LL: Feeling... weird. I still can't concentrate on schoolwork and it's driving me crazy.  I want to do well. Perhaps someday I'll be able to pursue a MFA (luckily, I'll probably be able to get in without amazing marks, because I suck at school). Or something. Right now I feel so, blegh..
HL: Might be able to minor in two subjects.  If the right courses are available next year. Honestly, I'd be so happy if I could. My only problem is I'm behind in credits for my major because I'm retaking a course, and I'd have to take a seminar course next year before one of its prereqs since I can't budge my schedule next semester a whole lot unless I take overload. Which... I can't handle.  The head of the department for my potential second minor is my professor so I'll try and see if she can help me out.

HL: Joined a new forum today and one of the first users who replied to me is from the same area as me!  He has similar interests to me and age so I do hope he'll get back to me. He's still a student, so he might even go to my school or one of the nearby ones.
LL: I seem to get rather cynical, sarcastic sort of responses from people. =A=;; Which is... belittling. I might be over thinking things.
Also fought with a girl earlier about reproductive rights because my province has a new government in charge now and she hates the main party (liberals). I think you can imagine what I mean.

You mean you don't have the rights to reproduce or your friend hates liberal reproduction? 
LL: Second run of the week, this time with my phone to record the distance and time. It was with a 5kg load and I was holding myself back, but it's still shockingly disappointing to see my pace drop by a minute from my usual. It was actually much slower in the beginning until the 5-min checkpoint when the timer alerted me to how horribly slow I was going.
Oh, and my thighs are back to pain more again. Probably gonna be like this twice a week every week until november.

Hahaha.
LL: Broke my cell phone after only two years. It fell lightly and worked for a second, but won't turn on now... sigh.
HL: Guess I'm getting an iPhone sooner than I thought. ._. Although I'm quite sad over the loss of my phone. Had so much on it and was hoping to hand it in in exchange for cash. I just backed up the thousands of pictures on it to my boyfriend's laptop fortunately so the loss isn't overly horrible.

HL: Fun night at the pub with new friends.
LL: Wow, I just did so badly on a kanji test. Lol, so badly. I even managed to mess up the most basic stuff that I've written a thousand times. This is why I shouldn't be in second year level class, sensei. Pfft. Going to write her an email later and ask to change.

How's the rest of your Japanese though? In Kyoto there was a guy in my class who was definitely better than me at speaking, understanding, vocabulary etc, but his kanji knowledge was terrible. And while that was a stumbling block a few times, he was absolutely good enough for that class. I think it's quite normal for your level in different aspects of the language to not match up.

Not nearly solid enough for my liking. I'm probably weakest of all at speaking; listening isn't bad, vocabulary's... eh, okay I suppose. Not where it should be. I remember grammar rules well. Anyway, this is what I want to do. I don't mind going over basics again. I really want to consolidate what I have before attempting to move onto new things.

That makes sense! I just felt that being dissatisfied about kanji alone would be not enough reason, but I totally understand if you want to work on other things too before going into a higher-level class.

If the kanji test was a written test, don't fret: a large majority of Japanese can't write kanji either  It's kinda like how a large majority of native English speakers can't speak proper English.
HL: Legs not hurting. Should have pushed harder but I can't complain about not being in pain, haha.
LL: Haze is back, and with it, sore throat and runny nose.

HL: Ghibli movie night on a big projector screen 
With the closure of ghibli, I actually feel like having a weekly ghibli session and rewatch all the movies per week, or at least the ones I own. Although I think I can skip Nausicaa since I watched that at the cinemas a few months back.

HL: Went on a trip yesterday with a group I'm a part of. Met some of the younger incoming students. There was a really nice Korean girl whose brother is in my year and she's really into kpop. She told us a bunch of ghost stories while walking in the woods. lol Also made friends with a Japanese guy whose a full time student. We talked a lot about music and stuff.
Also, getting my new phone today, hopefully. Scared how much this is gonna cost me...
