My worldly possessions have still not yet arrived with me here. I did, however, receive a call this morning from the men who have my goods. I expected them to say something along the lines of "we haf ze documents. Eef you wish zem returned to you, you vill deliver fife meelion of your dollars to..." and so on. But no, I was simply told that my stuff's in Oregon and should be to me on Wednesday. Only a week after the due-date on the contract, so not too shabby.
In other news, I got back my first paper in my lame-ass Intro. to Japan Studies class. I got a B, which was better than I was expecting, and about what the paper was worth. However, I find it a little difficult to take advice on writing from someone who circles the "more so" and asks "is this a word?" First, no, it's two words. Second, yes, it is a perfectly valid phrase. In theory I'm meant to learn something while I'm here, right? I mean, besides how to be even more obnoxious, self-righteous and conceited than I already am?
Beyond that? Due to the lack of anything remotely comfortable to sit on and for other reasons which will soon become apparent, I'm feeling incredibly restless. I'm so easily distracted I may just stop this post in mid-

So it's Wednesday...Do you now have your stuff?
I don't think you're technically meant to learn stuff in Japanese Studies 104. It's kinda like the 7th packet of ketchup you get in a take out order from McDonalds. It's a nice to have, you'd feel cheated if you didn't have it, but you don't actually need it.
Of course, what do I know, I have a tendency to get so distracted that I may just stop this post in mid-

Wasn't the drivers' fault, Brian. Or so the Russians would have us believe... Eh, whatever. Stuff's here now and my dad will likely get some money back for the delay.
Marc, I don't know that I'm going to learn anything at all over the course of the next two years. It'll be much like my undergrad years in that respect.

It was still a good excuse to use that line.
