretty exciting.

One of the final projects for Writing involves giving a presentation on the most important thing you learned this year (academic or otherwise). After giving your presentation, students are meant to ask questions and, to help encourage questions, we're all assigned to someone and given a small preview before hand of their presentation so we can prepare questions.
I got an e-mail about one girl's presentation, which is about learning trigonometry. "Then in physics, I learned about circular motion and oscillations and suddenly it just clicked as to why radians are quite possibly the most important unit ever invented. With trigonometry, you can figure out why there appears to be a centrifugal and a Coriolis force in a rotating reference frame. Sine waves pop up everywhere! It applies to light, sound, springs, planetary orbits, and Ferris wheels."
I understand "Ferris wheels".

I got a reply about Pete!
"Wow, thats a classic, I'll try and get that one in. That was a chore to even read.
Thanks Katrina!!"
PS: Stephen Fry does the voice of Reaver in Fable 2. :D
It was really obvious it was him.

I have been playing Fable 2, which has somehow managed to give me the feeling of constriction and too much options, and have been progressing through it quickly and without any problems. Aside from having an obnoxious dog who is completely useless during battles and having the ability to marry and have kids (I married once, couldn't figure out how to have sex, and proceeded to attack my husband so he would divorce me), there's really nothing remarkable about it. Voice audibility has improved, but many new "adjustments" are really annoying. But at least there is no old man telling me my health is low anymore.
Anyway, seeing as I'm a (relatively) goody-two-shoes, I have been leading a fairly angelic lifestyle, with only stealing being my bad part. Your actions have more impact in this game than in the previous game and your decisions actually do alter quests and the physical world around you, as well as your outer appearance. Because I have led this sort of lifestyle, I helped a certain farmer. Apparently, by helping him, I managed to cause his diddly farm to grow into some rich enterprise.
Long story short, he asks me to help find his son a wife. He had set him up with other women before but he always ran away from them and was hoping I could find someone for him. A quick talk with the son revealed he wasn't interested in women because he was gay. So I found him a man and then he confronted his father about not wanting to take up the farm; as well as his sexuality.
Long story short, I found it very interesting that the game had a pretty serious discussion between a father and his son about homosexuality.

I had a dream I was snapping the necks of baby turtles in order to kill them. They were all stunned so I thought nothing of what I was doing until I accidentally dropped one. It's shell was just starting to harden and had cracked. The turtle had "woken up" from this and was trying to run away. It was only at that point that I fully realized what I was doing and became disgusted at myself and upset at everyone doing it with me.
BIRTHDAY TOMORROW
TOMORROW I'M BIRTHDAYING

I had a dream that I went in for my shot. The clerk behind the desk was a round woman who immediately directed me to my doctor: Mr. Gooderman.
Mr. Gooderman took me to a large office and had me sit in a chair directly opposite to him. He started talking to me and eventually wheeled out a large white board, where he wrote words that I couldn't manage to read in my dream except for "PRONUNCIATION," which was written in an orange-red. (The rest were in blue.) We talked for a very long time before he eventually left the room and didn't return. Confused, I went back to reception.
"We're about to close, you're too late for an appointment."
"But all I need is a shot and I came here five-and-a-half hours ago. He was just talking to me the whole time!"
"Who was your doctor?"
"Gooderman."
A passing doctor stopped and growled, "I hate that man."
It was quickly agreed that we must hunt him down and force him out of the medical business. The dream ended as we entered the dark, cluttered basement of the hospital, beginning our search for "Gooderman."
---
My shot went well. Everything happened quite speedily, it actually didn't hurt (meaning this nurse kicks ass at giving shots), and now I have a band-aid of Taz. I just realized that although, officially, my vacation starts on the 24th, I also have the weekend off before that meaning that I can go home with David! (If he's willing to take me.)
Still only 4'11" (and "a quarter," which I think they add to make me feel better about myself.) And only 108. Take that, Freshman Fifteen!
