Once Again

I finally finished all my exams today (well, yesterday). It was a great feeling. I’ve done so much work that it’s a great relief to get the bulk of it done. Now all I have to do is wait till August to see if all that work was worth it (that’s when the grades come out). I had Travel as my last exam. It wasn’t too hard, I found. Obviously, saying that meant that I did pretty rubbish on it. If it is rubbish, I’ll re-take it next year. I’m dropping Geography, as I just find the subject really boring now. I used to really enjoy it. The teachers I had at GCSE were awesome. Now we have two boring teachers teaching a boring subject. What fun.

On Saturday, I saw Sex and the City: The Movie. I’ve seen the series enough to realise what the whole premise of the franchise is. I found it to be okay. It wasn’t as frank as the series. Well, the movie was frank, but it didn’t really go into depth like the series. I suppose because they can spread the issues they deal with between numerous episodes, while the movie only has 2 hours to tell its part of the story. There’s probably also the influence of Hollywood; they’re only interested in making money, so they try to appeal to everyone, even though the movie already had an audience. The whole movie did feel like a really extended episode. And they kind of spent the first half an hour introducing the characters, probably for the benefit of people who have no knowledge of the series. I did love the fashion though. Some of the wedding dresses Carrie wore were beautiful. If I was a woman, I would want to get married in one of them.

Currently listening to: ロマンス、イラネ! by AKB48, from the album ロマンス、イラネ!

Stay Gold

So the spring break is coming to a close. I really didn’t do anything, which I’m pretty glad about. Gives me more time to rest and study. = D I’ve basically been doing the minimum amount of studying a day. I should probably work on a better regime next time. I should also make it fun. Sometimes I feel like I’m only studying to torture myself. But at least I’ll reap the benefits of ~good grades~.

So I’m thinking of signing up to a language course so I have some extra-curricular activities in my university application. Maybe Japanese or another Asian language so when I come to write my personal statement, I have something to use to show my interest in Asian languages. The Japanese course near where I live is meant to be a 4 year course, but I only have a year before I go to university. That doesn’t really bother me, because if I do the whole 4 years, then there’s really no point in doing a Japanese minor at university. I’d actually like to learn something other than Asian languages so I can prove I’m adept to learning other languages, but there’s nothing that has caught my eye. Maybe Spanish? I’m not very interested in it, but it’s something I can study further if I go to university (hopefully).

I’m totally in love with this Japanese band called AKB48. Yeah, they’re J-pop *hears people moan*. They’re a group of teenage girls (48 in total) who sing songs about wanting to make out with their teacher and taking off their school uniforms to experience adult pleasure. What’s not to like?
