Snow <3

Yes, when I arrived at school, it was snowing <3 <3 <3 And it even staid on the ground! <3 I haven't seen that for such a long time, it made me really happy.

Though, my days are unlucky ones:
- Monday: 30 minutes too late on school because of delays
- Tuesday: had to walk to school halfway (the back door of the bus didn't want to shut anymore) AND got expelled from exam in conversations
- Today: overslept and missed tennis

I still go to the lessons of conversations though. I still have a slight chance to get permission to do exam. It depends on my tutor and the people who decide you're allowed or not. I really hope they give me another chance. I want to close this chapter this schoolyear and not the second one.

BTW, I've just heard I need all 240 points in order to successfully complete my studies. I can get 60 each year and if you don't have all the points of a year, you have to try and get them the next year, next to the other points you already must get. Lots to do, lots to do!
So in order to have it not extra busy in future years, I want to get all points this year ^_^ That isn't possible anymore if I won't get a second chance for the exam... v_v

Firday is coming really close now. I'll make 'tegoedbonnen' today and take preparations tomorrow ^_^

And now, I go off. Oishi doesn't have much energy anymore v_v

OK, I got it! You win! Now happy?

The second official day of Qbuzz and the second day with trouble. Just what the heck is going on? Yesterday trouble with people who had to get used to the new tunnels to get in Groningen from the highway, today blocking doors. Yes, blocking doors.
When I was at the bus stop by the Trefkoel of Paddepoel in Groningen, the back door of bus 15 didn't want to close anymore. The bus driver tried everything he could but nothing worked. In the end he gave up, sent the message to the company office in Groningen and let us go out of the bus. There were two more buses 15 on the way. Nice, but not if they're already packed with students. I decided to walk the last half hour because I wouldn't make it in time if I would wait for the third bus to come (I saw the second one right when I arrived at school). Luckily I managed to be on time, not that it would be bad if was too late. I mean, I couldn't do anything about it.

Now I'm REALLY wondering what will happen tomorrow. There are lots of things that can go wrong on the way to school. So what will it be tomorrow? Flat tire? This sucks so bad it wants me to go cycling. But if I do that on Tuesday mornings, I have to get up at 3 or 4 or something. That's waaaayyyy to early for me, especially now it's freezing outside and my little bed is warm and comfortable.

I'm kinda in trouble for school. It's no the end of the world but it does suck. Because I missed to many lessons of conversations, I'm expelled from doing exam for it. Now I need to ask my tutor to ask the exam leaders for a second chance. So it depends on them if I have to do this stuff next year again or not. I really hope not. I want to get all the first-year stuff done in the first year! Damn it!

Another damn it! My packages still didn't arrive TT_TT Now I wish I had chosen for a more expensive shipping way which would allow me to track down my packages. I really wanna know where they and how it'll take them to arrive. Not that they'll be in time for Friday...
OMG in three days, I'm already in Leiden. Time goes so fast!

The rest is in Dutch to warn my Dutch friends: Van school heb ik de opdracht gekregen om probleemverhelderend gesprek te oefenen. Dat houdt in dat ik bewuster moet praten en luisteren. Ik moet mezelf aanleren om bij een gesprek open vragen te stellen die of verdiepend zijn of verbredend. Ook moet ik denken aan mijn non-verbale communicatie, ijsbreken, actief luisteren en tot op heden parafraseren. Daar komt later nog samenvatten bij. Mijn zusje had zich al vrijwillig aangemeld voor het oefenen in een rollenspel. Ik bedenk een casus (probleem die client heeft) en het is dan de opdracht van mijn zusje om zich zo goed mogelijk in de rol van de client te verplaatsen. Mijn opdracht is dan om een 'goed gesprek' te houden en erachter proberen te komen wat het werkelijke probleem van de client is.

Voorbeeld: Anouk is 33 jaar en is al 10 jaar getrouwd met haar man. Echter, het gaat niet goed in de relatie. Ze zit er gespannen bij. Als haar man haar vraagt wat er aan de hand is, zegt ze dat alles goed is en dat er niets is om zich druk om te maken. Op het werk zijn de spanningen volledig weg. Ze kan het goed vinden met een collega van haar en ze trekt ook graag met hem op.

Mijn opdracht zal dan bij deze casus zijn wat de spanningen in de relatie veroorzaakt. Dit probleem moet ik dan terugvinden in het gedrag en het gevoel van de client (Anouk dus). Lijkt misschien simpel, maar als je de regels van 'een goed gesprek' ook nog erbij moet houden, wordt het echt heel moeilijk. Vandaar dus dat ik heel veel moet oefenen. Ik zal me zo veel mogelijk inhouden als jullie er bezwaar bij hebben, maar soms is het goed voor mij om verschillende technieken te oefenen (ook in een alledaags gesprek)...

I'm done writing now ^_^

EDIT: I know the date of the flashmob. It's on Monday December 21 between 17.00 and 18.00 on the Grote Markt in Groningen. Really damn it I can't join them!

Hate those long lines with cars
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan
When you go to Groningen over the highway (A28), you end at an intersection with A28 running into Groningen and another highway going towards Friesland. Because there were always long lines with cars waiting, tunnels have been build. The tunnels are open from today on and it seemed people need to get used to them. So lots of people were driving wrong and a long long line appeared on the highway. Now I took the bus going through some villages and not over the highway, but when it was in the centre of Haren, the village before Groningen, we were in a long line too! It caused me to be 5 minutes too late instead of 30 minutes too early on school... Damn it.
Luckily the heaters were on in the bus so it was nice warm.

This afternoon, I took the train back home and I heard there wouldn't go any trains between Meppel and Zwolle: delays for at least 60 minutes! I was like WTF! Luckily I didn't have to go that far, but still, I felt really sorry for the people who had to. Probably something broken or so...

I went shopping this afternoon. Just this morning, my left earphone died so I decided to buy new ones ^_^ I was going to the city centre anyways. I had to check the schedules of my work to see when I have to work and guess what? I AM scheduled for Monday December 21! On the meeting! I have to work from 17.00 til 20.00 though, so I only can't eat with you guys v_v I'm scheduled for Wednesday too.
Going on about work: my boss asked me (through hyves XDD He's my friend on hyves XDD) if I could go working on Friday evenings too. I first thought he was only talking about upcoming Friday, which I can't then. But he meant all the Fridays. I replied to him I can work on Friday evenings at least until week 6 of 2010. From week 6 on, I don't know. It depends on my school schedule which I don't have yet. I'm wondering what he'll decide to do ^_^
I also don't know if I have to work on Sunday. I think I'll go ask him as soon as he's replied to my reply. Otherwise, I think it's best to go back on Saturday evening so I can work when neccessary... I don't know...

I'm really sure the Christmas presents for my other three friends won't arrive in time. The package sent before the presents hasn't even arrived yet...

But going back to my shopping. I used my Iris-cheques to buy me two books of Haruki Murakami. I've bought Kafka on the shore and Norwegian Wood, both in Dutch. I could also choose Dance Dance Dance, but it was out of my budget I had with the cheques v_v And I really want to save up money ^_^ I want to buy some nice, warm, really long socks in Leiden at the London shop ^_^ *hint*

I walked home because I was confused about the bus times of bus 83, which almost drops my right before my house. It seems Qbuzz changed it's times drastically. I need to think of a whole new travel plan when I want to go home with that bus T_T I just had such a nice one, almost no waiting time T_T

I have a damn lot to do for school, so I'll stop writing now. Gambarimasu!

Dissidia Final Fantasy ~ Character experience review
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan
Last Tuesday, I bought Dissidia Final Fantasy. This is a post reviewing character fights. I'm only talking about the basic HP damage attack, the basic break attack and the speed of the characters. Remember that these are my personal opinions. I'd like to know what you think of it ^_^

Cosmos characters

Warrior of Light: His speed is average, which I like. He's fast, but not too fast for not to handle for me. His Shield of Light attack is a bit less though. It needs quite some recovery time and you miss quite fast with it. The combo of his break attack and the finishing HP damage attack is really nice. Battles may end quick with this combo.

Firion: He's one of my favourites. I like his long distance attack (Straight Arrow). Bad side is, the longer the distance the less chance you have to hit. This attack is really effective agains slow enemies. His speed is average. I don't really like his Blizzard (break) attack. I prefer the other break attack more. The combo of a break attack, followed by an HP damage attack works well.

Onion Knight: I don't really like this fellow. His speed is high, it's hard for me to handle him well. I don't like is Comet attack, it's hard to hit the target with it. His break attack is nice, but it's too bad you can't air dash to the target right after it to hit an finishing HP damage attack.

Cecil: His changing form is quite annoying at times. Even though, I can handle him well. His attacks are fast and furious, which I like. His speed is average, good enough for me.

Bartz: Hm... I don't really prefer him. He is fast, but his attacks don't really have that high hit chance. His Wind Sheer is quite annoying. Low hit chance, but when you hit, you hit right. Even though, his Soul Eater is better and it reminds me of Cecil. Only, such attacks needs long recovery time.

Terra: I'm not the magical type, so working with her isn't really good for me. Her break attacks are quite nice and her HP damage attack water spell too. I can't really work well with her Tornado. I prefer Flood more. She's quite fast, I like that.

Cloud: The absolute masterpiece of the heroes if I say so myself. I fight the best with him. His attacks are strong with high hit chance and most of the time, the oppponent flies agains the wall (extra damage :D). He's fast and really well in both ground and air battles. Bad side is his long recovery time with his Cross-Slash attack and with his Bravery attack. Though because he sends of flying his opponent against the wall, you might not suffer of it.

Squall: His break attack is nice, but I don't like his HP damage attacks. He's fast though.

Zidane: He's a nice fellow. His speed is high and his attacks are swift too. Plus they have quite high hit chance. I like his break-HP damage attack combo. It's not that strong, but enough to give quite some damage.

Tidus: He's quite well to fight with. He's fast and his attack have average hit chance. Can't say more about it.

Chaos characters

Garland: When you use the dash technique, he's quite well to handle. Without it, he's slow. His attacks are strong, which I like. His Blaze attack is less, but I love his Earthquake. I can work quite well with him.

The Emperor: I don't prefer him at all. He's slow and his attacks are nothing. No control, low hit chance. For me, quite some difficult character.

Cloud of Darkness: I quite like her. With the dash technique she's fast. Her break attack is nice too. Quick and high hit chance. In combination with an HP damage attack, she's quite strong. An HP damage attack only doesn't really have that high hit chance though.

Golbez: I don't like magic attacks. They aren't as swift as sword attacks. Still, I like the magic attacks of this one. With air dash, you have no problems with his speed. His magic skills are high. The hit chance is quite high too. You can move him while doing Genesis Rock, which allows you to have an high hit chance.

Exdeath: He's slow and his attacks have low hit chance. They aren't that strong either. I don't like him at all. You can only fight a bit with him when using the dash technique all the time.

Kefka: Though he's really funny (XD), he's not really the character I want to fight with. His break attacks are really nice, but his HP damage attack aren't that nice. Once they hit, they hit well, but hit chance isn't that high. His speed is average.

Sephiroth: The best of the Chaos family. He's fast and has strong attacks with high hit chance. Because of his long katana, his reach is long too. His break-HP damage attack combo is really nice. He's very good in both ground and air battles. Bonus: you can choose to let him with only pants and boots :D Must do for fans! <3

Ultimecia: She is not likeable too. Her speed is high of the low side. Her attacks are hard to control and have a low hit chance. They aren't that strong either

Kuja: I really hate his attacks. No control at all and a really low hit chance. His break attack is the only nice, swift one. His HP attacks aren't. His speed is on the high side of low.

Jecht: He needs long recovery time, really long recovery time. That's his weak point. His attacks are strong, but not that fas. His speed is also on the low side. He's not my type of character at all.

That's all. Thank you for reading ^_^

Almost better ^_^
Eiji ~ Yay
[info]mimi91chan

Yes, after almost a week, I started to recover. Friday was a good day too, but then I started feeling sick of a cold that suddenly came up T_T
Ah, well at least I'm feeling like going to school again tomorrow ^_^

I really don't what to rant about. Nothing really happened in the days I was sick. I slept most of the time and when I was awake, I played Dissidia Final Fantasy for the PSP. It's really a cool game, but more difficult then I'm used to. But that's what makes it lotsof fun. I have the feeling I'm really battling like in the movie (Final Fantast VII Advent Children). I can jump, dodge, defend, attack and better: I can do air dash! Yes, I can stay in the air as long as I want, running and attacking and dodging ^_^

Dissidia Final Fantasy Gameplay Movie )

I really get fired up playing Dissidia! <3

But more important: I guess I get Windows 7 next weekend. My brother came by yesterday evening and asked me to make a backup of everything I wanted to keep. Yay, finally saying goodbye to damn Vista!

I think I'll go back to work now. Gambarimasu!

Getting sick?
Kiku Serve
[info]mimi91chan
Good morning everyone!

I think I'm getting sick. Ever since I came home from tennis, I started to get cold. I wore a shawl and a coat with 20 degrees! I still wear it now too. I'm having so cold, I really don't know where it comes from. I don't have any pain or something, only really cold. Is this the first stadium of getting sick? Normally it starts with headache or something, but now I only have really cold. What does this mean?
I really don't know what to do now...
Maybe playing tennis was the cause of it. I mean, on Sunday Wiwi and I cycled through the rain and it was raining quite hard. And just now, I also walked through the rain.
I'm also quite tired, maybe that's the cause?
What could it be?

I'm starting to get an headache and my throat is starting to hurt too... Is that because I think I'm getting sick, or am I really getting sick?

I do want to go home, but that's also because today is a long day. I can't call my parents. I guess I left my cellphone home because I can't find it in my bag or in my coat.
Also, I thought I had class at 8.30, but I haven't seen anyone. Does it start at 9.00 then? I guess so.

Oh yeah, something else. I got salary again yesterday. It's more than I expected ^_^

Tennis, tennis, tennis ^_^ And study too of course ^_^'
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan

Yes, I played tennis again today. I played tennis yesterday too! It's really fun but I'm not that better than I thought I would be. Maybe I'm expecting too much of myself already? Still, I had lots of fun so I don't care ^_^

I'm studying hard too of course. School still goes on.
I'm really mad (once again). I have to follow two workshops out of a list of six. Those workshops would all be held upcoming Thursday. But the workshops I've chosen for can't be held on that Thursday. Instead I have them Thursday next week... on my ONLY FREE DAY LEFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK!
Yes, really bad that happened. And I have other lessons upcoming Thursday too, WTF. I just lost my 2nd free day I would have this block before exams. That's so like damn! >:(

The new Top 2000 site is online now! Only the list isn't known for now. I guess they know it round December 20 or something. Somewhere in two weeks ^_^ You're still able to re-listen the Top 2000 of 2008 ^_^

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I've promised pics of my surprise, right? The theme is Animal Crossing and it was for my mom, who's very addicted to the game ^_^

Project and more :D )Read more... )
BTW, Dad got me. We had revealed it at the end of the party ^_^

That's it ^_^


Happy Birthday Speadee!

Why are Fridays so long and boring?
Kiku Serve
[info]mimi91chan
Haha, ye's I'm writing this during college Ethics. It's really boring, but that's also because I'm really tired. It's the end of one long week again *sighs*

My friday's have been like this the last weeks. I have college starting at 8.30 in the morning and I end with college at 16.30. I have college all the time and sometimes a break of more than a quarter or an half hour. But that's only when I'm lucky, like today *yay* Still, the Fridays are too long *angry*

School has planned everything really nice: all the college for only listening are planned on Friday *sighs*

But enough about school. As Wiwi said to me, I haven't really told anything about me the last few weeks. So here it goes.

I'm doing quite well, except for the fact that I'm really tired right now and that I'm really bored. The buses of today and yesterday towards school were too late *damn*
I'm already really busy with studying for the next exams. I have them in the 3rd week of 2010 *yaaaaay, ahem* It's going quite well now. I'm still getting back to school, don't I?

With tennis, I've practiced the serve. The only correction was a slight one: my elbow has to be in the air higher. I do like the way my teacher tried to learn the swing to us. He used several steps, put together in one sentence: 'You begin like this, cheer that it will be a good one, scratch your back and throw away your racket... but keep it in your hand.' Lol, worked out quite well in the end XD

Uhm... this weekend my Grandpa will be cremated: it's on Saturday. But I'm not going. I'm going to work. I didn't really have contact with my Grandpa. It just felt better for me to go working instead. On Sunday, I'm celebrating Sinterklaas with my family. I have to finish the surprise. Came up with a better idea ^_^' But it's almost done. I'll upload a pic of it when it's done ^_^

Uhm... anything else?

Top 2000
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan
It's been a few days, hasn't it? Last post was about my Grandpa who has died last Monday. Time to update things again ^_^

This time, a talk about an upcoming event on the Dutch Radio 2. The event is called Top 2000.

History
The Top 2000 is a list of 2000 songs which will be aired from December 26 until the last minutes of the countdown to the new year. The Top 2000 started as an one-time-only event to celebrate the coming of 2000, which meant the coming of a new century. However, the event became a big success, so Radio 2 decided to do the event again. This caused the event to be happening every year. It has become some sort of tradition for many people in the Netherlands, including me and my family. Last year, the Top 2000 celebrated it's 10th birthday.

The listener decides
The long list of 2000 songs are made by the listeners. They can vote for their favourite songs on the website of the Top 2000. A few days before Christmas, the voting time is over and some people of the organisation of the event, count the votes and make the Top 2000 List. This list will be on the site a few days before the start of the Top 2000. This way, people know which songs will be coming.
The list contain the number of the song (starting with number 2000), the artist(s), the titel of the song and the airing date and time.

Talk about your song history
Listeners have the possibility to chat with others (sometimes with the DJs too) about their stories behind their songs. They can also send emails to the DJs with their stories behind the songs. Whent he DJs have time, they read some of the messages for the radio.

Tune in everywhere in the world
I don't know how it's possible to tune in somewhere else in the world, but I know it's possible this year and it was last year. Listeners can tune in on the website of the Top 2000 and listen to streaming. This might cause the timing is a bit off, but at least they can listen to good quality radio.

Listed forever
The lists of the Top 2000 are stored on the website. You can always look them up, even the very first list is there. The list of the upcoming Top 2000 will come there too.

Airing dates
An important notice from the Top 2000 organisation. This year, the Top 2000 starts at December 25 at noon instead of December 26 at midnight. The Top 2000 havs 12 more hours of fun and nostalgia. This is decided because songs sometimes had to be shortened to stay on schedule. Listeners and the organisation didn't like it, they wanted to let it happen otherwise. They hope they can air all songs fully now they will have 12 hours more of airing time.
So in short, the Top 2000 of 2009 starts at December 25 at noon on Radio 2.

Website remake
The website of the Top 2000 is still for the Top 2000 of 2008. Though the website has new of this year and a voting page for the upcoming Top 2000. The website will be remade at December 07, upcoming Monday.

Listen to the Top 2000 of 2008
Right now, at least until December 07, you're able to listen to the Top 2000 of 2008. This is a good oppertunity to try out the event or to get nostalgia about last year. For it's unknown to me if you're able to listen to the Top 2000 of 2008 after the remake.

Interested?
If you're interested about the event and still have some questions, feel free to ask me. You can also go to the website of the Top 2000, but because not everyone comes from the Netherlands, asking me is better I guess.

*It turned to be some kind of commercial XDD*

Flashmob ^_^
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan
Today, I got a call at college to sign up for a flashmob. To explain what flashmob is, one of the organisators showed us this video (REALLY REALLY WATCH IT! IT"S REALLY FUN!)

Ofcourse I can't let this chance go ^_^

More info about the flashmob:
The flashmob will be held at the 'Grote Markt' in Groningen. The date is unknown for now, but it occurs when the 'Glazen Huis' is there. 3FM, a radio station which holds the 'Glazen Huis' event, will broadcast the flashmob.
We will dance on this song: Snow Patrol - Just Say Yes
The goal of the flashmob is to collect money to prevent and treat malaria ^_^

If you still don't understand what 'flashmob' is: flashmob is that you do something (alone or with a group) on a public place out of nowhere. It is something you won't do in daily life. You can see that in the video. In the end, when the flashmob is done, you continue with your daily life, like nothing ahs happened at all ^_^

Because the 'Glazen Huis' event is a Christmas event, I expect the flashmob will happen around Christmas. I'll give more information later (when I know more) ^_^

Busy!
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan
I haven't posted all weekend, haven't I? Well, time to catch up then ^_^

Friday was a long boring day, starting at 5 AM. Waking up, washing, having breakfast and checking my stuff for the weekend. I planned to go to Wiwi right after school, so I had to bring my stuff with me. Everything seemed fine so I went at 6.30 to the bus stop.

The first college was really boring. My tutor, who was giving the college was talking too long and too deeply about Sociology and I already was barely awake. I'm surprised I still managed to remember what exactly he was talking about when I had read the first chapter of the book, yesterday.
Second college, I finally woke up a bit. I got something to do. The college was about how to begin the first conversation with your client. Mine went a bit too well; I wanted to go to the problem already. I really didn't realize I went to the next part of the conversation ^_^" Still I had forgotten a few things I actually wanted to say, so I wasn't perfect *phew* Took those things as point to work on for tomorrow ^_^
Third college was fun. It was about ethics. The teacher had some amazing examples ready for us, so I was finally really awake ^_^"

The weekend at Wiwi's place was really fun too! I learned a lot about the trading relationship Japan and the Netherlands has ^_^ The 'proefcollege' was fun too. Though I needed some time to get used to college in English XD" Wiwi, can you give me the powerpoint of that college?

Yesterday, was okay ^_^ We were talking some more about culture and ofcourse I started about Japanese culture. I had this interesting file about the way of packing, giving and receiving presents. Really interesting! :D

Today, I had received my money from the IB-group together with Wiwi's money for the shopping last weekend yes, I've received it and used it ^_^ So I ordered the rest of the Christmas presents, together with the single F.G.K.S. and an Animal Crossing plushie :D I was really lucky! There was only one left of the present I wanted to give Jojo *phew, just in time*

I've also bought the presents for Sinterklaas. I got my Mom so it was an easy job to locate her presents (she had forgotten to put them up >_<") ^_^ I realised I don't have time to go shopping this week anymore except this afternoon. So I've just been to the Xenos and bought some nice candle-light holders (or something).

Present ^_^ )
BTW, today she asked me if I had gotten her for Sinterklaas. I replied I couldn't tell, because Sinterklaas isn't allowed to tell who he gives what ^_^ Worked for now but I have to stay on guard.
Now I need to think of a nice way to pack everything ^_^

Time to get back to school once again. I have to prepare a business meeting for my new project.

Working hard ^_^
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan
Yes yes, even though I don't have much to do yet I'm already busy preparing the next exams. I mean, I have much time to work on the info now and out of the experiences from last block, the end is always very busy. So better do it now and repeat the info lots of times on many different days in order to remember it. I passed all my exams as how it looks like for now. I passed Psychology, Pedagogy, Social Skills and the project was a success too ^_^ I'm going good, though my notes for Psychology and Pedagogy were low. OK, I must admit I could have done way more than I had done for it. I guess that was the major reason for the low notes. Maybe some inexperience too...
Anyway, I got the credits I need and I've already passed two of the four critical exams. Those four exams are about the theory you need to put in practice in later. In order to get to the second year, you must have 40 credits AND you must have passed the exams for Dutch and English and two of the critical exams. I only need to get the 40 credits now. I have all credits I could get for now (already 9 out of 15, still waiting for the results of the other exams) :D

Anyway, tomorrow is a ong day. I have to get up at 5 again and I have colleges from 8.30 until 14.30. I take the train from Groningen to Leiden right after school has ended. I've packed almost everything now. I only haven't packed my bag voor school and my food and drink ^_^"

Ah, it's time to walk the virtual Nintendogs. Mao, Tuti, Aiba! Walking time!

No, that's not right!
Kiku Tree Climbing
[info]mimi91chan
That's what I thought when sensei was showing the forehand >_< He didn't make the 'lus', like I've been taught, but he just swings his racket to the lower side behind him. Here we go again! He was talking about 'camping-tennis' too XD Also, if I had to comment on his swing, I would say it's the amateur swing. But being a sensei, he probably is better than I am. It was just funny to see him doing the forehand like that.
So today, we only practiced forehand. I was considered one of the 'professionals' of my group, together with three or four other girls. We had to practice ourselves in the forehand, but we all were like 'we're going to use the backhand too. That makes it much more fun'. Of course, when sensei came to us, we stopped using the backhand. It seems I was the best of the group. Sensei was correcting everyone on quite some points and he corrected me only on one small point: I had to change my balance point. It must be a bit more forward. On that way, I won't show my acrobatic tennis skills XDD But sensei, I am an ACROBATIC tennis player, so this is good for me >_<

The courts I was playing on are really nice. The give me lots of time to prepare myself for my shot. I have lots of control there! I also want to chat with some girls and see if we can play tennis together, next to the course. But they were gone soon after we were done. Zannen munen, mata raishuu!
Next week, we're going to practice the backhand. I have this felling sensei will talk with me about the spin I create on the side of the ball. But I really like that trick, I can't stop using it XD"
I'm really wondering when we're going to practice the serve. I really want to show him a good jump-serve ^_^ After all, I'm the best of the group so I have to give the right example. Maybe he'll use me to show how to do it? I can't wait until next lesson! One hour really is too short to satisfy me. I was finally playing really well when we had to stop already :(

When I got home, I made an appointment with my barber. They had some time left for me today. I've just been to her. My hair totally wasn't Eiji anymore and now it's back to 'normal' :333 Really good job once again! :DDD Bad thing was, I got served tea with hair >_<"

I've also read in the AD that there will be some kind of event on Friday in Leiden. Something about the rights of students... or so. Anyway, the queen will be there too, so it's probably really crowded there then. I hope it's done when I arrive v_v

Enough brabbling, back to work *sighs*

School tomorrow...
Kiku Tree Climbing

Aack, tomorrow I have to go to school again. Only for one college of an hour about the upcoming period (2nd half of 1st semester). Dang, I don't wanna go to it. But then again, I might miss some important info if I don't. So I'll go anyways ^_^

It's raining really hard right now. I want to play tennis but I have to wait until it has stopped raining T_T But I could have known it was coming. Last night the wind was really strong. It kept me awake whole night >_<

I've printed a lot already. I've printed all the stuff for school's upcoming period, Chibicon ticket, Tsunacon ticket and I've printed the ticket for Saturday. I've also looked at the train trip from Leiden back home. It seems they're busy with repairing the railroads or something. Or cleaning them from leaves (also possible). But it doesn't affect my way back home. Only that I can't take the train to Utrecht. All trains from Leiden to Assen will go to Schiphol.

Aah, I found another nice PSP game to buy. It's called Dissidia Final Fantasy and I can buy two types: the normal edition and the collector's edition. The collector's edition is a bit more expensive (10 euros), but I have artwork, a small guide and the OST too then... So I wanna buy the collector's edition asap before it's out of stock ^_^'
Meanwhile, I'm tracking the prices of the Wii. It's lower again. Now I only have to pay 184 euro's. A half year ago, it was still 250. I think the will we be 150 euros or less by the time I really buy it XD"

*back to school business*

Sinterklaas... Damn old man
Kiku Serve
[info]mimi91chan
OK, so why does Sinterklaas always arrive on a Saturday? It caused me extra trouble at work. There were way more people than on normal Saturdays, so today it was like the centre of Tokyo in the store. Couldn't really do my job >.< Every family with little children had to do the grocery shopping right after the arrival of Sinterklaas. And you know, those children are all hyper (it's like when Santa has arrived in town for those who don't celebrate Sinterklaas) then. So I had to clean up many times v_v

Still, I got a great compliment today at work, so that cheered me up again. My boss said to me I was working really hard and he really liked that. Today, I still was able to left just 1/2 container for the evening crew. There were 5 or 6 in total for today, so I guess I DID work really hard then. Though, for me it felt like I couldn't do anything because it was so busy and full in the store with costumers.

I'll go back to my download and upload central ^^ Really, why does uploading always screw up and downloading never? I just don't get that >.< But I'll not give up! :D

Wiwi, if the weather is good, can we go play tennis tomorrow? Or do you have the birthday party (of who again?) then?

EDIT: My sister is interested in the Chi's Sweet Home game for the DS? Does anyone know if it's any good?

Done with period 1 of 4 ^^
Kiku Tree Climbing

After the test of Psychology this morning, which I only needed 30 minutes of the 120 to make it, this period is finally over. I've learned lots of things of this period. Not only the stuff I needed to learn for the exams, but also how to plan well and what everyone's expecting from me.

I just received mail from school with my results of my exam Pedagogy. 5.5, barely got the credits I need to pass for 2nd yeear ^^' *phew* But I might want to re-take this one. I'm not happy with the results. I want to have it better. BUT, I first need to know which result will count then: the highest or the one from the re-take. Because, if it's the last one that counts, I won't do it. I've got the credits now and I don't want to give them away! So I'll decide when I got an answer from my tutor.

But better than that, I found downloads of Animal Crossing City Folk, which contained lots of music I didn't have. Yes, I have the CD that I've ordered, but on it are 39 selected songs. Plus 3 of them are bonus tracks ^^
CD download? Yes, you can find it here I've made lots of people happy on the FF forums with my upload and the download links I've found ^^

So, what to do now? Yes, searching for my damn camera and finally uploading lots of pics I've promised. I still need to upload the pics of the Fall meeting and the meeting in R'dam >.< And I need to upload pics of the Hortus for willeke4439 (it was the Hortus, ne?) And after it, cleaning my computer and laptop of all the rubbish I've collected and made and refresh the whole thing ^^
