It is really admirable that you work so hard, but you need a little freetime for yourself, else you will burn out. I can promise you that. Been there done that. Take a break, even if it's just an hour or two a day.

If it wasn't for my job it would be a lot easier. Right now I'm on vacation but I got late earlier on my school's studies while working so the last 3 weeks I have basically been studying 3 times harder than usual to make up for it.

Anyway, if I pass all my courses I'm gonna resign as soon as possible (without violating my work contract). If I fail something I'm in a world of pain, though.

That job didn't deserve you anyway.

Also, good morning...

That cat looks a lot like squidgy

Going out for drinks is less fun when you know you can't afford to get drunk and you have work at 9am

Did get back to my house to see a hedgehog in the garden though which was cool

Just played the walking dead season 2 episode 3. Hell yeah, oh I love this game, the choices were just...YEAH. I'm stoked. Really The Walking Dead is one of the best games out there.

I'm not really connecting emotionally on the same level as season 1, but it kicks ass anyway. Also I was kind of disappointed that most of the characters from 400 Days only had like 5 second cameos.

Last Wednesday was a holiday for all students except those, like me, who had to do the "epreuve uniform" which is a standardized French exam everyone needs to pass at the end of college to earn a degree.

What do you have do for that?

I'm not sure if your question is "why do you have to do that?" or "what do you have to do?" so I'm gonna answer both.

You have 4h30 to write a 900 words analysis of whatever text they give us while doing at most 29 grammar or orthography mistakes. Our analysis is graded out of 100% for its content and from that grade, each mistake removes 1%. It's not exactly an easy exam although mine went alright and I'm reasonably confident.

The reason we need to do that is because the French language gives many Quebecois a hard on but it turn them off when we make grammar mistakes so pour career is hostage to make sure we learn how to write a proper dissertation without making too many mistakes.

I'm so bored and tired, I'm getting creepy!

I owe Tatsu a pic so I want to know more about him, I stalked his posts. I found out that he joined the box torrents fansubs early on, has much freetime on his hand, loved to play FFVII - spend over 5 hours beating ruby, played MGS4 and loved it, likes FFVI and Shin Megami Tensai 3 Nocturne as it has one of the best storys in his oppinion (which I will confirm or not when I wake up again; tired-gonna watch a story walkthrough). I found out that we have very similar tastes in games. I'm really scared of myself, I'm a monster.

French is my first language and the first language of about 85% of people who live in the province, so it's a bad thing that it's in French, even though the grammar is more complicated than in English.

Well, it's 2am. I should sleep now.

So I tried whale meat yesterday, which was an interesting experience. It turns out it's actually kind of disgusting, although I only tried it raw, as sushi. Maybe if you cooked it properly it would be nicer, but I'm not sure I really want to try and find out.

Anyway, if it had turned out to be delicious, then I would have a little bit of sympathy for Japanese whalers. But since it really isn't, there is no longer any good reason to allow whaling as far as I'm concerned. The UN should just hurry up and ban it entirely.

What the heck are you talking about? Don't you know that whales and dolphins bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WW2?
