So far I have had a lot of fun with the Japanese students. I feel closet to four, and they are all friends with each other. I met two the day before the scavenger hunt, and I met my conversation partner, and I met another one of her friends on the shopping trip this past weekend. While shopping with them I bought clothes from H&M, and Urban Outfitters. We will be going to Hopewell Rocks, and the Ranch nearby it this weekend, and I am quite excited. I have grown up in the Maritimes, and I know of Hopewell Rocks, but I have never been there, and I don't know where it is. That should be a fun trip. My conversation partner, and I also went to McDonald's with my Conversation Partner. She gave me a Purikura photo of her, and her friend, and I will keep that always. She also gave me, and my Dad each a pair of chopsticks. I can't wait to have more fun with them again sometime soon.
It is going to be really hard in August when they leave, I will miss them dearly.

Final Marks (^^);
So...I...um...got my marks.... I passed Macroeconomics with a C which makes me go WTF?! I thought I failed that course. I failed Asian History though... I thought I would fail Economics... I have to apply myself more next year. My best mark was of course Japanese. I passed everything else just barely... I am going to retake the courses I failed, so Sociology, and the History Course. I have to see about a Commerce major. OMG I am so scared. I feel so stupid. I tried harder second semester I swear but I just suck. :'(

They're Here! ~~~ヾ(^∇^)
I still haven't got my marks yet. I am going to go get that fixed tomorrow.
So yesterday I met my Japanese Conversation Partner, and she is the cutest. I also ran into a lot of them in town on Saturday because they went shopping, and I was downtown shopping as well. We did a scavenger hunt yesterday, and it was pretty insane. We didn't win but we had a great time. I really enjoyed it. I hope to have an enjoyable summer with the Japanese Students. I am still bitter about not getting a Resident Assistant job but maybe next year, I hope.

Summer
So exams are done. I would have posted sooner but my netbook was sent to Ontario for repairs. I knowingly failed Macroeconomics because I left most of the exam blank. I really did not like the professor or the teaching style. I have to go to the university because I can't register for courses, and I can't see my marks because I have an "outstanding payment", and I did pay off my account by the way. I am probably going to be put on academic probation next year. I compared the Bachelor of Arts Programme, and the Commerce Programme, and I like Commerce more so I am going to see if I can make the switch. I still want to minor in Japanese studies though. I also need Psychology which I am redoing, and Economics, which I am redoing with a different professor. I will probably redo Sociology eventually as well. I really want to do well. I also want to go to Japan, on the exchange program quite badly. I had applied for a second job with the university but I lost out due to seniority, even though I was perfect for the job, it was an Resident Assisant Job for the Japanese Students that stay for the summer. I do have a Japanese conversation partner for the summer though, and I am quite excited for that. I will post throughout the summer because I am still involved with the university in some way~ I will also post again when I find out my marks, and get this student account thing fixed.

Exams Next Week
Exams next week, ohhh gawd. D: I am currently under the weather, and trying to study without passing out. I have an English Exam Thursday, Japanese Exam Friday, History Exam Saturday, Economics exam the next Tuesday or Wednesday, and Commerce Exam Friday. I cannot fail any course this time, if I do I am so screwed. I am .1 point below the acceptable Grade Point average. I really need to do well since I failed Sociology last semester which I failed, and hated, and probably should have dropped.
