I'll be starting my second year of uni in... um... end of February? Beginning of March?... I don't know, but anyway...
I'm doing Interpreting & Translation (between English and Japanese).
This year, I can choose one unit as an elective. In other words, anything. And that's the problem. I don't know what to do. I narrowed my choice down to 2 units:
1. English, Text & Writing (Level 1): "This unit covers a number of issues within literary and textual studies and creative writing, focusing on the areas of modernism and postmodernism. It considers the historical and cultural contexts of literary and textual production, examines a variety of literary genres and styles, and covers a range of contemporary critical theoretical approaches."
2. Psychology: Human Behaviour (Level 1): "Psychology is a field of scientific inquiry that uses a set of scientific techniques and methods to explain and understand the causes of behaviour. As a profession, psychology applies its knowledge to practical problems in human behaviour. This unit covers a range of topics in psychology at an introductory level including: the history of psychology, intelligence, social psychology, developmental psychology, personality and abnormal psychology."
I've been asking lecturers for some addvice, but so far I've found no one that could help me make a decision. (Most lecturers are on holiday and wouldn't even reply to my e-mails) I think that the first unit would be useful for my course. But the second one would be useful for life in general... I'll be able to choose another unit as an elective next year, so I guess I could do English, Text & Writing this year, since it's Level 1 (kind of embarrassing to do it in my third year). Then do Psychology: Human Behaviour next year (maybe it'll be less embarrassing since it's not in my field)...
This is one of the bad side to my personality: indecisivness.
SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!

He broke up with me yesterday. It hurts like hell. I still love him with all my heart. And that's not going to change. Well, that's how I feel right now anyway.
So yesterday, I was really really depressed and crying. Kept thinking about what went wrong. How I could've done things differently. What I felt at this point is perfectly described in the song "MILLOIN MILES AWAY" by WANDS. No particular section. Just the whole song.
This morning, before work, I was still depressed and crying.
During work, I was depressed too.
Then on the way home, I got angry at myself. Angry because I'm hurting him by being sad. So I cryed one last time. And I'm pretty sure that I haven't cryed since. Here's exactly like the song "solitude ~shinjitsu no sayonara~" by Kinki Kids.
When I got off the train, and was walking home, I started remembering everything he said to me after he broke up with me.
"I want you be happy. Don't think I'm the source of happiness. If I stayed with you, you would just feel pain, not happiness... Dry your tears with love, new love. Can ease pain... I feel bad that I'm taking away the opportunity for you to love someone who loves you back... You should always believe in yourself. Like Yu-Gi-Oh!, trust in the heart of the cards, and there's nothing you can't do."
I decided that I'm going to stick around in this world for a while longer. I love him and I trust him with my life, so I'm going to believe in what he's saying. I want to know if he's right or not. I want to know if it's really possible for me to love someone else. And I want to know if that preson would love me back. At this point, my feelings are described in the song "a Day in our Life" by Arashi. This is kind of ironic, because we used to sing/rap it all the time... Kind of a "our song"...?
I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for everything that he's done for me. How he made me feel safe. How he made me feel special. How he gave me confidence. For making me want to live. And most of all, for loving me.
Thank you everyone, for your kind words and wisdom.
I still love him, and I'm still heart-broken, but I actually think that I'm going to be all right.
Hontouni arigatou.

Despite popular belief, I am not 15 years old. I'm 20. Whenever I tell someone my age for the first time, or I see someone I haven't seen in years, they think I'm 15 years old. I'll say it again. I'M TWENTY YEARS OLD! I may be short and look young, but that doesn't mean I'm 15. I actually had some people say "no, you're 15" and tried to change my mind about being 20... I can't change my age you know...
Today was Seijin-shiki in Japan. That's Coming-of-age-celebrations. Anyone who turned 20 this year, by today, celebrates coming of age. I, of course being in Australia, have no way of going to the celebrations. Not that I wanted to. It's all about dressing up in a fancy kimono and listening to a bunch of old people talk about being an adult. I hate wearing fancy clothes. Honestly, that's the only reason I declined my grandmother's invitation to fly to Japan. Oh, and I have to go to Chiba-prefecture for the celebratons, because my address in Japan is there. I don't know anyone there. All my friends are in the Yokohama-prefecture. Imean, why do I have to wear unconfortable clothing, sit among people I don't know and listen to the same crap I heard in high school? My mum wanted me to wear her kimono, so that she could take pictures, but I of course, allowed no such thing. Yeah, yeah. I may be cold and bitter. But that's how I feel right now...
Oh, and I realised that the pics from yesterday's post were nice and small. Um... How did that happen?

For the past few days, I've been making a puppet with my mum. It's made from paper mache. It's a sample for a work shop we're doing next week. Mum and I are going to teach a bunch of kids how to make paper mache masks. Here's a pic:
The pj is from a doll I had, some 10 years ago. I used to make my cat wear it when she was a kitten. ^^' Yeah, this puppet looks weird, but it's not a bad first attempt, right? Right?
A few days ago, my lamp spat out my light bulb when I lit it. Well, it only sapt out the glass bit. It was freaky! My land lady has the glass bit now, but I have the metal bit:
That's my bed side lamp's stand in the back ground. It's not the one that spat out the light bulb. It was my ceiling lamp. Come to think of it, it was kind of like a shooting star...
Um, I know that the pics are really really huge. I've been trying to fix it, but nothing's working. T_T My post titled \(^o^)/ has a pic of the Harbour Bridge, and it's nice and small. And I did the same thing this time. So why are the pics so big this time? T_T
I think I sound cheerful on today's post. I'm not. I still hate 2007. And things aren't any better with my bf. I wrote him an e-mail saying everything I want to say. Since I'm really shy at expressing my emotion, I believe/hope that it was the right thing to do. There's only 1 thing I'm not shy about (since not being shy is my New Year's Resolution) is my feelings for him. He knows of this blog, so he may be reading this... If you are, and feel shy, or think that this is inappropriate, and you want me to delete this post, I will. But anyway, I'm saying this and I don't care that the whole world can see it:
I LOVE YOU

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Wow! It's 2007 already!? So exciting!
Yet... I haven't seen my boy friend since Christmas! T_T
The fire works were ok. The park my parents and I went to only had 2 toilets: 1 for women, and 1 for men... About 50 women were lined up to go to the toilet, and 5 men were lined up for their toilet. So the women started to line up for the men's too. ^^' Other than that, it was good. Oh, and there were fire works at 9pm too, for families with small children that cannot stay until midnight. And a piece of the fire works flew into the garden of a house, and there was a fire! But they put it out quikly. Phew. That incident was the highlight of the day.
Oh, before I forget, Ed from FMA is said to be 165cm tall, but that includes his platfom shoes and his antenna (his hair). So how tall would he be? 150~155cm? By the way, I'm 153cm... T_T Sorry, I don't know the measurements in feet. ^^'
Sorry, I haven't done anything since the New Year's Eve celebrations, so I don't have anything to write about... So here's a photo of the Harbour Bridge and the Luna Park of Sydney. That's a ? on the Harbour Bridge. It later became a coat hanger... I don't know what it means, but it's a part of the theme this year... Don't ask me about the theme, because I don't know what it was. ^^'

Today, I was supposed to have a shift from 3pm~9pm. But my arrogant supervisor called me at 10pm last night, saying that there's been a change. Apparently, who ever has a shift before me cancelled, so he wants me to work from 9:30am~5:30pm... 8 hours!?... T_T But I said that it was ok...
So this morning, I go to work and sign in. The girl there asks me if I want to leave my bag there, or take it with me... So I tell her about the bloody security guard. Then she says that I can take my phone with me. And if the security guard gets angry, I can come back and put it into my bag. So I said ok. Then I messaged my other supervisor, like I'm supposed to at the beginning of every shift. I get a message right after, asking me to call my arrogant supervisor.
The arrogant supervisor tells me that there's been another change in shifts, so I might only be working untill 3:30, so he'll call back when a decision's been made. I told him that I may not answer my phone because of the security guard. He said that he never knew anything about the whole phone thing... And told me to be patient about it. I told him to call the toy department directly if I don't answer my phone.
So I go to the toy department, and who do I see? The girl who cancelled her shift! We both got a huge shock! @.@
It turns out that she cancelled her shift for Saturday, but the supervisor thought she meant Friday. So I tried calling the supervisor (the arrogant one), but he didn't answer. So I called the other supervisor, and told him the problem we were having. He said that he'll contact the arrogant supervisor, and tell him to call back.
So we wait, and I get a call...
In the end, the girl's working today untill 3pm. And I will be working from 3pm~8pm... *sigh* Back to where we started... With 1 less hour... So now I'm home again, killing some time... *sigh* If this job didn't end on the 24th, I would so quit right here and right now!
