My timing: impeccable
Sick.
Man. Just the other week I was marvelling at how I'd only been sick once my whole time here.
It isn't too bad... yet. I'm taking the rest of the class day off to make sure it doesn't get worse (especially since all day tomorrow are individual presentations, and we're supposed to watch everyone else's besides just doing our own).
Of *course* I would get sick the crazy week of tests. 'Slike when I had mono during my freshman year. What a way to memorialize the first final exams of your college career.
P.S. One group member didn't show up for skits this morning (which is why I went to class at all). Someone said she wouldn't miss unless she were hospitalized or something so I hope she's okay, but still... 困ったね。This means our skit is moved to Wednesday. le sigh. The only positive about this is that by Wednesday Sensei-tachi might forget how good everyone else's skits were today... since ours blows in comparison.
P.P.S. Got an email from Ueda-sensei at Princeton in response to a request for recommendations. She of course knows Professor Bourdaghs (of postpoop). She said that he told her I'm taking his class and that I'm "thriving in Japan!!" [quoted as quoted in her email, exclamation points and everything] Yay!! I really enjoyed Professor Bourdaghs' class. Other kids complained about the amount and difficult of reading (which was nothing compared to Ueda-sensei's classes), but, even with that, I knew from their comments outside of class (which a few of them made to me) that they really enjoyed and got a lot out of the class too. I think he did an excellent job of pushing ICU students to think and explore, and of teaching the material in a clear, understandable way for people who had never encountered it before.
P.P.S. I'm probably the last to know about this, but look what I found!
