Well there’s a setback for you.
We had a project due in Literature today. Pretty straightforward and simple; just write down five quotes from our current book, tell who the speaker is and why it’s important to the story.
Naturally, I’m half asleep all of yesterday and find myself saying “Gah… five more minutes… five more minutes, dammit!” until I find myself outside the doorway to her classroom.
“All right. This isn’t too bad, it’s only fifty points and I can afford the late grade if I can make it truly- wait, what’s that on the board? No, no, no no no no no. Please don’t say..”
NO WORK ACCEPTED AFTER TODAY

I am screwed.

However; tonight I can perfect my Japanese project and plan out how I present it. That, and I can read up on Japanese art history and Japan’s war with Russia, make a damn good case in History tomorrow and astound the teacher, use the fact that I got to observe everyone else’s presentation to my advantage and revise mine, study my math, organize my notes, and try NOT to think about the fact that I just royally raped my average in the class that means the most to me.
I’ll slip it in tomorrow, and see if she makes an exception or if I can convince her that she lost it. But at least I’m not obsessing over it, not at all, nope, not a bit.

I IM’d someone my friend knows fairly well, and who I think I would like judging from his description.

...I didn’t exactly realize how strange that would be for him.

Oh well. At least I’ve learned from it.

Watashitachi wa Nihongo gakosei desu. Demo, watashi wa ichi nensei desu. Anatatachi tasukemasu? Kono wa hitoride o tegowai shimasu.

If I didn’t botch that too badly, it should say:

“We’re Japanese students. However, I am a first year. Will you help me? This will be difficult to do alone.”
