nyeeheehee

So we were supposed to brag in class today. And it occurred to me that I could have said, Even though I'm a Sophomore, I'm still only eighteen. Instead I wound up talking about the number of cranes I've made so far this semester, which is, perhaps, less impressive.

In other news, the jacket I got the other day was designed for someone with no hips. I'm going to have to do some major revamping in order to fix that, and will probably wind up doing that in some kind of contrast, since matching the fabric (a very nice black, almost impossible to find) will be really too hard. So I'll probably wind up doing some fancywork around the cuffs and collar and the pockets, which are currently fake, but which I'm going to make real.

Hm. I'm thinking a nice, rich black brocade, and then I could add lace trim/ruffs to the collar, sleeves, and bottom of the coat when done, and come out looking vaguely gothloli, in a masculine style.

*boing boing* continues

Despite initial impressions of a sucky range of choices (and that impression remains) it seems I'll be doing okay with scheduling next semester. That is, that's what my initial schedule thinks. If things stay the way they are right now, I won't be doing anything with Japanese History (HIST100T I miss youuuuuuuuuuuuu...) so that's a sort of a break from the major, which I don't really mind. It looks like I don't get much of a choice but to do MODERN Japanese History, which is a fact I despise (again I long for HIST100T) but I guess, since Perry-san is technically modern, I'll get by alright. Would have liked to do the development of Japanese Buddhism and Shinto in relation to each other, and to their historical contexts, or along those lines, but it doesn't seem like that will be happening. *sniff* Oh well. I'll still do two and a half classes on Japan (woot) and another two and three quarters on what I want to do. No GE requirements, since I'm still trying my best to avoid labs, and maybe I'll manage to squeeze in an independant study on PreModern Japanese history with the guy who used to teach HIST100T but dropped it despite that time period being (supposedly) his area of focus. Damn you! Or maybe with the other guy who tends towards literature, and that could be pre-medieval Japan. Or even just pre-modern. Say, hey! I want a bunch of readings of Japanese mythology and religion, as long as it's before the 1850s, please? As an independant study, please? Maybe he could teach me the "right" way to interpret poetry while he's at it.

Anyway, the class I really REALLY want is a CMC course on the History of European Aristocracy. This would SO be my major if I could somehow turn it into ten classes that I've already taken most of. Or at least, ettiquette would. It's so fascinating, in great part because most everybody just ignores it. But there's just this one class, and although it doesn't have any (apparent) requirements, there's only 12 slots. I'm hoping there won't be many seniors interested, and that I'm near the start of the class. Or at least, that not many people before me want it, cause I do. That said, I hope enough people are interested that it doesn't get cancelled, like other classes.

And if it isn't available, then that just means a Japanese History class, whee.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

(no subject)

Suddenly I need Chacha music. For practice.

Any ideas?

so there

It's been grade school since I last did ballet, high school since I last put my hair in one of those buns. My hair is really too short now, though I'm growing it out again, but I still have some of the pins, and it seems I still have the skill.

So it looks like I'm going to be wearing a bun for the dance competition. Go me.
