So! I finally got my new laptop! The VAIO VGN-P70H hehe - the red model. The model only just came out in Japan early this month, I think. 8 inches, 640 grams, 4.5 hr battery - it was perfect as a laptop.

Right after the seminar on Tuesday, I practically flew to Yodobashi in Umeda to get it and came back home at a decent time even. The sole purpose of me getting this new laptop was to be able to type in Japanese - plus I thought having a Vista would be useful especially from the next semester since a lot of pcs at Uni have upgraded. The new Word docx format doesn't work on the old, and it's troublesome to convert it and oh-so-easy to forget to do so.

Then again I haven't bought the program for Word yet - I should probably go this weekend. Reports are coming up! They're not as scary as they used to be, but they are reports and they need to be done.

Another thing is that I've just submitted a sort of pre-proposal for my dissertation today. It's not the official proposal/title but it was necessary in a survey so they can assign me a professor to work with from the next semester. I doubt that it would be any other professor than whose seminar I'm taking now, but I still hope that they will let me go under his wing haha.... He's really popular with the students so he's bound to have his hands full.

Anyway I'm off to sleep now since I have a study session with the girls at Uni from 10am tomorrow... I'll need to study for my exam on Monday! (The one I'm reading all these books on philosophy for....). And then I'll be going to a koto concert tonight. 3 hours of traditional Japanese music... woohoo??! I'm the kind of person that falls asleep in these kind of concerts. I'm in sooo much trouble... (>.<) Why did I plan this trip to the concert hall you say? ...Why indeed. Hmm.
