Home room is in three minutes.
Oh god, why oh why did I suddenly get struck with the urge to blog with homeroom in just three minutes? Such is the schedule of my day. I think I've been on the computer way to much this week so I don't think I'll be back today, however large the desire is to research the courses I will take in year 11 and 12 and which university to go to. I always seem to be doing these kinds of things to myself, six minutes to go, that force me into my uncomfortable zone and make me think and feel awkward and strange and goodness knows what. For example, five minutes left, I have chosen to come to Japan on exchange and spend a year away from my loving family, friends, personal computer and cable tv. On top of that I've elected to join one of the most craziest training clubs ever (poor badminton sensei, i skip it too much in order to research my upcoming subject choices/bebo/myspace alot). Four minutes left. On top of that, I cannot speak very good japanese at all, so usually I have been known to confuse certain words together (like that time I said unko instead of anko, rather hilarious results ensued.) I guess this is just the way I live my life, three minutes left, the way I prefer to exist, always out of my comfort zone. Or maybe I'm just crazy. Oh, don't be silly, Kenjie, you've been crazy for a very long, long time. See? The amount of commas in that previous sentence proves how crazy you really are. Two minutes left. And the fact that you've managed to write this much in eight minutes has probably got something to do with it. Strangely, you've become rather eloquent and skilled at conversing in third person to yourself whilst all the while speaking in Japanese every day. One minute left. I guess you should log off now. The clock has finally turned 1620, time for final homeroom.
