japanese club today. well, kind of. apparently sakakura-sensei didn't know there was a meeting. so, i borrowed the love hina manga of aharon's that i had been reading and we went home early. actually, aharon let me borrow the first four novelish things. what, graphic novels? i read three of them today. mwahaha. it's a really good manga.

aaargh. everyone's been sick lately. it's icky. about ten people i know have been sick in the past week or so. usually this many people don't get sick at once. i wonder if there's a cold epidemic? i had a stuffy nose for about a week, nikki had lots of ickiness for a little over a week. claire, kymberlee, shaina, all missed school because they were sick. and there are the various feeling icky, but still coming to school people.

eric, i think, is switching out of fourth period tok. gah, that period keeps getting more boring. apparently allie is switching in, which is good since she's nice and someone to talk to, and bad since it means she and kymberlee will spend all period talking about the avs. ah, well.

i brought my mp3 player to school today, and listened, not to mp3s, but to mlir (modern life is rubbish, the first blur cd i ever bought...). wow. but, it's been a long time since i listened to music in school. it was rather nice. and, i brought magical mystery tour to school, and nathan was happy. he was also happy to discover that "i am the walrus" is on that cd. he goes, "wow, that's my next favorite song!" very cool.

the essay i did for parsons was actually kind of fun once i got into it. he made me explain a paragraph in we. so i turned it into a poem. don't ask. it was quite fun though, surprisingly so. the essay on friday, however, is probably not going to be fun. i don't know what it's going to be about, but i was talking to parsons, and he says that we've already written what we need for the essay. i'm like, what the? oh, well.

mom is returning to us on friday at 9 or so (her flight gets in at 8:30). i will probably see her at 9:30. unless i go with dad to the airport to pick her up. that would be nice. but, apparently uncle scott named mum the beneficiary of his life insurance. so, we're going to be wealthy, at least for a while. my dad's planning on getting hdtv and surround sound. my mom wants another computer. she's like, "i'm going to take you on a vacation. i need to give you something." she asks me what kind of car i want, i tell her an old used crappy sedan. she finds this hilarious. she tells my grandparents. they find it hilarious. but, as soon as i get my license, i figure i can have my own car. and some of the money, mom says, is going into my college fund.

aaargh, but, she's shipping the cougar out. i think he's going to reside outside my office. she also mentioned placing him in the kitchen, but that would be even creepier. i mean, there's a damn cougar staring at you as you eat breakfast.

anyways, i ought to go to bed. really, i ought to finish my math homework, but between bed and math, i prefer bed.
