Spring Break

Well, I'm ready for spring break now. yesterday was a wild wednesday. two tests and a super-face paced lecture on the heart. I think my teacher was talking as fast as a pacemaker cell depolarizing! It was crazy. but, it was nice to get that all done and over with. today and tomorrow's going to be relaxing.

so, yeah, that's all. people out there are probably thinking "what kind of post is that?! we don't care about school and silly tests! we want randomness!"

okay, here's randomness: I bought a half-pint carton of chocolate milk, exactly like the ones I used to have for lunch in elementary and middle school. It was fun drinking it. And it was cheap. only 39 yen. It was great.

I finished the last book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Awesome! And it left me in that familiar void of "Now what? What do I do after an ending like that?" but, I solved that in picking up "Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians" figured I could get caught up with those books. but, yeah, for all you out there who haven't read the Percy Jackson books (a.k.a. The Lightening Theif) I highly recommend them. they're really good. And: don't judge a book by its movie.

the movie was nothing like the book. It was just a scratch of the plot line.

so, yeah, I'm done now. Time to see if my teacher posted questions. I like answering questions. (not!)

And that was some good advice from the Elvish Pirate Gypsy: You can't run away from your own two feet. Wise words!

toodles!

Snow craziness

Hello Jekka Jones, this is America!

I feel like doing a post, but I don't know what so I'll fall back on the good ol' weather approach.

Besides my cousins coming down and spending the night as they were on their way to Zion's *jealous growl* it was quite the interesting day. I got up in the morning, had breakfast and went to institute. As i was walking to institute, it was a really nice morning except for the super strong wind blowing from the south and a big ominous dark cloud creeping over the mountains. It was actually quite pretty. The sun was on the verge of being covered by the clouds, but it still shot out a sunbeam through a little indent. I wish I had a picture of it. It was really cool.

then, within twenty minutes (I was well and comfortable in my class) it all erupted into a blizzard of the Elvish Pirate Gypsy Minion Fiend's white bugs which last until 1:00. Then the clouds disappeared, taiyou-sama came out, and the two inches of snow melted away. Now it's a beautiful day and hardly any snow on the ground.

So, yeah, it was a cool day. coolio enough, it stopped snowing by the time I was walking home from classes. so that was nice.

I watched gakeno ueno ponyo. It was cute, but I really wanted to watch it in nihongo. Alas, I was watching it on our TV and the DVD remote has been lost for many months. so. . I watched it in english. It was cute, but I was dying to watch it in nihongo. especially because I kept translating it into nihongo in my head. And, when it came to the awesome theme song I was dying to hear, it was in english! yeah, I was bummed. I'm going to watch it in nihongo next time. most definitly!

well, America reporting out! Catch ya later Jekka Jones!

(I wonder how many people will get that. . . .)
