Konnichiwa! Guten Tag! O Genki desu ka? Wie geht es Ihnen?
Okay, I'll stop that, lol. My nickname is Jo-chan and I love Fruits Basket! (the manga especially) My favourite character is Momiji!
I'm 18, rabbit, pisces, Canadian.
I like JPop (Hamasaki Ayumi) and JRock (Dir en Grey). People think I'm weird because of my wide taste in music ranges from classical to head-bashing JRock. Currently I've been listening to Dir en Grey the most and it's the inspiration I need for my newest novel I'm working on.
I'm more of a writer than anything else... but I do try to draw every now and then... though it never turns out as well as I'd like...
Oh well, I'm not gifted in everything :)

Curled Up With Lexie
Went to my Grandparents' house (mom's side) today for our annual Christmas party. I got a nice Christmas throw from my cousin Joe and his girlfriend Jen. It's really cute :)
I seriously adore my cousin's daughter (which isn't really a surprise)! She really likes me too. I don't see her that much, but every time I do, she's never shy around me like she is with everyone else. I think it's because I look very similar to her mother, plus I like to play with her.
In the afternoon, before supper, I was studying in the living room upstairs (everyone else was in the family room downstairs) while Lexie (my cousin's adorable daughter) was sleeping beside me on the couch. She woke up one time, looked over at me
and fell off the couch.
She scared me so much!
I caught her after she let out a small cry and clutched her tightly to my chest. I was so scared. I smoothed the hair on her head, cooing to her softly, and rubbed her back gently, asking her if she was okay.
She replied softly with a "Yeah" as I curled up on the couch with her (my back was facing the edge of the couch) and she immediately fell back asleep in my arms, lol. So cute. I had mom come and take a picture of us, lol. So when I get the film developed, I'm going to post it right away.
Lexie had a cold today too, so I hope I don't catch that before I write my last exam on Thursday, lol.
But I had fun. I really love playing with that little girl. She's so cute. I hope I have a daughter who is as cute as she is. XD

2nd Exam Done... I Think I Failed...
Finished writing my second final exam: Psychology 101.
I think I failed it.
I think I'm going to fail this course.
I honestly have never been so scared of failing a course in my life. I've never failed anything before!
I am so serious when I say I'm not sure if I'm going to pass. I went into the exam with a 53%. That means I have to get a 47% or something on my exam in order for me to get a 50% (three exams make up the course, all have the same value on your overall mark so it's easy to calculate).
Ohhhh, I hope I didn't screw up on the multiple choice!
What do you do when you fail a course? Redo it, or just move on? Personally, if I fail this, I think I'll redo it. Cuz I know why I didn't do so well in the first place, and that was because I spent too much time making good notes from my readings. So if I were to redo the class, I already have my notes cut out for me. Then, all that time I spent making the notes, I can spend a lot more time memorizing all the terms and get a 90% in that class!
*snorts* As if.
*sighs* I really don't know if I passed it or not...
I feel so stupid now...
And the part of it that sucks the most, is that I think I spent more time studying this course than on any of my others (excluding maybe German 203 and all that essay writing fun stuff) and it's the one I'm practically failing.
How ironic...

Psycho-Crap...
Got my psychology midterm back from two weeks ago (thanks to Shandi because I skipped the class because of cramps). Just like I predicted too -- I failed.
43.5%
Ouch, that's going to hurt.
That brings my average for that class down to about 53%. That means I need to get at least an 80% on my final to get the average I want.
It's not like I don't understand the information. I know how to apply it to people, but I think the course is more geared towards the science of psychology rather than the social, I guess you could say, and the social is the one that I'm more geared to.
*sighs* Well, I tried my best. All I can do now is study my butt off for the next one. And I've missed 2 of the 4 classes since that last midterm. I'm going to do poorly on the short answer if I can't borrow some good notes from someone. *feelings of panic begin to brew*
I stayed up until 4:15am this morning doing my English assignments so that I could hand them in today at 10:30am, half an hour after psychology class ends. So I probably fell asleep around 4:30am and then woke myself up at 7:30am to go and have breakfast and get ready for class. I ended up not going because of bad cramps. I went back to bed and set my alarm to wake me up again at 10:15am.
10:15am rolled along and I turned my alarm off... and fell back asleep. lol If it hadn't been for my roommate's alarm to wake me up at 10:45am, I would have slept all morning and then my English assignments would be late.
I literally jumped out of bed when I glanced at my watch. Thankfully, I had all of my papers ready to go, securely in my binder, so that all I had to do was put my shoes and coat on and run out the door to drop off my assignments.
I apologized to my TA (male) for my lateness, and he was cool with it.
So now, I have to get my readings for my religious studies class: Religions of the East. I have to read the last chapter on Shinto ^.^ Been looking forward to this one all term.
Ah, just got Nov. 24's psychology notes that I missed from Nicki...
O_o it looks like a bunch of gobble-di-gook to me
