Yup, today's my birthday! I am now twenty one years old! I can now legally drink alcohol, although that didn't really stop me anyway. Unfortunately, here's the sucky part: In light of my coming of age, I have two final exams to take today, along with studying for two more that are on Thursday and Friday respectively. Therefore, I have no time to go out and party in celebration. No, no. I have to sit it out in solitude, studying my ass off in some library, memorizing segments from ancient Greek and Roman comedies, obscure Irish texts, and various other dramatic plays.

To top it all of I also have to prepare for my Japanese language final examination. I've been studying Japanese for three years now, and I must say it is kicking my ass. Just the last week I had to conduct an interview with a total stranger in Japanese over the phone. Then, using only Japanese as a means of communication, I had to set up a meeting with the guy over at my University's Student Union, sit down with him for at least two hours if I remember correctly, talking with him in Japanese while asking questions about his hometown, hobbies, interests, etc. After the whole insanely intimidating process was over, I then surprisingly had to report the interview to my class in Japanese. Let's just say I didn't do as well as I should, but I still managed to get a passing grade I think. This crazy assignment of last week was of course made worse considering that I also had three term papers due that week that I had to work on each night.

These past two weeks have been hell. The good news is that this semester is almost over, and I can finally take a break from classes. On the 13th I am going to have surgery on my eyes to correct my vision. I hope that goes well, because I like my eyes. After New Years, I will be going off on a cruise with my family to Central America. It's going to be fun I suppose. I just hope my passport comes in the mail in time. Well, enough worrying from my. Things always eventually turn out fine in the end of for me, no matter how crazy things get, I somehow manage to pull through. It feels kind of nice to be twenty one.

Lastly, because of all this insane busyness, I have not had the time to work on any flash. Hopefully when things calm down I can finally get back to work on that STWPT collab.
