It feels like it was ages since I sat down and did a journal update, and now I happen to be on campus with about two hours to spare before my Japanese class begins.

I feel like I'm way behind on a lot of stuff. Throwing myself directly into University-level studies as soon as I had graduated may not have been the smartest idea... well... I'm doing well in two of three classes, the oral and text-based classes. Kanji though. Dear god...

For those who don't know, Kanji is a writing-system that japan "borrowed" from the chinese language. There's thousands of characters, each meaning one thing and they can all be combined in different ways to change their meaning. We are supposed to learn around 15 kanji each week, and that includes ALL their combinations with other Kanji. This prooved to be too tough for me and I'm really not enjoying the class.

I have lots of ideas for both pictures and videos that are just piling up because school is taking all my energy. Most oftenly I find myself too tired to set up a bunch of figures and snap pictures. And when I do I never get the saturation satisfactory. I tried to take some photos of my Phone Braver 01 candy-kit equipped with the Demolition boost-phone. 01 turned out great when I reviewed the images, but Demolition lost the amazing green hue and became a deep turqoise instead. Which made me give up, didn't want to spend time fiddling with my lighting and camera-settings. So I just resorted to wasting time at the Xbox360 instead.

This lack of energy is really a shame. I've been meaning to do giftart for whose birthday was a good while ago. But it's hard to come up with something involving figures I'm afraid... well... one day I'm sure I'll get a jolt of inspiration. Maybe in time for next year XD

Unless they've updated Fronter (the university intra-web) with some new homework tonight I'm probably gonna take some time with the camera again. I just got notified that my [link] order FINALLY arrived. I've cut back on Transformers since I'm getting a bit bored and frustrated with rotf toys (I want my toys to stand up on my display shelf without acting like dominoes and not needing five minutes of fiddling per figure to balance just right... I'M LOOKING AT YOU SIDESWIPE/SKIDS/MUDFLAP/CHROMIA/ROLLBAR) so I've looked into other lines to collect, except stuff like Keitai Sousakan and Yuusha. I was fiddling with a tan Elite from the Halo 3 line that sent me a good while ago (Havn't gotten around to photographing that either...) and it struck me, I should get into the Halo 3 line XD
