Feels weird to finally be back here. Now I know why so many of us leave for long periods; RL can be so blah.
Regardless, I will quite possibly be starting to do my job solo next week onwards since I just got my uniform, which was part of the reason I'm not allowed to attend to customers' calls alone. So yeah, finally time to see how "handy" I am as a technician.
LL: Safety boots are more like safety flip-flops. Lack of laces, or any form of securement, makes it extremely difficult for me to walk properly (I'm not a fan of elastics, as you can tell). Maybe I'll go to the cobbler and see if he can punch a few holes to thread a lace through.

I don't think punching holes on the tongue would violate anu safety laws though, especially when they're cheap metal-toe-only shoes.
And it's not the size. The size is just right, but because it's the slip-in type, there's no Velcro or laces, just elastic rubber to keep my foot in the shoe. Now most people are actually fine with this but I can't stand the shoe popping free from my heel with every step made worse due to its own weight. So like I said, it feels like flip-flops, and I like my shoes very secure.

Wait, why is adding laces to the shoes a bad thing? Aren't there safety shoes with laces already?

Haha wow, sounds like Tokyo Godfathers but less depressing xD I'm glad you solved the mystery. Can you share a pic where it's visible? Would be interested to see.

HL: Feeling a bit better. I'm not sure if the fact has passed yet. I've been weirdly lethargic and less than motivated this past week. Hopefully I can start focusing again and deal with the crap ton of schoolwork thrown my way.
The next year and a half is gonna be painful.

Eating syrupy crumpets and washing it down with freezing cold milk, refreshing!
That was my not so amazing highlight of my day

WL: Stumbled across textbooks on Japanese feminism, which is pretty cool. A few Japanese students at my school are feminists or interested in feminism and women's rights. One friend is hoping to do a major or something related to women's studies when she heads back to Japan so she's been taking courses here in preparation. I was actually trying to see if there were any websites or resources specific but there doesn't seem to be any? I did find some interesting books written by women writers in Japan. If I have the money, I'll probably check these books out. Some are collections of writing by women.
If I knew if my prof was staying next year, I'd probably ask her to do an independent study with me on this subject or something similar. I've found narratives in manga that could be feminist or link to it. I just thought it'd be cool to find some more books that may be related.

LL: Not a fun day at work. Made a simple paper jam worse by cracking the frame (it's a common problem, but still), feet got blisters because yeah I hate these shoes, big hoo-hah with the parts ordering system, and a copier couldn't detect my usb to do a firmware upgrade which means I need to go back to the same customer again.
I need corn ice cream. With biscuit sticks. And chocolate powder. On bread.

My school library barely has any of the novels I need for my courses let alone books on feminism. There is a row or two focusing on women's issues but some of the books are more dated now or not relevant to other areas. My prof is a student herself but doing her doctorate online, and she doesn't like how few books we have here. We can order them in online though from most university libraries on a loan so I might look into that. 
Our public libraries here aren't much better... They're also smaller. The city library might have some more resources but I don't get to go there often. I wish I lived in the next province because you can take books out of anywhere and drop them off at whichever library and they'll get resorted.
Problems with living in a rural place with economic problems and small universities.

HL: I got my first essay result since coming to university, and I got a first for it! So chuffed. Especially considering I wrote it on the day it was due, ha... It was on China in the 19th century and the fall of the Qing dynasty.

That's awesome, Kaz! I wish that will someday happen for me but probably not. lol
HL: My boyfriend is thinking of applying to a Harvard school. o.o
.... Well, maybe until he realizes it'll cost him 50k in tuition and fees alone. His friend attended this specific Harvard campus and was telling him about it because he asked him about master's degrees.
