FINALLY

So I'll be leaving for Japan on the 1st.

TUJ, here I come!

Snippets.

I hate snippets.

Snippets are what I call little bits of words that would make a great part of a story, but the rest never comes out.

It happens a lot.

I try to write them down, but I think my muse died when I started dating Nolan. (Not blaming him, just saying that long-term relationships are distracting from writing.)

College also seems to have helped destroy my muse.

But I digress. The reason I'm babbling about snippets is because one came to me in the shower.

That last sentence sounded kind of dirty.

I should prolly go to bed.

I'm an idiot.

Nolan and I are over.

I still love him.

I know I'm going to regret this decision for a long, long time to come.

Ohhh yeeesss.

Q: What is Christianity?

A: It is the belief that a two-
thousand-year-old Jewish zombie
can make you live forever if
you symbolically eat his flesh
and telepathically tell him that
you accept him as your master,
so he can remove an evil force
from your soul that is present
in humanity because a rib-woman
was convinced by a talking snake
to eat an apple off a magical
tree in a wonderland.

THANK YOU GOD.



I know this is late, but I was chilling with my favorite college people. =D

Waaayyy behind

Japanese kicks my ass. I'm pretty sure I've failed every kanji test we've had, but Prof. Maruki is really cool.

I fucking hate FYS. The whole concept is stupid and fuck the opera they want us to go see.

My dance class also kicks my ass because I'm not flexible and my balance sucks. I'm just glad it's not ballet.

Social Problems is also cool, and the professor's nice.

I have to take out another fucking loan to cover tuition this semester, and what the fuck am I supposed to do for Winter III?

The campus here is nice, lots of trees and lots of squirrels. The buildings are all brick.

My birthday's on Sunday! I'll be nineteen, yay!

The exchange students threw a combo party for me/Hiro/Nick tonight. It was fun. (Thank you Ding and Linh!) We all had our own cakes. It was awesome.

I seriously need sleep.

Update

It feels like it's been forever.

My roommate's cool. She's from Reno. Most of the people on my dorm floor are cool.

I've met and hung out with a lot of exchange students. The Japanese ones all seem to be impressed with my Japanese.

I've officially changed my schedule to thirteen credits:

FYS MWF 11:45am-12something

JAPN 301 MWF 2:15pm-3:05

Intro to Contemporary Dance MW 7:15pm-8:30

Social Problems TuThur 9:40am-10:50

I have to relearn keigo in Japanese. That makes me a sad panda. I'm just glad I'm not the only freshman in the class.

There's a lot of Hawaiians here. I like listening to them talk. "Travis, you're local, yeah? I'mma get you a ramen. You want a fork or hashi?" It's awesome.

I want to go on one of the trips they offer during Winter III. India or the Navajo res would be awesome.

I need to help one of the exchange students with their English homework.

Later.
