Oh Latin, I have such mixed feelings for you.
Daedalus intereā Creten longumque perōsus exilium tactusque locī nātālis amōre clausus erat pelagō. “terrās licet” inquit “et undās obstruat: et cælum certē patet; ībimus illac: omnia possideat, nōn possidet āera Mīnos.” dīxit et ignōtās animum dīmittit in artēs natūramque novat. nam pōnit in ordine pennās ā minimā cœptās, longam breviōre sequentī, ut clīvō crēvisse...

In South Africa a girl actually has a higher chance of being raped than of learning to read.

So.
I’ve decided to apply to this intensive summer program for elementary Japanese at the Institute of International Studies near me. It’s a graduate level course, but it’s cheaper than all of the courses designed for high schoolers I’ve looked at, and I feel like I’d probably learn a lot more anyway.
The most exciting part? The prospect of actually knowing the language...

While I'm here: お誕生日おめでとう, 翔くん！
Here is where I would make the gifspam of all gifspam, but my internet is angry and I don’t have the time (+ definitely won’t this afternoon/night - we have an away game and all of my classes have a growing workload T.T) so this’ll suffice for now:
Oh yeah.
Wishing you ~stamina~ (as well as the requisite rainbows and crack that comes with Arashi) for the year ahead!...

Below the cut are colleges I want to visit (OH MY GOD SO MANY), sorted by geographical region:
California: South: UCLA, Pomona, Occidental, UCSD North: UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCSC (I’d be sort of bummed to only move one county over for college, but I hear they have an excellent linguistics program)

Ok internet, Y U NO WORK?!?!
All of my downloads have stalled after like 5 minutes. Wtf.
I don’t have the time/patience to try to restart them, and potentially have to restart multiple times after more failures.
Ah, the hazards of being a rabid fangirl with a worthless ISP.

I just realized I've slept during 12 of the past...
Granted, I was exhausted from yesterday’s soccer game + Winter Ball, had swollen eyelids for some reason, and had to cancel two volunteering commitments but…. yeah.
So I've gained a lot of non-arashi-fan followers...
(“a lot” as in like, 3… but still it’s progress for me ;D)
Watch as I lose all of them in the next day while I fangirl.
I didn’t order the DVD (poor girl is poor T.T), so I have no qualms about downloading the stuff right now hehe. Here’s to hoping the .rar doesn’t fail on me!

college.
So being a second-semester Junior in high school, the actual-for-real college search and application process has finally begun for me. I had my first meeting with my school’s college counselor yesterday and oh-my-god was I internally freaking out. It really wasn’t that bad though, seeing as she really only gave me advice that I’ve pretty much been expecting - take the SAT in...

Finally found a fancam w/ the full Q&A w/ Matsuken...
Thoughts:
That host is really ridiculously awkward.
Lol, Matsuken’s long answers.
Lol, his interpreter’s face.
NINO IS SO TINY.
Those interpreters are pretty badass. This is what I want to do when I’m older.
I hear the dubbing was just horrendous, so I’m glad Nino said something about it :)
I wonder how long it’s going to be until someone posts a raw file for...
If I didn't have a ridic. amount of homework,...
I can’t believe Nino is 6 hours away right now. Oh my freaking god.
Usually I’d be mad at the fact that I’m not right now stalking him IRL (lol) but the thought of his ~proximity~ makes me excited anyway.
Fancams are <3.

Lots of stuff nobody cares about under the cut. I like to ramble about random things from my life, okay?
Yesterday our team lost like 6-0 to the newest team in our league. What.
Our coach was ridiculously mad. Whoops.
Too bad I don’t feel bad about it. I feel like I tried my hardest (actually, physically I feel it right now as well. Goddamn my legs and feet are still so sore), so...

Why my Latin teacher is the most awesome:
Teacher: In college I had to take this Latin conversation course where we had to translate sentences from English to Latin. I hated that: It's pointless, why would you ever need to do that?
Alex: Well, if you had a time machine...
Teacher: Oh yeah, just whip out my TARDIS.
Class: [collective gasp]
Henry: YOU WATCH DR. WHO?
Teacher: Oh yeah, I used to tape all of them. Had boxes full of cassettes to watch.
Henry: On those long winter nights in Vermont...
Teacher: [nods head]
----
This all comes from a teacher who puts up w/ our constant Potter references (although he's a fan as well) and wears sweater vests and bowties.
I love my school.

NO SOCCER PRACTICE TODAY
Which is awesome because my entire body aches from the past few days’ practice.
Also: I only have ~1 hour worth of homework.
Also: Only one test tomorrow [in-class essay test on A Raisin in the Sun]
Also: I’ll probably have the time to make myself some baked mac + cheese AND watch Shukudaikun or Himitsu or… something awesome :)
FUCK YEAH.
