Hmm

Well now that Reese helped me make this thing all snappy and pretty, maybe I should actually write in it...

What's new... Midterms over, lots of projects still left to do (language and gender paper and presentation, primate conservation paper, paper for poli sci, and yet another paper...).

Trucking away with my Japanese. It's hard, but I'm trying not to get too frustrated or disheartened. Fortunately I have some friends over here who can help me as well, and that's always nice. My friend Keith helped me with my pathetic sentence translations last night. Got a lot of 'oooh so close, but...' and then he'd rewrite the sentence only using one or two of my original words. Well, I'm learning slowly but surely. Not doing too bad either, considering I'm doing it on my own with very little real guidance.

I am also not really feeling my yoga class tonight, which is weird 'cause that's my favorite part of the week. I'm tired dammit! I think I'll sorely miss this class though when I'm in Japan. It's so much easier to keep on top of excercise when you have other people to do it with on a regular schedule. Sigh...

Oh, I'm going to try adding a picture. Haven't done that here yet.


Hmmm, seems to have worked. That's my brother Joel playing with our dog Bear. They love to chase each other around the house. It's very cute.
