So for courses I have Intermediate Japanese, Microeconomics, and Asian History. I bought the textbooks I need, and the History Professor added another book to read to the course. Also there is a book to read for Microeconomics.
Well I am still not in Sociology, and no one was at the registration help desk she helped one guy, and then disappeared, needless to say I wasn't impressed, and didn't stand around. I wanted to deal with this today, guess I will go talk to the professor on Wednesday... Apparently the topic this year is poverty, now that I can understand. I just need to see which books I need, and if the textbooks are the same. Screw this faculty's consent I got back into History so why not Sociology, what is so special about it?
I just emailed my conversation partner, hopefully I can meet her before the event on Monday night. :D

Course Registration and Plans
Okayy so I registered for courses, all but one, and I might drop another one...
I can't get back into Sociology at the moment but I got back in my History course that I failed. Apparently I need the faculty's consent to get back into Sociology.
There are no courses I want to take. University is nothing like I thought it would be... I need to get out so after first semester I am going to work my butt off to pass those courses, and I am not coming back second semester.
I cannot do it. I am not smart enough for university, and like I said there is nothing I want to take.
I should have stuck to art, and what not but no. I just didn't know what I want to do. Life is confusing in that sense.
I am going to be helping out with the Japanese Society this year too.
The new Japanese students are here! I cannot wait to meet my Conversation partner on Monday. =D

Bye Bye :(
The Japanese Student's left yesterday, and I didn't get to say goodbye. It's because I have been working like crazy, and I need to sleep. :( I really loved my conversation partner. I at least have her email. I missed the festival, graduation, and talent show because I was away, and work. I really hate that.
I know my conversation partner's name for the fall. I can't wait to meet her but I will miss the one I because she was amazing.
Now on another note...
The thing is though I let this program that could allow me to go to Japan tie me to my hometown university. My first choice was Animation at New Brunswick Community College Miramichi, and I was intimidated by the program so I didn't bother, this is back when you actually had to do a portfolio. I applied to Saint Thomas and University New Brunswick both for Education but the background check papers where too much for me. By the time it came around I said screw it Mount Allison for the Japanese program. Also the fact that it is cheaper. I really shouldn't have done that. I have a lot of regrets about that. Somethings happened that were good but that was after the school year was over, but I kept falling apart all over the place. I cannot let that happen again this year. I am retaking the courses I failed. I won't be staying though. I am completely scraping the Japan idea for teaching. Maybe I will go there someday. I don't have the GPA to be accepted in the program anyway. Holding onto something is what I am good at. I'd feel better at arts, something more hands on. Most of my courses in high school were arts related. I know where I am going, and I am excited. I feel bad for wasting money at Mount Allison.

Still Not Much Going On
Once again I have taken a long time to post here.
I have been mostly working, and on/off sick. It is annoying.
I did cook Tempura with my Japanese conversation partner. We used onions, carrots, avacado, potato, mushroom, and hot dogs. The hot dogs were really good. We also went to Tim Horton's the next time. I forgot about the river rafting trip so I didn't get to go. :( I also don't get to go to the Japanese Festival because I am going away again! Damn I fail I also miss their grad banquet.
School is almost back in session, and I am kind of scared. I will not be staying at Mount Allison for a 3rd year, and I am looking into other places for plans, and shall be working on that throughout the school year.

Belated, But I am Back
Oh shoot, it's been a while. I haven't had time to do much with the Japanese students. I was working, and on vacation.
I was, and still am working very hard, I am a part-time worker with full-time hours.
I went on vacation with my boyfriend, and this is why I was away for ten days, I cannot believe I didn't mention this in my last entry. I have a boyfriend now. Shocker, and he isn't Asian, shocker number two. So yes, I met most of his family, very nice people. I have also been to places I have never been before, and met plenty of new people.
So my Japanese Conversation Partner gave me Hello Kitty things for my birthday; a plushie, band-aid's, two ruler cases made by her grandmother, two sticker sheets, and a notebook. <3 We finally got to talk one night last week.
I am finally 19, but I have to wait to get my Photo ID because I have no birth certificate, it's on the way though.
Not much else is going on in my life at the moment though.
