I should stop reading my friends list on LJ now. I should step away from the computer. I should stop thinking about playing WoW, despite almost having hit lvl21 already. I should pick up my psychology book. I should open it on chapter 6. And I should read the rest of the chapter, and then go on to chapters 7, 8 and 9. This because I have my first exam this Friday, and with almost 400 pages to read, I should be far, far away from Hana-chan. Will I step away, though? Maybe after I've had lunch at 12:00. Maybe.

I am so going to fail this exam... And I need at least a B if I'm to have any chance at all to get in on the Prof. studies like I want to. But then, I don't really want to either. I don't really want to study. I want to do absolutely nothing for a year or so. But if I do nothing, then I've got nothing to live on. And if I don't study at uni, then I won't have a chance at getting the apartment like I want to, as it's SiTø (student union) who has all the student apartments in this city, and you have to study at UiT to get maybe get one. If I'm lucky, they take HiTø students too... Because if I don't get in on the Prof. studies (which I as a matter of fact doubt I will), I really want to do something with computers. Programming or graphic design or whatever. And I'd most likely have to go to HiTø then.

Just checked HiTø's homepage. They have a collaboration with SiTø, so the apartment wouldn't be a problem, but they don't have any computer courses except "IKT and teaching", which didn't tempt, as that is a teacher education course. And the last thing I'd ever become is a teacher. Or... I could imagine me taking a bachelor in Japanese, move to Kyoto and work as an English teacher in higher areas. I'd never ever become a children's school teacher. Period.

So now I'm going to bitch a bit about the lack of Japanese courses in Tromsø. They don't even have any at FolkeUniversitetet any longer, due to lack of teachers. They cut out their Chinese courses too. Only Asian language courses they have left is Thai. And I don't want to learn Thai, I want to learn Japanese!
Correction: Just checked their homepage, and they have removed Thai too. Nothing of even remote interest, in other words...

*le sigh*

I think I'll go get some food before I continue the writing. I want tea.

And tea is soon being had.

I think I need a spill proof computer... It almost got drenched in hot water now, because I'm not very careful when I pour water from my thermos to my cup. Haven't done it yet, but spill proof would be reassuring.

And then, because I love completely unrelated things...

Mike actually spent the night here. No, he has not had a row with Graham. Yes, they're still happily together. Graham just happened to be out of town, the reason being work, I think. Yes. So Mike stayed here, listening to my rants about how fucked up life is, making soothing noises and warming my back. It was nice, it always is when he stays here. My nii-chan who isn't blood related. Heh. But don't ask how he can enter a locked house without keys, because I don't think I want the answer. He was here when I came home from uni yesterday. It surprised me when I for once got a reply to my "tadaima". I say it when I come home just for the sake of saying it. So when I got a "okaeri" in return, I almost jumped. But it was nice to get a reply for once... *smiles*

I think my tea is finished now. It smells nicely of mint, and I'm looking forward to it. I sure am. *grins*

Spoke with mom about the lack of computer courses in this cursed city. We found some other subjects instead... So now I'm thinking, if I don't manage the Prof. study in psychology, I'll take a one year study in either English, history or religion. Most likely English, as I did like the subjects. Look at this:
Autumn
Introduction to the English Language II
Introduction in American studies
Free to chose. I'll take English literature: British Romantic Poetry

Spring
Introduction to the English Language I
Introduction in British studies
Free to chose. I'll take Language Change and the History of English

Looking good. *dances*

I used exactly one hour on this post.

I love your new layout! Is it new or have I been blind?

Let's go to Japan! We can be colleagues, and teach English to high school students! ^-^ (Though I'd have to bribe someone at Samordna Opptak first)

Good luck with your exam! And getting an appartment! *Crosses fingers for you*

Oooh, British Romantic Poetry! *Starts to quote Byron and Shelley*

[souvraya.livejournal.com]

Layout is brand new, so your eyes have been working just fine. ^^

Yay, Japan! Together! Maybe we'll even get work at Todai (Tokyo university), though I think that more than a bachelor is needed then, both in Japanese and English, at least in English.

*picks up the quoting and slides over in theatre* To be or not to be... ^^

[nussekanin.livejournal.com]

Yes, Todai would be awsome! Yeah, bachelor might be a bit weak, but we can get masters ^-^ I got the ambitions, if nothing else.

I do think Shakespear is a bit old to be considered romantic, but who cares. There's method to the madness..

[souvraya.livejournal.com]

I've got ambitions too! ^^ Oslo or Bergen? Or just out of the country as soon as possible? ^^

Shakespeare... Yeah, you're probably very, very right about that. I can never remember quite when Romanticism was... 1800->? Something like that, right? So... Edgar Allan Poe? ^^

[nussekanin.livejournal.com]

Of course one needs ambitions! To Japan I say! Why not take the entire bachelor at Todai? (ok ok, so we wont manage the entrance test in Japanese.. nor understand the subjects unless they're in English, but that's details)

The Romantic Period is at the late 1800s. So yes, Poe, Shelley (and Mary Shelley), Byron, Wordsworth and Coleridge.. I know it was plenty more, but I sold last year's English books..

[souvraya.livejournal.com]

Yay for Todai and not understanding anything at all! ^^ We'll learn fast. We're plenty motivated. And I already know some kana and some words and sentences! Atashi wa Alina desu! Even said in feminine form! ^^

Late 1800s. Yes, that could be right... Yay, Poe! ^^
