College So Far
Well, it's good to be back in Oregon and I get to see a lot of my friends. (Can't forget the faster internet service, but we won't get wireless in our building until mid-September.) Unpacking my stuff only reminded me to pack less and throw away more stuff. I sold some of older manga and got around $17 back at Powell's. I'll probably use that when the new Vampire Hunter D novel and manga arrive.
Classes so far aren't so bad. Right now I'm taking History 101, Art History, Japanese 400, and Digital Illustration. I'm still debating whether I want to really major in Japanese while minoring in Art and Creative Writing. In order to get into the creative writing I need to clear Expository Writing (aka English(Writing) 201) but all five classes are full. So I'm having fun playing stakeout with the one class I want. =_='''''
Japanese 400 is a bit daunting for me. Majority of my classmates came back from studying abroad and I feel I have a major disadvantage compared to them. But the professor's encouraging me to stick to it. I really have to even more effort into her class.
I'm happy I got into the Digital Illustration class. We get to work with the latest programs of Illustrator and Photoshop. (CS3!!! X3) I get to bring in my tablet and we have our own sketchbook. I should make a cover for it when I have some time.
My roommate brought up her PS2, but we haven't been playing since we didn't rent out a TV yet. The games she brought are Ookami, We <3 Katamari, Legend of Dragoon(PS game), FFX and Kingdom Hearts. I think I'll start off with KH first....but Ookami looks like fun too.
She's also planning to get a Wii too. I just need to learn to concentrate on my studies first or else I'll end up like my guy friends living in a quad and play Super Smash Brothers Melee. XD Though I could use some training before Brawl comes up. Since Marth, my favorite character, is being replaced, I need to find a new character that suits me.
Sunday, some of the Hawaii club members (including myself and my roommate) went to the Oregon State Fair. NEVER AGAIN. It was so expensive. Nine dollars to get in, you have to pay for tickets (I bought $20 worth of tickets which equals 40 tickets) and buy your own food. The only good thing was finding and buying a Byakuya plushie, though it was ten dollars. (Well, how often do you run into those plushies anyway?)
Well, I hope I survive this semester....
