Uni crunch time.  It’s happened before.  It’s happening now.  It will happen… err… one more time, then I graduate.  But alas it is happening now and it doesn’t get easier.

It’s weird… Because I think i’m gonna be on top of all my assessment and feel as though I got this but bam! Out of nowhere I’ve got an Artificial Intelligence assignment due in 4 days and I’m a little too far from completion for comfort!  So lately Tim and I have been pulling all day’ers trying to get our AI projects under control but it really is proving to be a massive dickhole of a task. The majority of time i spend pulling out large chunks of hair (with far too much ease) and Tim has seizures on the floor.  Not the most efficient way to program, I know, but it isn’t our fault.  I would like to credit the software OpenSim for the  full retardation of the project with special thanks to our lecturer who is forcing us to use it (when there are better software out there to serve the purpose we are trying to achieve).

Congratulations OpenSim, you are the winner!  Here’s your trophy! I believe this trophy adequately represents your usability, practicality, and overall awesomeness.

OpenSim, your trophy is special.  Soccer trophies have a soccer ball on top, golf trophies have golfers on the top, but your trophy carries an extra chromosome on top.  The chromosome is wearing a small hat with a propeller.  It also drinks out of a sipper cup.  Your trophy also sports heavily detailed  drool easing its way down the side of the it.  Your trophy does not have a flat base so that you may be able to sit it on your mantlepiece, instead the base is made of vomit and is irregular. There are no obvious handles to your trophy.  If your trophy were to pass GO, instead of collecting $200, it would murder small children.  Your trophy promotes cancer and violence against women.  Also, excluding the sections of your trophy that is made of vomit and a chromosome, your trophy is made of poo.

In my last post i mentioned that I was going for my “Japanese Placement Interview”.  The word “Interview” was the word used by Dr. Nagata and so i prepared myself for an interview.  I went through some listening excercises, went over some grammar and vocab…. I didn’t bother with too much kanji practice as I figured speaking would be the primary focus in this interview. I’m already pretty confident with my pronunciation.  And generally, with vocab and grammar fresh in my mind i’m generally pretty ok at speaking, i mean, i’m sure to the Japanese I probably speak like a 5 year old child – a 5 year old JAPANESE child! And so i’m happy enough with that for the time being.

I was set, I was pumped, I was only a wee bit nervous, and really, most importantly, I was open to whatever result I would receive.  So I turned up, there were a few people in the room and so I immediately thought that this must be like a group interview thing.  I didn’t know if I should wait before going in or what, and there were some people sitting down outside so I took a seat and waited for a bit.  I also had a bit of a chat with the people outside, they were also there for either the interview or just to gather some information.  One girl had already lived in Japan for a year, and one of the guys was fresh out of highschool and had never studied Japanese before.

I walked in and told one of the Japanese professors that I was there for the interview to which she replied (in her Obaachan-like Japanese accent): “Oh, you’re here for the test!” then she hands me 2 bits of paper and tells me to sit down and get started (politely of course).

Woo!! Exams are nearly over!!  Just got my Japanese exam on next Thursday and then it’s chillax time till Kansai Gaidai.

The past 3 exams were good – well one was  a presentation – but for all 3 i feel as though i’ve borderlined 6′s or 7′s (distinction’s or high distinction’s), so i could very well end up with 3 distinctions, or 3 high distinctions, and of course a blend of both.  Who knows.  As for Japanese, it depends how my study goes – but this is all theory, so i think i’ll be ok as long as i memorize my verbs – oh and kanji, but kanji is ok.  Me and Kanji are tight.

Ok so where to start? How about we start with the most important event first: Uni.

It’s FINALLY here!!

UGH! Japan is too far away! It’s so damn annoying…

Howdy all, as the title says, I got my university results! And I like very much!
