    <content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m270fyUbop1qif8koo1_500.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it's been a while since I've written a journal entry on here. I tried to make it more frequent, but nope. Haha, well here's a post reflecting my thoughts at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ah. &lt;strong&gt;School&lt;/strong&gt;. I thought this semester was going to be great and less stressful, but I find myself feeling depressed a lot. Two of my friends whom I've thought would have been awesome to have as a fellow classmates turned out to make me feel horrible.&amp;nbsp;Sometimes&amp;nbsp;I feel like they're a better person than me at times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;One of them always talks to the girl next to them. It just makes me feel like I'm a third wheel especially when they talk Spanish to each other. Like hi, I know you enjoy talking to her but what about me? I feel like she doesn't notice me until after class ends. Gah.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Well I found out the other friend is an overachiever. She tells me all the time how she wants As. A-'s are not As. She makes me feel so bad for having the grades i have. Just ugh.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I know comparing myself to others is not really healthy nor does it help, but I can't help doing it. It just plagues my mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tests&lt;/strong&gt;. Well thanks to crashing at midnight on Thursday totally screwed me over in terms of studying. I was going to study on Friday, but I ended up crashing again. The same story goes for Saturday except I kept taking naps after naps. Body was practically telling me, &amp;quot;SLEEEEEEP GDI!&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;Sigh.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically I'm screwed since the tests are BOTH on tuesday. I mean seriously. I was so close to being lucky and not having the same situation as the first midterm. Though lo and behold, I have Statistics and Human Life Span on the same day. AGAIN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I... need to focus on Statistics though so I guess I'll glance over Human Life Span. Sob. Once again I still hate statistics. I just can't understand it. I mean try as I might... deciphering the problems I was never good at word problems back in regular math. Sob.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m263aj6B8P1qdmxsio1_r1_500.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roleplaying&lt;/strong&gt;. I'm trying hard not to drop everything I really am. Though it's understandable with school and all. DARN YOU SCHOOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;em&gt;Arcanarium &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;- ...I really need to canon review Mayuri so bad. Perhaps in the summer I'll read the Steins;Gate VN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); "&gt;Asgard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - Well I need to tag Shannon around more, but she's happy that more people from Rokkenjima are appearing here. Though she'll still feel depressed in not being strong enough to help people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;Demeleier&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;- ...well crap. I need to stop forgetting about this place. Sob. I'll most likely get either booted or a warning... I really like playing here as well, but... sob... need more cast.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); "&gt;DramaDramaDuck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - I love playing Rika here so much. She really opening up to people especially about her situation. Rika will be in Tatarigoroshi-hen now. She'll be in real tears now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); "&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mayfield&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 204, 255); "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;- Hayate... GO OUT AND MEET PEOPLE ALREADY. :P Though yeah he's still surprised over Nina not remembering him, but he's trying to make her feel less scared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); "&gt;Route&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - Oh Rena, Rena. She needs to defeat the gym leader already... she's still sad about Yuuri and Keiichi leaving, but she's coping. She's trying to catch up to Rika.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=epika&amp;ditemid=791" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">So as I sit here watching &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/1562/Yamato_Nadeshiko_Shichi_Henge"&gt;&amp;quot;The Wallflower&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; on Hulu, break has finally ended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sigh.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it was bound to end eventually. No use dragging it longer. In just a few hours my first class for the spring semester will start and I'm still awake just because I feel the sudden need to start this blog off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's see. So far, I've had the delight to see my friends again. There's still a few more I need to see again, but I've seen the majority! Hopefully I can find friends in my other classes besides Alina ( and Larry. Alvanny may be in my Health Statistics class, but I won't know until Thursday for the time being. Hmm... come to think of it, if Alvanny is in my Stats class the only class I won't know anyone is EdCo. Though I'm sure that the class will help me since it explores other subjects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier today, I attended a Health Science meeting with Alina that was from 12:30pm to 5pm. Ah. It was so long and so tiring. 12:30pm - 3pm we sat in that huge room and the rest we went to three rooms in another building each for 40 minutes (&lt;em&gt;Internships&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Advising&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Getting Involved&lt;/em&gt; workshops). They sucked up my energy, but still I learned a lot from the major. It's pretty interesting. I just need to see how the classes are like, hehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh, this'll be the first semester in a while that I won't be able to meet up with Hisaam. I miss him so~ Niichan come backkkkkkk~ Though I can wait~ I will majorly glomp/tackle/cling onto him when he comes back from China. &lt;em&gt;kukuku~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;In any case, back to Winter Break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've accomplished my visual novel &amp;amp; anime goals for this break! So happy~ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Umineko Chiru EP8: Twilight of the Golden Witch&lt;/em&gt; (also &lt;em&gt;Umineko Hane&lt;/em&gt;, but I'll count it as part of &lt;em&gt;Umineko&lt;/em&gt;), &lt;em&gt;Higurashi Kai EP8: Matsuribayashi-hen&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Tsukihime&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Katawa Shoujo&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Hatoful Boyfriend&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Chaos;Head&lt;/em&gt;. If you've seen my plurks/tumblr posts or talked to me at messenger at the time, I would have told you I was reading one of these. So intense; I gather that I spent over 100 hours all together, but that's just my guess. I think if I hadn't finished any of these, I would have started and FINISH the &lt;em&gt;Clannad&lt;/em&gt; visual novel. Though, I will save that for another day... perhaps Spring Break?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next visual novels I need (other than &lt;em&gt;Clannad&lt;/em&gt;) to read are &lt;em&gt;Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;G-senjou no Maou&lt;/em&gt;. I may go read &lt;em&gt;Kana ~Imouto~ &lt;/em&gt;as well, but the others above are in priority. However when the translation for &lt;em&gt;Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni&lt;/em&gt; is released, I'll drop everything and read that. Kyaaa Ryukishi07~ Hmm... though &lt;em&gt;Never7&lt;/em&gt; is may be coming out soon as well so I'll drop everything after &lt;em&gt;Higanbana&lt;/em&gt;? Haha, we'll see when the times comes. Ahh~ There's also &lt;em&gt;Forest&lt;/em&gt;... thinking of reading that too... and &lt;em&gt;Steins;Gate&lt;/em&gt;... Sob. So many visual novels, so little time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as for my anime goal, I have completed about 800 anime on &lt;a href="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Katsuki"&gt;Myanimelist&lt;/a&gt;. After my visual novel spree, I got onto the anime bandwagon and marathoned series~ The 800th was Ga-Rei Zero. The ending made me so sad, uguu~ Kaguraaaaa~, Yomiiiii~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically I was nearly a hikikomori for the break. I still went outside at times, but... still hehe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=epika&amp;ditemid=602" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
