bee_yorkI'm just taking a break from working on my portfolio presentation to write that life continues to be GOOD. Very good. I'm so happy that things are GOOD! I had a ball with Tekt last night. We drank wine to celebrate the end of his bachelordom and did a serious Angry Video Game Nerd marathon--we watched like, FOUR hours of it. Oh, it was awesome. I couldn't stop laughing all night long. The best kind of night, no? :)
He also took me shopping on the Wii channel for my birthday! XD I now have Megaman 9, and the original Zelda I & II on Wii. Yup, the old retrotastic 8-bit versions. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!
This has been the best birthday week EVER.
Today is gloomy and wet and grey and I am happy and comfortable and warm inside, doing mah schoolwork. Yesterday, I briefly met my CT for my next internship, which starts March 8th. It was a rather...odd encounter but at least that's done now. And I got to see the school. He teaches grades 1 through 6 so YAY for that. I was sooooo worried about being stuck with only the older grades, and I didn't want that to happen 'cause I NEED to know what it's like with to teach younger grades 'cause it's TOTALLY different from teaching high school. I need to know before I go out into the real world next year and get stuck with them, ya know? Actually, I met some of his students, who were in grade 1. They're so bloody tiny. I only know how to deal with teenagers. I have no frakking clue what to do with actual children. But he'll show me! ^_^
All right, back to working on my presentation. Graduation is coming so SOON. I don't know what to do! I've decided that I'm going to apply for the Master's program (in Psychology) and the JET program at the same time, but I have a very strong and rather justified hunch that I won't be making it into the Master's program. Which is fine, seeing as I could just re-apply the following year, and/or the following year after that, and/or the following year after that...but I know that once I get my ass into JET and go work in Japan, there's little chance in hell I'll be able to talk myself going back to school to get my Masters, and I don't want that to happen.
Siiigh. Little steps. One year at a time, right?!

Date: 2009-02-27 05:44 pm (UTC)Also, the reviews he's done for the CDI...I totally forgot about that system, and I had NO idea there were Zelda games for it! They looked SO HORRIBLE. I love his reactions to the cut scenes, omg. Priceless.
No, I've never had any issues of JET...maybe you're mixing me up with someone else?
Unless you're thinking about when I came back from Japan, and was supposed to apply then, but chickened out of it...haha maybe that's what you're thinking of! I'm not chickening out again this year though, heh. ;P

Have you seen Nostalgia Critic? He is also tres awesome, he reviews movies and shows from the 80s and 90s. He comments on all the messed up things we watched :D
And yes, I was commenting on you chickening out. But yes, I hope it works out!! :D

I also love the one where he plays Battletoads and the guitarist who lives behind his couch comes out to play. I thought that was HILARIOUS that they covered his story. ;) (Not to mention the guitarist is kinda hot, imho! Hahaha)
I never heard of the Nostalgia Critic. I guess I'll have to look him up on Youtube. :D
