Today I woke up late on purpose. I had a dentist appointment at 8:30 so I decided to wake up at 7:45. Took a shower, then I Blow dried my hair while smoking a cigarette with the other hand. Thats multitasking folks. Didnt have breakfast.....never have breakfast....

Got to my appointment with time to spare and had another flawless checkup. that would make somewhere in the neighborhood of a 46 appointment streak and represents 100% of my dental career. When I got to work I had two dollars which I needed to use for two days worth of coffee, but the snack bar was out of large cups so I had to upgrade to an extra large cup....Now Im sitting here at my desk drinking it. I think its going to be a good day.

Young man, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Any good writer worth their salt will tell you that a good breakfast fuels the body and mind, allowing for great writing.
With affection,

I just cant break fast enough to chomp down some morning treats and still wake up 30 minutes before I need to leave for work.... Its out of my hands. Not only that but BBC programs play on PBS until 12:00 and I can't not watch them....

[Radium Girl]

I told you to sleep fully dressed!! you'll save at least 10 minutes!

[Retrocanary]

Got my new desk today, it's HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE, which is just what I wanted.

[MondoJohnny]

Im fed up with the desk! If whil I stepped out for a bite all desks in the world were to simultaneously vanish I wouldnt complain! I would also run on a giant hamster wheel if given the option. (modified for human paws of course.) If you think I wouldnt drink out of that water bottle with the metal spout thenthink again!

Struggled to keep my eyes open in economics today, cuz some extremely loud birds on the tree in front of our window kept me awake...

[MondoJohnny]

And here I was wishing I had some birds to keep me up all night....

I feel like some hell today again. For the last two days my neck has been killing me. It feels like there is a tiny elf inside my spine.....and he's angry drunk on tequila. In other news im almost out of chocolate bunnies. Today is laboratory professionals day which more or less means that I will get to eat some luke warm hot and ready pepperoni pizza from little caesars....I stand corrected this year it will gigantic sammitches!! Not only that they are coming from the deli that I eat lunch at every day! This is going to be an excellent day! Now if I only had a few birds...

Today could've been better, I was the one person in my Japanese class (of like 25 people) to fail the test (and by 1 mark, 1) and it all fell down to in the end the fact that my い didn't look quite right. I was also felt quite ill, and the hayfever's kicking in. This was so humiliating, the test was quite simply copying out the words that were written on the paper as accurately as possible.

ohh, that's... man....i've seen that one before... is it 'ru'? I gotta learn Japanese...

Retro, i am so sorry to hear that. As a student, I offer you my condolences.

Well. you know what they say, shikata ga nai...

[rickwith]

true...it's done.
try not to be too hard on yourself Retro .
will you have another opportunity to make this up?

[white city]

Nooooooo!

Retro san! You have brought shame and dishonor on the whole Flat Earth Society. It is time to prepare the wakizashi. Seppuku is the only honorable thing for you!!!

On the other hand you could just practice a bit more. I remember we we had to do these exercises. They were really much harder than they look. The 'simple' things often turn out the most difficult!

Don't take it to heart. Look at it this way. You can pronounce R which put you ahead of most Japanese people!

I studied Japanese history at school and was a total Japanophile (?) until I visited the country. I was really disappointed. Sure it was interesting but the general mentality was too much for me to handle.

Money, status, money, status, money, status. (repeat ad-nauseum)

Empty.

Shame.

Actually, it's "i", but what does shikata ga nai mean?

Yes, fortunately, I have another chance to make a mess of the test.

But right now I have to focus for my German oral exam tomorrow morning. Fortunately the French oral has been postponed a week from when it was, so I have extra time to study for that. Then of course my French exchange partner's coming tomorrow afternoon. Oy Oy Oy, quiero unos vacaciones.

[rickwith]

loosely translated: it can't be helped...that's the way it is...what's done is done

[MondoJohnny]

What the hell does everyone here just speak Japanese??

Hey, you can get lessons from Harper Robertson. Apparently she TEACHES it. Is that COOL or what?!?
