I have too many online social obligations. No, I just think they're obligations because I'm neurotic. I also have things to draw maybe before Valentine's day, and I translated a cake recipe, and all in all it's really tiring me out. I need a nap...but I will probably just go play Tales of the Abyss again ~_~


The other thing that tired me out recently was sending a letter to the professor that teaches a Japanese course at Harvard Extension. You see, I have this horrible fear of teachers and classroom situations, and I'm trying to get over that (slowly) by going to a class where I don't have to be afraid of the teacher or very stressed out and sad. So I picked out this easy course, and I thought it would be good for me to start right away, but I'm kinda late SO...I decided to send an e-mail to this professor. Talking to a teacher and asking them if I can join their class even though I'm late? Yes, this is hard work.

She wrote back and she was very nice to me, but looking at the syllabus, I can't take this class. It's like the second half of a second year of Japanese, and um. Right, I can't take it. (Trust me.) So next I have to write an e-mail back, in Japanese. On the one hand, I know she's nice, and the pressure to get in is off. On the other hand, I have to apologize/thank her, and I have to do it in Japanese without getting too loopy. She's a teacher, she'll know if I sound weird, and maybe if I sound weird she'll say, "...maybe you should take the course after all!!" ARGH.

I'm thinking an art journal is the answer to my need for a place to put my art that isn't a. a website or b. Deviant Art. NOT THAT I THINK ANYONE WILL NEED TO VISIT IT. ~_~

A happy thing that happened today: I decided it was time to spend the sum total of 4 months' savings, Christmas money, and birthday money ♥ Pretty soap, and subscriptions to Ribon and Asuka yes, and now I'm thinking books and video games.

ART JOURNAL FOR THE WIN.
Is the class that easy?

I didn't think so until I started really noticing the name of the class is Elementary Japanese, and the number of kanji I would have to know overall. Also, the e-mail the teacher sent to me said she thought it was probably too easy. I though, I could go to work on my conversation skills, but then possibly nobody but the teacher would understand me... ~_~ I might be in the way...etc. I take it as a good sign that I feel disappointment, though.

I HAVE SUPPORT FOR AN ART JOURNAL. XD YES YES. Shit, this reminds me, I hope you're okay currently. ;_; Hang in there. I send my support? Trudyyyy. >< I meant to comment in your LJ but I got distracted because I'm SO loopy today, and I just realized you read my (hopefully mild) emoing, too 'x'

OMG ART JOURNAL YES. Cuz that might force ME to do one, which I should, because if I'm going to make a career out of illustration I should be drawing more than I do. A daily art blog might force me to do that...hmmm.

I wish Middlesex offered a more stable Japanese course. Being able to understand raw fansubs is all well and good, but I'd like to be able to actually SPEAK it too...

Oh, under no circumstances will mine be daily, I just need a place to put my crap when I do have it.

There's UMass Amherst, but yeah, I'm trying to pick things I don't have to leave HOME for...
