Working as an assistant for an educational group that works with young children, focusing on those in vulnerable situations. I get to help plan out activities for children and prepare activities and classroom materials for teachers during the school year. Very excited. Also my boss seems very caring and nice. There's only a few of us. I feel a bit bad because I'm the only one who agreed to an interview and I was totally awkward during the interview but knew I was getting the job.

But I'm also really excited and super happy to take on the opportunity, that's for sure. I can have the job again next year if it goes well (although I might not, I might recommend my sister's friend for it since she wanted to apply but didn't and I got the job).

That sounds like a good job! I don't know exactly what it was you did before, but from what you said about it, the new job sounds much more valuable. Good luck with it!

Highlight: saw a bunch of little wild boar in the forest on the way back from the supermarket.

Haha, I worked in a fish factory.

HL: Nice and sunny day. ^_^ Not sure if the folks want to go do something.

Also, I received the most lovely dress in the mail, but it is too small and can't return it. Poo, but hoping to make some alterations with it. The skirt is so beautiful, and there's a lot of material there so it should be at least made into a skirt (and the top part into a handbag). Otherwise, we're going to see if someone can turn the zipper part into an open laced part, not sure what to call it. Just so excited to eventually wear it. Cost me a pretty penny but love it so so much (and losing weight won't really help because of my body's natural shape).

HL of yesterday: I went to the open day of the university I'll be going to in September. It is awesome. Looking forward to going so, so much. And I already was! But now so much more so. It's a really big university, about the fifth largest in the UK, which is great because that means the facilities and staff and everything are some of the best around. It's got a lot to be proud of, really impressive. My course sounds fantastic. Also there's a pub right by the campus called Ships & Giggles. ;u;

HL of today:



Kamijo's new single with a signed photo. Omg. Happiness is me. <3 <3 <3

Well done Kaz, you sound totally over the moon about it - we know you've had to wait long enough. I'm sure you'll have an awesome time. Good luck!

Thanks guys.

I'm going to be doing Asia Pacific Studies, arren. Specialising in Japanese, obviously. You have the choice of learning Japanese, Chinese or Korean. The main focus is on learning the language; besides that you have a choice of various modules that will be focused on things like economics or culture and history and so on. So you can tailor your course as you like, studying the aspects that interest you the most. I had some reservations about the course at first because it seemed quite focused on the business and economic side of things which I'm not that interested in, but it would seem that it's much more varied and flexible than that, and language-focused, which is perfect.

HL: This.



It's a doujin comic by a friend. I commented that the male looks so much like the Baron, and she said "well, Baron and Louise are the source of inspiration after all", although the names are Loomis and Theresa.

I can take orders btw

@Roar...

I was going to comment on the resemblance to The Baron and Louise, then I read your post and thought, AH HA! No wonder, lol...

Taking orders, huh... How good a friend? Is she married???

Kaz - cool! I assume that involves a study abroad period too? And although you're focusing on Japanese, do you get the opportunity to try the others?

Yes, I'll go to Japan for my third year. Not sure whereabouts, one of the students that spoke to us about the course went to Nagoya for her year but I'm sure there'll be plenty other places to go as well. And yes, absolutely we can study the other languages as well but they just warned us to be careful of trying to take too much on. Saying that, they actively encourage every student of the university to try learning a new language while they study there. And they've got a lot of good resources for that, Rosetta Stone software for one... I've never used it but heard it's really good. I think I would like to learn a little of something else at least, probably Chinese.

Highlight: I'm in Korea! It's only until Saturday night, but that should still be enough time to have a lot of fun. We had to sleep in the airport last night because of the early flight, so I'm pretty tired out, but I'm enjoying myself so far.

HL:
I was able to meet one of the people I know from fb. He is the cousin of a lady I've know for a long time. We are both interested in local history...

HL: Call back from a recruiter.

On a related note, I must be the only employee prospect to regularly request lower pay. Still hard to get used to people's incredulous reactions ^o^
