Really? It's been since Halloweeen since I've updated? I'm so sorry for that!
I have no excuse for not writing, just plain ol' forgot.
Well, it's been 2012 for 24 days, 7 of those were interesting and here's why.
Last Tuesday, the day after MLK's birthday, was supposed to be the first day of the Spring Semester. That did not happen. A snow storm hit the Olympia area and most of those who live off campus lost power (campus has generators thank God). And because of the horrific weather we had no school until yesterday.
So, today was the second day of classes. Pretty ok, but as I suspected so much freakin' reading and writing!!! Well, that's what I get for taking two English classes and a writing course.
One of my classes focuses on Charles Dickens. It should be interesting, here's the animation we watched on his life, it's funny.

Spring, 1998. Recently transferred to Yomiyama Kita Middle School, Kouichi Sakakibara (15) gets the feeling something isn't quite right with his class, who all seem to be afraid of something. He finds himself attracted to the strange yet beautiful Mei Misaki, but his efforts to get closer only confound things further. Then there is a horrible accident… What on earth is happening in this place? “Another” is a new kind of schoolyard horror mystery from Yukito Ayatsuji, the standard-bearer of the “neo-orthodox mystery” movement. The original novel was called a “new masterpiece” by its author, and the long-awaited TV Anime version will debut in January of 2012, ahead of the release of the live-action film version in summer. The main staff for the TV Anime version includes Tsutomu Mizushima as director, Noizi Ito handling character design, and P.A. WORKS in charge of production. The staff and studio have a succession of hits to their names, and have formed a fantastic team to tackle this definitive piece in horror Anime. -Source
