Eye of the Cyclone & BBQ Sauce

Well guys, it's Thursday night and we don't have exams until next week Monday, so we've all got a nice break (or cram study sessions: whatever way you look at it). For starters, I know I could have done better on History, I didn't properly answer all of the extended responses. I put too much time into the first one and not enough into the other two, I didn't know what ASEAN was (I do now), and...yeah. I screwed up. Geography wasn't TOO bad, but the ext.resp. being half the exam will cost me: again, I didn't write too much, some of the info I gathered for the exam was irrelevant to the question, so I felt I wasted time. Japanese listening went fine for me. As far as I could tell, I understood everything and I THINK I translated properly. I hope.
Minor - IST. I did not bother studying for this subject: ironically, though, I knew a fair amount of the answers. But I'm not saying I did well: some of the questions I b#!!$#!^ed with pretty words in short answers. I have NO idea what a histogram in Photoshop is for or what one looks like. Lucky for me, though, I've worked with Flash before so hopefully that'll bump up my marks.
Major - Japanese. As rushed as I was to finish and check my exam, I feel that I did pretty well and I don't think I could have done better if I had an extra day to study: my brain was at full capacity. It occured to me this morning that I could have replaced the 'tou' in Kyoto with the 'east' kanji, so I know I didn't get 100%. I also think that maybe I got my sentence structure and some particles wrong, so that;s a good 2~5 marks off T_T. 100% in Japanese nowadays seems impossible...where's the bloody cheat code?!
Last for the week, English. 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' left me with a HUGE '?' above my head when I read the story and questions in the reading time. I was thinking, 'How the HELL am I going to figure an abstract story out, and then write an EXTENSION of it?!' Reading the story in relations to the questions in detail helped. Of course, being abstract, the answers are open to interpretation, so I can't say how well I went in that section. Same goes for the DIY Walter Mitty episode, I can't say how well I went, I'm no English teacher. All I can say is that it was fun writing the story from the overshoes section and the stimulus (I used aliens XD).

Thursday...a very disruptive yet productive science double theory lesson. Very loud, but we learnt what we needed to. I feel that Baxter deserves a different class...he needs a class that shuts up. Seriously. But that's my opinion. Geography was nothing special, computer rooms, some of the grils were studying for upcoming HYs, Justin tried the quizzes I made in Year 8 for Games Programming (god, they were horrible) and I pwned him in several games of Tetris.

"You guys better not play counterstrike, or else I'll counterstrike you back!" - Milner (or something along those lines...)

Math. I helped Jasmine with her coming Jap. speaking exam. I led her on a crash course. In all honesty, Jasmine could top the class, she just needs to practice her Jap even just 5 minutes every few days (man, I sound like such a teacher XD).

Lunch. Kelvin, sorry I forgot to ask Ms. Hewett straight away about the speaking thing. Played 'spin the rose'. We experienced bad coffee, that stuff is keeping me awake pretty well seeing as how I am not a coffee person and it was double shot and I guzzled a third of the can. Is that alot in general or alot for me? I dunno. Feedback welcome (now it sounds like a question forum).

IST. Worked on my chicken walk animation a little. Talked mainly though. Japanese. I spent pretty much all the lesson revising with Jasmine and Christine & Vii on the side. Jasmine passed the first part of her speaking exam, so I'm very proud of her. It's good to know that she isn't failing Jap: I feel responsible for her (for lack of a better phrase), because I've been doing my best to help her keep up in Japanese. Like a tutor. Or not. I dunno. Jazz, if you're reading this, I hope this doesn't offend you, I mean this in a good way (if this can be interpreted in a bad way).

Pork chop and rice for dinner. Japanese bbq sauce went with the pork chop. Reminds me of my time in Japan. I miss the culture, the people, the friends I made, the food of course...so many things. I wish that there was a device that could project your memories onto a TV like in 'Meet The Robinsons'. I hate how it all happened less than a year ago and yet I cannot rememberly everything perfectly. I can't expect it, but I have always wanted my memory to be sharper at the least.

Enough ramblings for tonight. Seems like that coffee has got my head buzzing. Guess I'll be up for a good while animating while watching 'Heroes'. Good night all.
