Success! (63/90)

This week has started out great so far. Sure, I may have overslept and almost missed my Japanese oral proficiency exam (I was pretty scared about that). But there was too much greatness in the air to say that today was "just good."

I am pretty confident I got a good score on the Japanese oral proficiency exam. I hesitated on a few sentences, but I think my speech was very clear and I used the right particles in the right places. Nothing I said came off as sounding awkward to Ishiyama (I won't do it this time) so I'll just take that as an indicator that I did well.

After the oral exam, I headed into the Atrium as I wanted to finish of the Pita I had gotten yesterday and didn't have enough time to eat before the oral exam. I sat with my Pita near the stairs for about two minutes when a couple of my friends from anime club came to say hi. We had a little conversation which lasted quite longer than I had expected as they said that they were waiting for someone. Feeling obligated to stay and keep them company, I stayed at the table for about 10 more minutes before finally deciding to head off to class. Turns out, I was late, but I didn't care. Intro to Art is so boring that if I had gotten to the class 10 minutes earlier, I may have slept towards the end of the class.

After Intro to Art, I had Social Media which is probably my most exciting class this semester. I don't know why, but I never feel the urge to fall asleep or take a nap in that class. Even if I hadn't slept for the last two days, Intro to Social Media class will keep me awake. After class was over, I headed to Woodworth with Ambria who was getting food to take back to her dorm. We talked a little bit and I told her a few secrets on how to get food cheaper by ordering things individually instead of in a package. All said while I was sipping on a clear cup that contained fruit punch and vault. Also, FYI, I got that drink for "free" if you know what I'm mean. After Ambria was done with her food, we both went our separate ways (She went to Park Hall. I went home).

When I got home, I decided that I was going to work on my website and get more content posted. I managed to create a horrible audio recording of my attempts to explain a few updates that I had done to the website over the last couple of days. After that, I created a video that consisted of a small tour around the Lego sets I had bought this semester. I kid you not, I probably spent around $200-$300 on Lego sets this semester. The video also showed how messy my room has been (to your amusement, I suppose).....

I went back to Woodworth a few hours later. I had to meet with someone who wanted to teach me how I could install a forum onto my website. After about an hour of trial and error with her method, we gave up. I think the problem was that the software was  incompatible with Wordpress. Wordpress just didn't have anything configured in its system to allow that so I ended up searching on google for a plugin that worked as a forum. And &*%(&^, I managed to find a plugin that worked...and that only took about 4 minutes to do.....

Can I say TO BE CONTINUED?
