I want my polearms class. Badly. There is nothing I miss more than the heft of metal. I need physical training again since I'm getting utterly depressed again and the only thing to get past this is work. (And friends. I need to socialize.)
Also, I need to start up a little community for the kendo club and those interested. Uzuki~senpai~, I may need your help later. (I'm sorry the trip didn't go well.) I may think better once I've gotten used to my classes so I can see who is interested, who would like to be captain, tryouts, etc. Busy, busy, busy.
And after all this work I'm going to need a day out, I think. Does anyone want to plan something after our first few days are up?Current Mood:  busy |

There are things that are more important than moping over your former boyfriend. There are things far, far more important.
( Private to Bevelle Riot Group )
( Private. )
I have had an illness for the past few days (I believe it's all the travelling and the fact there is no constant humidity), so I have not been very active. My books have been shipped to me (I ordered them when I signed up for my classes), so I have been looking over them. I believe I will work on finding a part-time job, or at least do some volunteer work. I am very fortunate to have the backing of my country on financial matters... I am very, very lucky.
I'm not sure what to say with anything lately.Current Mood:  thoughtful |

( Friends Only (Gippal-Group Only) )
I need to be ready for classes, and yet I am a fat lot of "not motivated". This is not like the usual me, but I assume when I dive right into it I'll be fine. Just fine. |
|
Or I am glad that I wasn't here, because I would've stuck my nose in other peoples' business, which is a trait I picked up in secondary school. (More people to meet, though, it seems.)
I hope that everyone had a very merry holiday. I didn't have a chance to say anything about my departure to Burmecia because it was quite sudden to me -- one minute I'm out shopping and the next minute my brothers had forcefully picked me up and, cackling gleefully, stole me away to the Winter Festival we have at home. (In retrospect, both my brothers remind me of people I've met at school -- perhaps a reason why I'm beginning to feel less and less nervous. A good thing. [Somewhat.])
( fratley nattering. )
I brought back little trinkets to give out all year - I'll wrap them and make a secondary "Christmas" of it. Hope late presents don't bother anyone. (Rikku, I have a trumpet for blowing in Gippal's ear -- you know he's going to have a hangover. ;>) |

( sometimes I hate to realise this, but I am a woman after all. )
In completely non-whingy news, I am settling in quite nicely. I do want to go out soon and perhaps shop a little, send home trinkets to my parents and my brothers. I also need to get my mother to send me my dancing costumes -- for some reason I completely neglected to pack them! Tsk.Current Mood: nostalgic |

I had a lovely time. I'm never one for gatherings, but this one proved entertaining, to say the least. I did get to meet up with a few lovely people (who are obviously now a very lovely couple), and a nice fellow named Nanaki (and as he said, we do share quite a bit in common aside from tails). A fight broke out, and while they are sure to be in quite a bit of trouble, it was indeed a very inspiring fight. Very passionate. Didn't seem quite too serious, though: nothing more than two rams butting their heads over a ewe. I did meet the leader of the Japan Appreciation Club, who seemed quite nice ... very glad he is willing to help me, a freshman, out with the club.
The one thing I did like very much is that once I entered, I felt that I did not stand out. In fact, due to my "wallflower" tendancies, I actually blended in, I'd like to think... so a very good boost for my esteem there. I'm sure I can handle this now.
I'm settled in and getting adjusted to the climate change. My fur is not, however, and it is curling funny around my cheeks. I hate when it does that. I'm not the prissiest of my people, but I do not looking... curled. Hair should curl. Not cheeks.
The start of term doesn't seem too far away and I'm very excited and simply worried. I am "freshmeat" after all. I haven't been this scared since my first recital.
And the best part is, I've only thought of 'him' once -- as I was writing this, and realising I hadn't thought of him since the airship ride over. I'm very proud of myself.
... and it appears Mr Tribal has one of these journals. Hoho.Current Mood:  happy |

It's not raining.
Where I come from, it is always raining. Of course, I've been out of the country countless times, but not for so long ... and now, I realise I won't be hearing it until random chance graces the weather.
I am getting ready for the "meet and greet", and am not sure if I am looking forward to the reaction I'll get or not. I will do my hardest to "blend in". I never expect a violent reaction toward my appearance or my race ... simply one of disgust and disdain. (I'd rather have to fight, to be honest.)
But, I will be my normal, polite self. If I want to be a foreign dignitary one day for my country, this is where it will begin.Current Mood:  determined Current Music: not rain. |

Got my schedule today. I think it's all right, so far.
* Contemporary International Issues
* Social Ethics
* Language Theory
* History 101/Military Science: Leadership and Teamwork
* Weaponry (Polearms)
* PE: Professional Dancing
That, along with the kendo club [still crossing my claws on that one], should keep me in great shape.
( talking about myself again. )
In other news, the Young Master paid me a visit and harassed me about sending him postcards. The little scamp is going to be a frightful King one day.Current Mood:  okay Current Music: classical music my mother is playing |
|
( Boring personal things. )
Anyway... my ramblings aren't very important, so I will ask my new "friends list" a question...
Is anyone on this list interested in a kendo club? I have trained in kendo and in lancing, but I think kendo would be more appealing to more people.
edit: in the cut above.
edit again: ugh.Current Mood:  hopeful |

I hate to sound childish, but I'm worried about fitting in. I think it's mostly my ears and tail I'm concerned about. I doubt many people I'll meet will have a tail...
I have my room assignment -- and I have male suitemates. This will be interesting. I've gotten on well with men before, but, as usual, I'm worried about the woman I'll be staying with. I have no idea what to expect from her. I hope she doesn't stay out late drinking. (I may've just jinxed myself, but I'll deal with it.)
I looked into it, and I haven't found out yet if they have a kendo club. I may have to start one myself ... so this will be a bit scary on my part...
I guess I'm very nervous about leaving home. I'm so comfortable here, and I know there won't be eternal rain where I'm moving to. As much as I'd like to continue training to be a dragoon, there are other things that my parents wanted for me... so I'll try this out for a year or two.
If I don't like it, I'm coming home and I'm going to be part of the royal guard. They're just going to have to understand that.
