It's hothothot

My exams have finished and I only have 2 reports left to do! Woopee~~

Everything was going crazy until this Wednesday (when I had an exam for the first period and no more classes after that... which means that I went up to Uni that early in the morning just for one exam that finished at 10am and for nothing else........) After that exam I realised that, I have no more classes!! Two more reports and I am -done- for this semester.

Can't believe how time just flies so fast. This semester has been so crazy... I was basically busy and all laid out with plans from Autumn last year and now! Well, I'm not exactly without plans but it's -really- time to kick back and relax ^^ I'll be at home for most of next week doing reports and, really, just whatever, enjoying not needing to go up to Uni and then I start work... a lot of work at that English tuition place from the week after next!

I put in Koto practise in for all the Tuesdays next month too! Which doesn't really give me that much time between work and leisure (work -might- be from Wednesdays thru Saturdays but I'm not entirely sure? I think I must have misheard it... anyway I think I might need the extra money for Brunei T_T) I can't wait to go back! heeee


Oh... and I also decided last minute to go to that trip with my classmates! They left today (probably already) to Shirahama, in Wakayama for a one-night stay by the beach. It's the last time I'll be seeing some of them so I really wanted to go. I decided to leave tomorrow morning... and I'll only be there about 5 or so hours but I haven't seen the beach there yet. .... .... ... ... beach. volleyball. sand castles. yikes.

On strange dreams again

I slept 10 hours last night... and am very grateful for that but I woke up at 8am when I was supposed to at 7.30, since I was supposed to leave for classes at 8.30, I was in a complete rush - I thought I would be about 15 mins late for class. But then I realised as I entered the class - that there was no class! Haha ... the joke was on me. Class today was cancelled so we could prepare for the exam that's on Thursday... in 2 days. Well. Not that there was anything bad about being up at Uni so early, I still have to prepare for this last-minute presentation I volunteered for yesterday on ethnic conflict in Nigeria. It's not going to be polished up at all, but it's better than nothing. We were looking into the successes and failures of ethnic conflict management and we only had success examples so I just took up Nigeria as a quick example of a not-so-successful example.

Anyway! I was going to continue on strange dreams again today. There was something nagging me at the back of my head yesterday because I couldn't fully remember my dreams when it hit me late last night that there was something else I had forgotten. I dreamt that I was just completing my exams here in July one day, I slept one night and the next thing that happened was that I was waking up in Brunei - completely disoriented and it was already September. All these weird things started happening until everybody finally realised that I had amnesia and I completely lost all my memory of August. I didn't even know whether or not I sat for my exams - which amazingly enough was my prime fear in that dream. I think this was probably the first time I ever dreamt of having amnesia.

Well, I probably have to get started on that presentation again - I still have to convert it to Japanese and I have class in another hour... 2 more weeks... and then it's holidays!!

On strange dreams

I had the weirdest dream last night. So weird that I incorporated my alarm song into it several times and couldn't really 'wake up' for some time. I can barely remember what it was about though. All I can think about is the Zelda Phantom Hourglass game that I just jammed last night and the Ethnic Conflict book I was flipping just before I slept. Insert Buffy tVS that I've been watching recently... and you have my really, really weird dream.

I think there was civil war... or just war in 'my country'. I was following around a group of... military-like people. The whole dream was dark. I think we were near a port, because I vaguely remember seeing a ship.(That's Zelda for you) But we were in an alternate dimension where something that was supposed to exist was missing. (That's probably from Buffy). We were looking around for something really really special and there was fighting... there were theme songs LoL (I'm pretty sure that those songs came from my alarm clock). I basically had a whole movie/game in my head. It was really really weird. Right towards the end, I felt as if I was suffocating when I realised my nose was blocked (in reality) and that's how I woke up. Not really a nice way to wake up but I did. I'm kinda glad I did. Who knows what else I might have seen in that dream.
