I realized I never did update on the following days of Comic-con. I apologize if any of you were looking forward to those. If you want to know anything feel free to comment and ask!

Things have been rather busy--I wasn't kidding with that post earlier at the beginning of summer.I have the rest of this week off school but I'll be back in starting next week. Speaking of, I have to most interesting schedule. I know some have seen it already--but it's behind the cut for those that haven't.

You're so hypnotizing, you've got me laughing while I sing. )

I'll have a lot of huge breaks this semester, meaning outside of trying to grab a few extra hours at a Kentucky GameStop I'll be trying to get ahead on my homework and spending time with RP. YAY. I'm actually rather excited for this semester because it's a lot of course work within my major. It means I can't really be in my Japanese class this semester, but that's okay. I'll stop in when I can and otherwise study on my own.

So! I said I would likely post again...so I am.

This day turned out awesome, just as it started out to be! So...that's all good news.

My Admission Practicum, i.e. my observation class, has a lot of work to it. This work is mostly because our practicum assignments are actually building our online portfolios and resumes for the future--so I have to dissertations, philosophy statements, self evaluations, and complete a resume on top of observation periods in my assigned school. Still, it's rewarding and serves a purpose, so I don't think I'll mind much. I just have to be sure to stay completely on top of things.

My Japanese folklore class is going to be work as well. This is mostly because we are working with texts that have never been translated in their entirely. This means we will be reading them completely in Japanese. This is exciting, though slightly daunting considering the amount of studying that will need to go into this course. At least the material is interesting, and Nakamura-sensei is very dedicated to our success.

Speaking of Nakamura-sensei, I talked to him about being my third profession reference for my Practicum after class today. Not only did he agree, but apparently he used to be in charge of student teaching and the intensive graduate program for Japanese education majors. He is apparently very willing to not only be my reference but to also put me in contact with his contacts in the educational field. There is a reason he is one of my favorite teachers.

I am currently sitting in my campus Starbucks, waiting to pass the hour that lies between now and my seminar. Today has started off fabulously so far.

I've had only one class so far, which was my modern American literature class. I have to say it will certainly be a class I will enjoy, if only for my professor. He's an older gentleman, of Chinese decent and I want to either adopt him or marry him I'm no sure which. He has an odd sense of humor, and laughs at all of his own jokes. He also can recite the opening chapter to Pride and Prejudice word for word--he demonstrated this fact to us in class. Also, the exams in this class? All open text, take-home, multiple choice exams outside of the fourth exam which is our final (and only) term paper. I think I'm in love.

The rest of today looks to be interesting too. As I said, in an hour I have a seminar. This class will be the time I will normally be in a high school for observation for the rest of the semester, but the first two classes are seminars so that we can be introduced to our faculty advisor from NKU, and so that we can be assigned to our schools that we will be observing at. I'm rather excited for that class. Then, to top off the day, I have my Japanese class. Last semester the topic was an intensive study for the JLPT, but this semester it's focused on Japanese folktales and myths with the final project consisting of translating one of our texts to English. It will be challenging, I'm sure, but I am also sure that it will be an interesting and fun class.

I'll likely be updating again later today when I get home with the final verdict of how the day went, but for now it is an awesome day.
