Only one week left...
I went to see the head of my program Thursday and she arranged everything. Which means I'll get my diploma when I planned it. And as soon as it's in my hands and I find a job in translation, I'm getting out of that fucking house..
I hurt my left wrist yesterday at work. I can type on the keyboard without much trouble, but too much moving around hurts like a bitch.
I don't feel like doing an exam today.
I'm working too much hours this week.
And the weather is crappy: grey and raining.
Hopefully, the exam won't be too bad......

I am *sooo* tired and it's only 1pm. Not a very good sign. I don't feel like going to my German class at all, but we have a test and the final exam is coming soon, so it'd be pretty stupid to miss now....Only one more week before it's all over. I can make it. I have my history of translation exam Monday, plus one paper that she's going to give and that we'll have two weeks to do, but I want to do it for Thursday, so I won't have to come back to the Uni in May...Ahhh, I feel like my head is going to explode. And I'm working 24 hours next week. Argggg.....
On a happier note, I've been listening to Kamelot's new cd non-stop since the last time I wrote. What to say.....it's Kamelot, so it's really excellent. There really are some amazing songs, and no filler at all. But when I compare the overall quality of the cd with Epica, I feel that it's a little below. But that doesn't mean much, since Epica was a cd out-of-this-world. So Black Halo being only a little below it also means that this is a cd out-of-this-world. :p
So...Blak Halo is a good conclusion to the saga that started in Epica. I just wished that Mephisto would've played a bigger role, since it was Dimmu Borgir's singer that played the role in Black Halo, a very good addition, I might add.
Killer songs:
The haunting: amazing lyrics, amazing music with the beginning reminding me of III Ways to Epica, and the duo Ariel-Marguerrite which was simply breath-taking. One of Kamelot's best song in their whole history.
March of Mephisto, in which we can hear the great voice of Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir as Mephiso. Speedy and powerful song.
Abandonned: if only for the great lyrics and the amazing voice of Khan. He is a GOD.
The Black Halo: again, amazing lyrics amazingly sung. Favorite part has to be: You could take me higher, so you said and I trusted you, I may be a liar, but betrayal lies on you.
When the lights are down: speedy and a bit dark.
Overall, amazing performance from Khan and the other guys. But really, Khan has one of sexiest voice out there. And it gets better with each album. The lyrics too get better and better each time and really are the high point of this album. So, in conlcusion, Black Halo only confirmed that Kamelot is one of the best power/progressive band out there and that are very high on my favorite band list. In fact, I'm quite torn between them and Evergrey for first position....
Needless to say, this cd is going to remain in my cdplayer for quiiiiiiite awhile. Now, if only Blind Guardian could release a new cd as well....it's been quite awhile for them....Well, they've lost their drummer and it's quite sad, since Blind Guardian had the same band members since....their first cd, I think. Quite an accomplishment in the metal scene. And it seems like a new Demons & Wizards cd will be realeased in summer, but....I want Blind Guardian, dammit!!
Ah well, almost time to leave for school. I have to go early again, since I have to go see our departement head *again*, so she can hopefully arrange my freaking schedule, and maybe make a small place for me in two classes that I want to take but are full, one of which I absolutely need to take three classes in Autumn 2006. Otherwise, I'm totally and royally screwed..... If it doesn't work, I feel like I'm going to fall into a deep deep deep deep depression....and maybe do stupid things like....oh, who knows, saying 'screw translation, I'm becoming a bus driver'? Erggg.
Life is soo damn shitty.

I just did my first final exam today, for my localization class. It wasn't too hard. But since it's an exam that counts for 40% of my final note, I'm not sure what my final grade will be. I mostly had B-, although I had a magnificent A+ for my last paper. So I'm hoping for a B+ maybe... that wouldn't be so bad. Oh well, in general, it's been a great class with a pretty decent teacher. But I really doubt I'll work in localization when I'll get my diploma. No place for creativity, too much stress, too much words to translate in one day, which means less quality. Only if I'm desperated....
So one exam down, two left. And those are only going to be in two weeks.... *sigh*
Happy note, I received today Kamelot's new cd!! That I am going to listen as soon as I finish taping this. I think it's easy to guess what I'll be listen to for the, oh, upcoming month. ;) The cd cover is absolutely gorgeous, as always.
Hmm, new season of anime has started it seems. Lots of new titles. Not sure which ones I'll be chekcing out. Well, I know I'll check out Tsubasa Chronicle, because it's Clamp, but anime Clamp aren't always that great. X was great but shit was RG Veda aweful. But well, I'll keep my eyes on this one, and if turns out to be not so great after a few episodes, I'll just delete it....
Tomorrow: I'm working. German class. And I have to go see our faculty head, to get the classes I want for my winter semester, since it looks like I need a special 'agreement' with him if I want to take those classes. If I can't, I'll be stuck a complete year after the upcoming one. I don't wannnnt to...... so crossing my fingers for the meeting to go well and for him to agree to let me follow to damn three classes.

So many adventures since my last entry.
First, when I last wrote, I was saying what a great day it was. Well, it turned out to be an horrible day. First off, I went to two music shops, and didn't find Kamelot's new cd. I was really disappointed, but I found a Children of Bodom cd I wanted, so I didn't leave empty handed at least. But then, teh metro stopped one station before my change of line, so I had to walk, and that led me to be half an hour late for my German class. *sigh* Well, at least, I ordered Kamelot's cd on Amazon and they just shipped it.
And my computer is all messed up. I had a big scare that I would lose everything I have on my hard drive, lost sleep thinking that all my writing would turn to dust, but it's partially fine now, thanks to some great help. But it's still being weird. I am so never going to be that mark again. First, it was my stupid graphic card, then it's my dvd/cd player that's being an ass and doesn't work well anymore and now this. I am *so* unlucky with computers...
Final exam for my localization this week. And a test in my German class on unregular verbs at the perfect tense. Plus tons of homework. And tomorrow I'll have my first class of history in translation in weeks and I'm not really looking up to it. Ahhh...the upcoming week doesn't look too great....I so can't wait for the semester to end.
And tomorrow, we can make our class choices for the autumn semester. I'm just hoping the classes I want to take aren't all at the same time. That would royally suck. And would just worsen my already bad mood.
I'm not a big Rammstein fan, but I wanted to hear German outside of my German classes, and since they're about the only german group I know that actually sing in German....And it's great, I actually understand bits of the lyrics, recognizes words. It's a nice feeling. And the song isn't bad at all.

Today is going to be a great day. First off, THE STRIKE IS OVER!!! At least, for us in translation. Not sure for the others, but it's over for us. DAMN ABOUT TIME. I'm not sure what will happen to all the hours that we miss, but the worst is that the semester will end at the end of april, instead of mi-april.
And then, I went on metal-rules to see if they had april cd reviews and I was in shock to see... Kamelot's new cd!! I was all hyper while reading the two reviews, whom gave it both 5/5. I am soooo stopping at the cd store before school to buy it!!
And, besides the fine weather today, I finally managed to write a few paragraph yesterday and this morning. It had been so long since I wrote anything not school related.
I haven't feel this great since a very long time. The huge weight that I felt on me because of all the mess caused by the strike is finally gone and I can breathe normally again. I have German class at 4pm helps also alot. The only thing that would ruin my day would be a metro break-down or a huge block on the bridge.

Spring has truly arrived! The weather is wonderful, and the snow is almost gone.
I actually went to school and had my class today. And it looks like I'll have my German class tomorrow as well. Things are looking up. I was starting to get bored, with no classes and not being able to work full time. Usually, at this time of the semester, I'd be completely tired from tons of papers to give in and final exams coming in. Dare I say that I'm *almost* missing all the stress, pression and huge among of work of the semester end? Nawww....
3 mangas I'm currently highly enjoying reading: Death Note, Jiraishin and Anatolia (or Red River, as Viz decided to translate it). Death Note, I actually started reading that one a while back, but for some reasons, I pushed it aside. But now, I realized the errors of my ways and I'm catching up to the recent releases. And I'm glad I did because it's quite something. Very interesting characters, and more than that, character analysis and psychology. Jiraishin again has some very interesting characters. I can't seem to figure out Iida.... As for Red River, I'm glad to have found a shoujo that has an interesting and solid plot.
I also managed to watch more Zeta Gundam. I'm halfway through the 9th DVD. Still refraining to comment until I've seen the entire thing.
I wanted to write more, but I'm really tired, barely can keep my eyes open.

I was all happy when I left because I was going to have my German class. But Oh surprise, when I arrived at the classroom, students were blocking it. All our class was pretty pissed, but nothing we can do, sooooo no German class......So because I didn't want to have gone to school for no reason, Cat and I went to the general assembly for our faculty, to vote to stop the strike or not. It was shocking; more than 120 students from translation showed up. They were only about 80 at the one last week. I never realize that an assembly need to so...formal. Oh well, the end result was that 84 people voted to continue the strike against 62. And we're voting again Thursday. Such a mess. But I'm still having my localization class tomorrow, hopefully at least, and there's a paper due tomorrow and I need to start it....
Oh and of course, no exam yesterday....
A little surprising, the 42 000 students of the UQAM university are ALL on strike this week, compared to only about a half at my university. I just hope that the talks between the students association and the Education Minister will start again soon....
There's an invasion of flies in the house. We have no idea where they're coming from, but we found several of them dead here and there and sometimes alive flying around....it's really annoying. There's something wrong with our house. First, the spiders, then we had ants and now flies. I hate bugs.
Only two weeks left before summer vacation....I can make it....

Yes I am still alive! Trying to survive the strike though. I have an exam tomorrow for my history of translation class. It's supposed to take place, but the teacher said that she might cancel it and merge it with the last one. But nothing is sure, so I'm going to study and I'm going to go to school, maybe for nothing. That sucks. But only one month left before the end of the semester........and the weather is getting so pretty.....And I got a pay raise. It ain't all bad... I just wish the government would just go back on their decision. Yeah, I can dream.... Stupid prime minister....
Took a small test:
 | You scored as atheism. You are... an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul.
Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.
atheism | | 92% | agnosticism | | 67% | Satanism | | 63% | Paganism | | 46% | Buddhism | | 33% | Judaism | | 25% | Islam | | 17% | Hinduism | | 8% | Christianity | | 0% |
Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)

That's no big surprise....Although to get Satanism in third position.... ;)
The lastest Bleach mangas chapters are getting more and more interesting. I wouldn't have guessed Aizen was a bad guy, what a freaking shock!! And Hinamori and Hitsugaya better not be dead.... Funny thing is, while I was watching epi 23 of the anime, I started thinking of how suspicious Aizen really is.
Happy news, Death Note has been licensied, although which company has the rights remains unknown. I'm thinking it'll either be Kana or Glénat. Well, I just hope it won't be Tonkam because they just suck and the quality isn't the best, although their job on Zetman isn't *that* bad...

8:30 pm - Week off!
|
I have two small days of nothing to do. Wednesday is my class, and I'm working the rest of the week. But two small days is better than none. But I have a paper that's due for my Wednesday class, so I'll have to work on it, in hope to get a good grade.
A small good news. I received my grades for the last semester and I passed all my class. My best grade was in, no surpises, advanced translation.
And now, since I finished reading vol 18 of Monster, my thoughts on the whole manga. Loooooooooooooooooonnnnggggggggg rambling ahead.
( Spoilers for the entire Monster manga )
And so, a name isn't important in itself; it doesn't define us, it doesn't mean anything. What has meaning is that someone gave that name to us. But even if we have no name, we still exist and we are still 'someone'. I would've liked to read a book like the monster without a name when I was younger. Would have been more interesting than Pinoccio.
Now I can concentrare wholy on the anime while I'm waitign rather impatiently for the newest 20th Century Boys volume to come out. I want to know who is Ami... ;) Who is hidden behind the mask.
Besides that, I also finished reading a french book called 'La part de l'autre' written by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. A book about Hitler. Two stories, one about Hitler, the dictator and the other, about an Hitler that ended up becoming an artist and never walked the path of evil. The author wanted to show that Hitler was human. A bad, despicable one, but still human. Society helps create Monsters... It was a wonderful read.
Next on my liste 'to do' is to finish watching Gundam Zeta. I'm at the 8th dvd volume out of 10. I should have a review of that pretty soon too. But in short, it's dark, it's strong on character, so I adore it. ;)

8:25 pm - Today was a good day
|
Well, as I said, I went to my favorite librairy and bought the very last volume of Monster that I will read in like 5 minutes. I'll write more about it tomorrow. While I was there, I also grabbed Basara 19, Fruits Basket 12 and Rough 1, a manga by the great and popular (at least in Japan) Adachi. All good reading. ;)
I also managed to catch my 7:30pm bus at Brossard. Almost didn't make it though, because of slow bastards on the bridge. It's wasn't even snowing, nor was there any ice on the road. Really. There's an increase in cars on the road, but also an increase of stupid drivers. Cars are evil...In a perfect world, there would only buses on the road (and trucks I guess...). But yeah, that'll happen only in my dreams......The Kyoto protocol is really a good thing, but people that were interrogated said yes, it was good, but no, they didn't want to get rid of their cars and no, they didn't want to pay an extra tax, but sure it was a good idea... *roll eyes*. It's good as long as it's not *them* who have to do the sacrifices....
Tomorrow class, then week of vacation! But I have the feeling my boss is going to make me work 30+ hours, so it won't be much of a vacation. And I still have my localization class, as it doesn't follow the same calendar as my other classes.
Off to read Monster 18, because I want to know how it ends and all those questions that were left unanswered during 17 volumes.

Back to writing more regulary.
I managed to get a A- on my history of translation exam. Not bad at all. But most of my errors were pretty stupid; overall, if I had rambled a bit more, I would've gotten an even better score. I'll know for the next exam. But for my localization exam, I'm expecting a much lower score. Totally screwed up. Concentrated too much on learning the 30 definitions, and the only definition she asked was 'what's localization'. That's like asking psychology students 'what is psychology'. I was really pissed....
We might go on a strike.....NOooooo....the cause is good, really, but it's so useless. The prime minister would'nt care, even if all university and cegep students would be shouting right in front of him.
I've been reading a few reviews of Xenosaga II and...................... I'm not sure I want to play it....Well, I'll be waiting for awhile for sure before buying it. There are alot more games I'd buy instead of a crappy sequel.. I'm disappointed.
Happy happy news: Monster 18 arrived in the librairies!!! That means I'm going to have to leave a little earlier than usual and pick it up before heading for school. I absolutely cannot wait to read it!!

Stupid damn weather! It'd been so nice, so of course, it had to snow today. All day long. Which means that getting back home was a major pain. It was painfully slow all the way on the bridge, so I missed my second bus at the terminus by 5 freaking minutes. Because of that, I arrived half an hour later than usual.
And to make it worse, while I was talking with Cat before German class, she made me realize that we had an exam monday for history of translation class. An exam I had completely forgotten about, too deep I was in my localisation one.
So today turned out to be a very bad day. Can't wait for the off-school week that's coming up beginning of March. I'll just have one class, because that one doesn't follow the regular calendar, but one isn't something to whine about.

8:20 pm - Feels like Spring
|
Ah, the weather has been wonderful since awhile. Even went above the zero for a few days.
Huge exam coming up next week. All theory, all needed to be known by heart. I'm going to drag all my notes pratically everywhere I go, if I want a chance to know it all. And it's all the translator in a localisation project has to do 1,2,3, 4,5 and needs skill 1,2,3,4,5 and the control quality team need to do 1,2,3,4,5 and need skills 1,2,3,4,5 and on and on.
I've started watching Captain Harlock, which is super old. I saw it listed on animesuki site and was curious about it. I'm not too sure what to make of it. Of course the animation is dated, but that's not a thing that can bother me. I suppose it's the 'hero always save the day' kind of anime and that genre bugs me a bit; it depends on the other characters. If they'll have developpement or not. If the story is good or not. If the main character isn't all perfect and makes mistakes or not. Guess I'll watch a few more eps before deciding if it's a keeper.
Happy day, I'm not working tomorrow morning, so I'll be able to SLEEP!!! And I won't be zombie-like during my German class in the afternoon. And even better, Friday I'm not doing the morning shift, but I start at 12:00 instead so I'll be able to SLEEP again!! Nice.
Must start studying.... But I feel like doing a hundred of other things besides study. So I probably won't end up studying.... But no matter what, Saturday I'll definitively start, can't be later than that or else I'm screwed.

I was sick. Caught a cold. Hopefully, it'll be the first and the last for this year.
Messed up the paper that I gave in today. The teacher decided to specify some stuff after everyone gave it in, and I just didn't do it because it wasn't cleary written. But I'm in a foul mood today, so I just don't care.
On my way back home, in the bus, there was that girl sitting next to me and she was coughing every two minutes; it came out like a high-pitched cough and was damn annoying. In fact, alot of things annoyed me today.
For some reasons, yesterday my dvd player on my computer just didn't want to play episode 14 of Zeta. I didn't have the time to try today, but it better be not a 'malfunction' of the dvd, or I'm going to be real pissed. But it better not be my dvd who's broken either, or I'll be as pissed. I'll give it a try tomorrow and if it still doesn't work, I'll try it on my mom's computer or on the tv. Gahhh....that really pisses me off.....

8:55 pm - Finally got it
|
Yes. After coming back from my class, I found my package of Amazon on my bed, waiting for me. After months of wait, I finally got it. Well first, I could've done without the little figurines. They are, sadly, going to remain in my closet because what the hell would I want them, it's the anime I want. Anyway, besides that, the box is very nice, and for ten dvds, they made each dvd box much thinner than the usual size, which is nice because it'll take less space. Nothing to say about the cover. There's also a nice little information booklet, which I found really helpful as I haven't seen any of the Gundams series that are prequels to this one. It's all well done.
Now, I've only the time to watch the first dvd and I don't want to say anything before seeing the whole thing. Which might take awhile, as I'm working tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, I have a paper to give in Wednesday, and I need to study my German numbers for a test Tuesday. So it'll be bits by bits and not in one complete seating.
Currently downloading Bleach 16, which just came out. Subbers are getting faster, that's nice. In the manga, it's one of my favorite and best part. It *should* also be the same for the anime, so I can't wait. But I probably won't have time to download it all tonight, becaue I want to go to bed in less than an hour. Sadly, my connection just isn't that fast. And my computer's too noisy for me to let it open all night. It disturbs my sleep.

Today is a good day! First, it's sunny.
Second, amazon finally shipped Zeta! About bloody time. I'll blame the lateness on Bandai....Now let's just hope it's going to be good with all the waiting I've done. If it's not, I think I'll cry....heh.
And Fruits Basket 12 came out too, so I'm going to try and stop at the library just before class to buy it.
German test today. I hope I don't screw up. I really want a good grade. In fact, this semester, for all my classes, I will not stand a grade lower than B+.... I can't afford to anyway, or else, my general cote will go down and that's no good....

Well, I did what I said I'd do. Slept 12 hours. But I still ended up being sleepy during history of translation, but that's because the teacher's boring. That's too bad, because the content itself is interesting, but she present it all wrong... Some people just shouldn't be teacher at all...
I had a sort of philosophical discussion with my mother...well, as philosophical as you can get with her anyway. It all started I said that she would probably just have only three grandchildren, compared to the mother of my sister in law, who has like 9 grandchildrens. She agreed and added that's because her daughters weren't interested, and that she understood that for my sister who just isn't the maternal kind, but not for me. So I argued that it's not because I absolutely adore my brother's kids, that I'm a good babysitter and that they adore me, that I'd want any. So she said that I was selfish because of that. But in my view, as I told her, it's people who have kids that are selfish; it's because of their own desire that they bring people in this world. She, of course, as stubborn as she is, couldn't see it my maybe rather pessimistic way.
Anyway.....
I just returned from my regular visits to metalrules.com, *the* best metal site out there. First, they put their 'best of 2004' cd list and HOLY DAMN, Evergrey is fifth!!! And Nighwish is second! But I'm more happy for Evergrey, because I totally didn't expect them to be soo high, even though the album is what I call perfect.
I'm still waiting for a new album from Kamelot and also from Blind Guardian and Savatage. It's been awhile...And damn, everytime I go to HMV, they never have the cds I want, so I always come back with cds I didn't plan to buy, but still good, but the cds I want to buy still remain unbought. Before, I'd go to Amazon, but I'm a bit pissed at them at the moment, so it's not an option....next time I go, I'll make a special command dammit...

Today wasn't such a good day.
It all started at 7:10am when a girl called to say that she couldn't come to work because she was stuck in Otterburn, her boyfriend's car didn't want to start and said there wasn't any buses. Guess she never heard of taxis.....Anyway, that meant that *I* had to do her job, and if there's one thing I truly hate is doing the job of someone else because they decided that they didn't want to work today. That just plainly pisses me off and I was in a bad mood all morning because of that. It's a good thing I'll only see her again next Sunday or else, she wouldn't like my greeting much....
Well, at least the day is over, but I'm dead tired. I plan to sleep twelve hours straight, to get in the mood for my history of translation class tomorrow.
But nothing better to put an horrible day behind than watch Bleach 15. Which I just did. It was really good. I even think this part was even better than it was in the manga. Except that Yoruichi has a very weird voice...Kon was simply hilarious, even more dressed as à la Marie-Antoinette. That scene was a nice addition, with Ishida 'repairing' Kon. Rukia angst. Ichigo worried. And Renji appeared. Good things to come.
Moving to mangas, Monster 18, the last volume, just came out in France, which means I'll be able to buy in a month or so. I absolutely cannot wait.
I want to go in Germany this summer....

It's been awhile....I've been busy....And I've pretty much been 'offline' since, well, Christmas. So, what happened since then:
Christmas was good. But I was so tired that I didn't even go to the boxing day on the 26...Still managed to get a 20% off a few days later at my favorite library. For the 1st, we went to my uncle's near the american border with my brother and his kids. It was surprisingly fun. My cousin had brought her dog, who's a crazy little thing and when he got on his two feet, he was as tall as my little nephew. He was a bit scared at first, but he grew to like the dog in the end. It was really cute.
School started once more. I'm now learning German and it's lots of fun. Who knows, soon I might be writing in this journal in German instead of English... heh. I still have bits of problems with the pronounciation, but it's actually easier than I thought so. Verbs are *much* easier than in French. Reminds me of Spanish a bit.
I've been playing like crazy on my PS2 in my free time. Currently playing Star Ocean 3, and still trying to finish Xenosaga before the episode 2 comes out.
For animes, I'm watching Chobits, catching up on older animes that I missed, and it's...bleh. I'll finish it, but it's really not that great. Main character reaaaaaallllly bugs me for some reasons. Must be his eyes.....And god damn, I still haven't received my Zeta Gundam........I'm getting impatient....It's now that I have time to watch it, not during the middle of the semester....geesh. I'm not even sure if it's Amazon's fault or if it's Bandai that's either late, or are like Viz, meaning they send their stuff super late for Canada.... If it's the latter, well see if I ever buy again animes from them...
For mangas, well not much new mangas came out during december. They all arrived yesterday, so I'll go manga shopping this week, along with the birthday present I need to buy my niece. But I did buy 4 volumes of 20th century boys, so I'm now up to volume 11. Read them one after the other without much of a break between each. I'll never get tired to say how great this manga is.
And I'm really tired, since I didn't get to sleep my 9 hours last night....

It's been awhile....I've been busy....And I've pretty much been 'offline' since, well, Christmas. So, what happened since then:
