Hmm...

This week has been the best week ever. Except for that stat exam I had to take on Thursday.

The oddest thing happened on Monday though during my Japanese speaking exam. During the first part of the exam my prof was asking me a question and I had no clue how to respond. So I was sitting there with a clueless look on my face and staring out the window trying not get upset. Suddenly my Japanese prof laughs quietly and I look towards him he says "You look cute." I was like, what? He then said, "You just looked cute sitting there".
Then after the exam we were just talking because I was the last person to go on that day and didn't have anywhere to be. It was nice talking about Japan and school and stuff. The suddenly he's like, "Can you take off your glasses for a second?" I, being the naive fool that I am, took them off. He looks at me and the says, "Yup, pretty good" At this point I was like, o_O.... *sweatdrop* It was soooo odd. *hides*
He's cool and stuff (grad student), but still.... o_O

Anyway... Not much happened otherwise this week. Just lots of work and shit. I have a chem exam Monday... bleh.

It's funny though... In a way my mom was right this vacation. I was upset because she said that it was healthy for Pat and I to not see each other for that whole week. I didn't get it then. Now I see her point. I totally appreciate him being around so much more. I've been kinda clingy, but he likes that I guess because it didn't happen much before. Me=way happy. ^^

Nothing comes to mind. For right now though.. this song:

Mukashibanashi wo suru hodo ikitano kana
Fuzukeau dake ja nakute ima wo katariaeru
Now I've gotta say I found the way
Kizuita yo Who I need in my life
Kimi ga soba ni iru koto
Now I've gotta say I found the way
Mitsukete ne Who I want to love
Donna yowasa mo hanaseru
Kimi to nara
Ai wo tozashite
Kokoro wo takasu you ni
Sashidasu omoi wo uketometa
Ude no naka tsutawatteka
Odayaka na tsuyosa ni
Eien wo kanjita ma
And we'd get there someday.

Translation of song under cut:
Maybe we are too old to talk about the past
Without joking anymore, we are about to communicate
Now I've gotta say I found the way
I've realized who I need in my life
Because of having you near me
Now I've gotta say I found the way
I've found out who I want to love
I can talk about my weakness
With you
Though I wasn't able to love
You took my heart
By accepting my feelings
In your embrace I can feel it
In your gentle strength
I can feel eternity
And we'd get there someday.
(Theme to Maburaho)

I've got a story for ya about DDR!
I tried playing it once in Chinatown in Melbourne - but i got laughed at.
And that was before i even got up to dance on it.
....To make matters worse - I lasted no more than 40 odd seconds on each level/stage before getting boo'd off by the game, and the people around.
Never again, will i make fun of myself on that game!!! lol.

And just a quick question - where'd you get that meme-thingie (i'm totally lost when it comes to thing like this!!!) from? Infact - do you kno any decent ones?

Keep it sup!

It might make the heart grow fonder but you don't tend to think about that during the absence...

You can do it!! The semester is almost over.

Aww... DDR is fun. You just have to ignore the people and keep trying and you'll get better!!

As for the meme's... I usually just keep an eye out for them on my friend's page and do the ones that look cool. You would also try http://memegen.net/mainpage.pl which has some fun one. That or there's quizilla ^^
