Lousy Semester Update

So apparently no one knows whether I get that Schein for the introductory Anthro seminar I attended in my very first semester. Great. My number is not on the list of those who failed, so I should have passed; but I have never got the certificate. I asked them to search for it at the Anthro office, and they didn't find it. I hope I can get them to issue me a substitute certificate, because else I have to attend that damn seminar again this semester and write the test again. Bah.
Either way, I probably can forget about the intermediate exam in Anthro for this semester.
(And yes, I know I suck for bothering now and not one and a half years ago.)

Also, the Media Anthropology course has been put from Monday to Thursday, which means I can't go there. Thanks. Fuck you.

On plus side, got an A for the term paper I wrote for the Network Analysis seminar. Yay. There you go. I'm good at term papers. The hard part is getting started.

As for English, bleak. Very bleak. I don't know who is in charge of the room attribution, but he/she/it should learn to think logically. If there are about 200 students in the English department who have to make a B-Schein in linguistics, it might be a good idea to put NONE of the four qualifying seminars into ANY of the smaller classrooms that have room for about 20 people. Because even though it's unlikely that the students will distribute themselves evenly, it's even more unlikely that 50 people fit into a room built for 20. Really. Every. Fucking. Semester.
Next week or the week after we'll supposedly get a bigger room. I'll believe it when I see it.

Japanese? Not much better. Although today's attempt to tell Watabe-sensei about Battle Royale was rather amusing. Because we all lack the vocabulary and thus can explain only the most basic stuff. The result were gems like 中学生のグループはゲームをします, which means "A group of high school students is playing a game" and is... not wrong, but... let's just say it leaves some brutal and bloody details out.
Am half relieved that I at least didn't forget the few Kanji I knew, and have less problems with reading Hiragana and Katakana than I had last year; and half frustrated because there are so much more Kanji I don't know and so much grammatical stuff I totally forgot and all.
Repeat to self: The て-いる form is your friend. Embrace the て-いる form.

Remind me why I actually like to go to university.

Ngah.

However, Jörg is baking waffles! Hurrah!

I know you're all sick and tired of colour bars. So am I. But this one... OME, I'm laughing myself to death.
