～冬の憂鬱～

This is what happened to my ring after extreme gaming. *Yeah, I'm that hardcore XDDD*

Anyways, there is not much new on my end. The end of the term has arrived and I am very happy! ^-^ I checked my grades on the 18th and they were what I was expecting. "B"'s in my ASL and Math class <= Biggest shock there. "C" in my Writ. 102 class. *Mainly due to the fact that I had failed to do one paper. I kind of regret it now* This term boosted my GPA, but only by a little. *After last term, I needed a boost. :/*

On Friday, Arlden *friend of mine since 5th grade* and I went to Seattle to visit Sushiland. Basically, it was a medium sized kaiten 「回転」 somewhere near the center of the city. It was pretty cool really. Essentially, everything was the same as the ones they has back in Japan, but with more workers and not as much to choose from. *at the time, at least* Nonetheless, it was still pretty cool.

Prior to that, we had gone to Gameworks *the only true arcade in this place* and it was ok. Just ok. The only good games there were Taiko no tatsujin 9 「太鼓の達人 9」 and this one assassin shooting game. Other than that, there was nothing special.

Aside from work, which has been cutting my hours since last week, all I've been doing is practicing bass and playing on our new 360. Been playing Orange box and it's pretty awesome. Bass wise, I've just been coming up with random stuff b/c I'm tired of doing covers. Eventually I'll get back into work on some songs, but for now, I'm just experimenting.

December is also the month where I plan for upcoming trips for the upcoming year. I'm not entirely sure yet, but I may head off to Japan this summer. Once again, however, I'm not entirely sure. Might also plan another trip down to CA. I'm working out how much to save and how much might be spent. So far, I'm in the clear, as far as funds go.

Taste of Chaos will be heading to Seattle April 19th and I can't wait. Tickets start going on sale Jan. 5th, so I'll be sure to get mine that day. Ajikan will be releasing a new single in Feb. as well: "Korogaru ishi, kimi ni asa ga furu" 「転がる岩、君に朝が降る」. Much like "After Dark"「アフターダーク」, I will be anticipating this one as well. If you want to see the new cover for the single click here.

Anyways, it's like 4am and I'm finally getting tired XD So, I'll just got to bed. I have to clean tomorrow *Today technically* b/c my bros and I will be heading to the east coast to visit family on my dad's side for the holidays. :/ From what my bros say, it's not that bad, but I'll have to see for myself.

End of Term Update

Well, the term is ending. Next week is finals. It's not so bad this time around. I took my ASL final on Wed. and it wasn't too bad. If I didn't do good on some parts, then I made up for it in the bonus points area. XD

Now, I just have to rework and finish my final Writ. 102 paper for Monday. *I'm doing it on Video Game Vs. Movie Ratings* I've got six pages done, but from my RD review, those pages need some serious revision. *Not a surprise. I did four of the pages 2 hours before I had to turn it in XDD*

Thought I didn't have to take my math final, but I found out on Thurs. that I have an 86%. *In my book, that is a really good grade* and I needed a 92% or better in order to skip it. So, on Tues., I'll be taking that. It doesn't look so bad. Maybe if I studied, I could get a good grade on a math test for once..... hmmmmm..... ><

*Sorry for the size ><*

• Math 108 = Statistics and Probabilities. *I don't know why, but I want to take this class over "The literature of Math"*
  
  
• Musc 147 = Class Piano I *Way back when, I had no desire to learn the piano, but learned a little bit anyways. Now, I want to try again.*
  
  
• Chem&105 = Chemical Concepts (or Basic Chemistry I) *It was a miracle I made it through Chemistry in HS and with a B, no less. Now, I'm taking a few steps back and redoing the class, college style*
  
  
• Psyc&200 = Lifespan Psychology *A class similar to what V.M.L took, but I'm not sure if it's the same. Basically, the psychology of Life and Death. Sounds fun, right?*

Well, that's really all that needs to be said in this entry. Stay tuned for more reviews!
