too much work! this semester i'm finding myself flooded with work. couple that with the fact that i have 8am classes every day of the week, and it's quite the opposite of the laid back, easygoing final semester i was hoping for. i'll be leaving in 3 months and i want to make the most of this time with my friends and everything, but i don't have time to hang out with almost any of them. i've very rarely gotten to hang out with meg or jenn, and i havent even gotten to SEE alia since we got back from japan, aside from a few mins at ko's house at the beginning of the semester.

i'm trying to decide whether or not to drop japanese. it's entirely voluntary, i don't need the class to graduate, and we get at least 2 hours of homework each class day. the rest of my classes give me plenty too but i could deal with them if i drop japanese. but i really don't want to, i really like the people there and it's the last opportunity i'll have for organized japanese instruction. after i graduate all the learning i'll get will be from reading a book or two, which knowing me i'll never do. bah, i dunno. i guess i should just talk to kishimoto-sensei tomorrow about it.
