So far, life is going pretty good. It's pretty hectic but it's not uncontrollable. Not yet.
Ha, I am taking this karate gym class, and while it's a good deal of fun, it's also painful. My legs hurt so much... Because it's two hours long, we have a lot of time to stretch out and our sensei makes the most of it. I'm just hoping that I heal up before the next class! The sensei is the most gung-ho sensei that I've ever seen. He gets all excited about everything and no one can understand him because his accent's so thick. I like it though - better than aikido because in that class, we never got verbal instructions - we had to copy the instructor's movements which was insanely difficult. Oh well, this is karate - it's what I've been doing for years and years so I'm naturally much more comfortable with it. But now I have to remember to chamber low for my punches - I got corrected a few times last night. Hanshi would be so sad that I am now struggling to chamber badly. It's hard to do though, so I must have been well taught!
Anime club is just crazy. I am amazed at how many new materials make it in every week. I spent most of Saturday finishing up checkouts and adding new items to the library - it took hours and I didn't even catalogue everything! But it looks like we practically doubled the size of the audio library which is kind of interesting. It's so sad that I haven't checked anything out of the library yet... There's so much stuff that I want to watch, but I have no time for it! I still have a ton of my stuff on my laptop that I need to watch too, so that's kind of in my way too. At least I'm forced to go to the weekly showings so I get to watch some stuff (but not the first feature, which makes me sad). I'm glad that I get to see the semester series though because they look good - we're showing One Piece (shounen comedy about pirates) and Last Exile (war and airplanes - very serious, very pretty) and I like them both, so that's great.
So, you might be wondering why I have no time to watch anime this year, when I watched so much this year? Well, now I have to do all my homework at night because during the day, not only do I have classes, but I also have a job! It's at the RetroSpective Collection - one of MIT's many libraries, and I start there tomorrow so that's kind of exciting. I'll be reshelving and cataloguing all the unmarked items. Looks like I'll be pretty busy with that, but at least I'll be earning money for it. ^_^ This is my first real job (sad, ne?) so I'm rather excited. Well, that's going to take up all day, so night is for homework. Friday is anime club, so that's all taken up there. Saturday is anime-club-library-upkeep-day and Sunday is 6.042 day (evil evil math). Oh, and I volunteered to help refurbish computers to provide to needy people in an attempt to bridge the Digital Divide. So community service too, yay! Uhm, yeah, so now I get to have no life whatsoever and I'm really really sad that I can't do a UROP because that's something that I should be doing... I need to see if bioinformatics is really the field of study that I want to involve myself in. But if I don't UROP in something in that area, how am I going to find out before it's too late?! Aargh... Well, there's always IAP. And next semester... *crosses her fingers*
Well, well, I must go to bed now. I have Japanese at 9 in the morning (eek!) so no more of this staying up until 2am thing for me. @_@ I am a changed person. At least until the work really starts piling on. So for now, I'll take sleep when I can get it. Also, something that I've learned over the course of a year at MIT - you're never going to get enough sleep so don't underestimate the power of the nap. ^_^ Ja ne.
