I think my title says it all.
Went to get my ID validated (so I can do useful things like check out library books and use computer labs
Was told I can't because I still have a balance even though I have financial aid coming
Went to Summer program payment office - was told I can't get ID validated until financial aid comes in...that's somewhere near the end of the 1st summer session.
As someone who needs financial aid, I feel discriminated against by this system. Clearly if you have are wealthy enough that you can pay for a college education out of pocket you get treated better by this university than if you are poor like me. Way to go UH, upholding American values.

I finally got my paws on this movie. It's a Korean movie starring Rain which came out last year and I remember when I first heard the title I thought it was just hilarious. I thought it was gonna be some cheesy "Not Quite Human" type story (ZOMG who remembers the "Not Quite Human" movies :O?) But I was quite surprised when I watched it! It's a very unique and creative movie....very bizarre indeed, but I really liked it. It's about 2 people in a mental asylum, a girl who thinks she's a cyborg and an antisocial man who steals everything. I think everyone was really impressed by Rain's performance in this, it was his debut as a film actor and I knew he had won some awards for it, and I can really see why. He really is a good actor :O I mean watching the movie you aren't thinking "That's Rain!" I think after he gets older and can't be an idol singer anymore he can totally be a respectable fulltime actor.
Well I read the film was a box office flop but had a lot of critical acclaim. Yeah it's not for everyone, like I said it's quite bizarre, but I don't know I just really liked it. I guess I like movies about crazy people ^^;;
But Lydia I bet you would like it as well.

So, my friend just phoned me. Rain is having a concert in Aloha Stadium this July! I found out just in time too cause tickets go on sale on tuesdayXD
I can't believe I have a chance to see his concert! *spins around* My friend's coming over tuesday morning and we're gonna buy tickets! A tad spendy ($115 for the middle range, we decided to splurge a little..the next one up was over 200 though so I can't really pull that off)

Ok so....I'm totally dropping one of the classes I'd signed up for for summer but didn't actually need. Because I just can't take this anymore. I need a rest.
Nobody ever take Japanese 407C from Cook at UHM.
Basically....first she was saying our midterm would cover
Reading 5.1, 5.2 and as far as we got in 6.1 then we got an e-mail saying we'd only cover the 1st page of reading 6.1. In class today, the last day of class by the way, we were to go over the 6.1 reading. Usually us students go through it and we talk about the "hard sentences" but today? No. She went through it herself, and went over class time to cram as much in as possible so that even more could be on our test ( so basically we "did" almost the full 2 pages), and THEN she just sent out an e-mail saying..oh by the way, reading 4.2 is gonna be on there too. I'm tired of your LIES teacher! (said in a dramatic and heart wrenching voice) Of course this school gives us only 2 days off school plus the weekend to study for our exams/write our final papers, and I just am really overwhelmed with my finals and papers this time round and when I got that e-mail I just felt so pissed off. That woman has no concept of what's an appropriate workload.It takes ages to study for one of her test with half the material ...it would be ok except you know...I have OTHER finals and paper and I'm still working. So yeah, I'm lightening my summer load because I hate feeling overwhelmed like this and I'm just tired of it.
edit/
Oh, and lets not forget the part where she forgot to give us back our last test to study by

So yeah. I got stung by a bee again. At 11 at night. Outside. On the neck.
It was a vampire bee.
No it didn't get my throat or anything so no need to worry, just low on the side of my neck. It really hurts and it's all red and gross ;_;
I took some antihistimines and my roomate gave me anti itch cream. but it doesn't itch yet, it just really hurts ;_;

So I know last night I swore I wouldn't go into that bathrom again....but in light of day you know..I thought I'd just take a peek and see if it was still there......Well, it was not there anymore. So this was 1. Good, because I supposed that it left and crawled back into some hole outside or something, and 2, bad because yeah, it was alive.
But I looked carefully around and didn;t see it so I was like well, I'll glance in the shower real carefully and see if it's clear....since really I don't like walking around in my towel all over the place....but! Just as I was about to call it clear, *holds hand over pounding heart* I looked over at the door and I saw it drop down from where it had been behind the door and start running TOWARDS ME. Now I have no doubts this a young cane spider, also known as a Huntsmen spider. I have never seen one before in real life, but seeing as it was a little bigger than a large tarantula and hade very long spidery legs and moved really fast I know that's what it was. Of course adult cane spiders can get 5 or even 7 inches so I've heard so I know it wasn't an adult but still bigger than any arachnid has the right to be. In anycase I was saying "Holy God!" and prancing on my feet, praying to every deity known to man that it wasn't going to run right up to me and jump on me or something. Thank God it didn't and ran up the wall behind the side of the shower curtain. I ran out the other side as fast I could and back into my room and I'm shaking all over.
(I wrote a note warning the other girls in the dorm and got up teh courage to post it outside bathroom door, cause really, it would seriously suck to pull back the shower curtain and have a cane spider jump on you D:)

2am and I have decided that I will officially be switching bathrooms. The other ones may be a tad further away and have inferior shower curtains, but at least they don't have GIANT SPIDERS ABOVE THE DOOR!!!!!
*puts duct tape around around her door*
And while it did seem rather shriveled and motionless, since it was still about the size of my hand, I don't care if it might have died there last year ( I don't believe I've ever really looked up in that corner before), I'm not going back in there. Ever.

I am currently translating a 6 column article in a Japanese National Geographic so that I can then write a two page paper in Japanese and give a 15 minute presentation also in Japanese, about it. During this process earlier today, I noticed this thing in the back of my kanji dictionary called a Skip index. The skip index lets you look up kanji's based on their apperance, rather than their radical.............Now as this article is jammed full of kanji and for plenty of them it takes AGES of guess work to figure out their radical, well let's just say my feelings can be expressed by the following.
*HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Bitch! I don't NEED your radical anymore! With our powers combined, you will be defeated!*
(passes out for awhile and then goes back to translating. 7 hours and counting....twitch)

So something wonderous has come to my attention thanks to Mangoo-chan
\:D/
I got a message from her saying there was a new store called Green Time in Manoa Marketplace that among other things, sold K-pop cds. Now Manoa Marketplace is in easy walking distance from where I live, and as a matter of fact I walk there almost every weekend for one reason or another (Starbucks and Safeway :X) So on Sunday I walked to Safeway and decided to see if I could find this place. It wasn't hard. There was a huge banner for the place as it had just opened, and I realized that it was not just some place that happened to sell cds, it's self-proclaimed k-pop cafe!
Well as it is closed on Sunday, I haven't yet been in it, but this Thursday after class, I will be checking this miraculous place out.

Yes there you have them. Officially the weirdest kanji ever.
Yes they are both real kanji. Together they read "outotsu" and mean uneven. The first one by itself means "concave, the second one means "prominance/projection"
This kind of....throws my whole kanji world into chaos o.o

Eddie - Do you Wanna Fall in Love |

So.....I walked to Starbucks this morning, it's maybe a 15 minute walk, over some bumpy back road kinda places and the field of an elementary school. After I had consumed my beverage, I was walking back, passing by Safeway under their awning thing cause it had started to rain a bit...well i had an umbrella but it was windy too. Anyway I was walking when I felt a sort of stining sensation on the bottome of my foot. First I thought a sharp rock had gottne in my flip-flop, but then it hurt more, so I though maybe a thorn? Ten it hurt a LOT and there was kind of a fuzzy feeling and movement. I looked down and sure enough, there was some dumb ass bee that had gotten BETWEEN MY FOOT AND SANDAL and stung the bottom of my foot! I hobbled to the nearest open bench and sat down. Now I have actually never been stung by a bee before within my recollection, and it really really hurt ;.; I sat there grimacing awhile, unsure what to do at all and being utterly ignored by everyone.I mean I was outside Safeway but I didn;t know what to buy that would be good, and really didn;t want to be hobbling all over the store. I knew the pain would fade in not too long, but I highly doubted I would be able to walk home very well in this condition. I called Mark but he wasn't there (later he did call me but Sensei had found me by that point.)
So I was just sitting there feeling screwed when my Japanese teacher from two years ago happened to pass by and see me! She ran over to Long's Drug Store which is just across the parking lot, and got me some allergy medicine whihc I guess is good for bee stings? (maybe if you are allergic to them thank god I am not) and some water and a steam roll. Thne she offered to drive me home. Saved :o; Now I have never run into her there before, so I was REALLY REALLY lucky
Anyway. My foot is much better (if I don't walk on it) I pulle dout the stinger...which seemed also to have the very end of the bee still attached, stupid bee!
Anyway, that was MY morning. Now I have a ton of homework to do so I'd better go do it......
