Public Speaking

So we had something like this today, except without such harsh criticism! I am not very good at public speaking because often I forget what I’m supposed to say, or I know what to say but don’t know how to put it into words. And that is all. The workshop went from 6:15PM all the way to 8:20ish though.

Moving Colors

Here’s some random thing I made awhile ago. It’s not really supposed to be anything but a bunch of colors moving about in a fixed pattern.

In regards to college, today was a pretty easy day; only had one class. But then when I decided to start doing my homework, I realized it was kinda difficult to do textbook practice problems without actually having the textbook. Earlier I resorted to using my camera to take pictures of the questions from my friends’ textbooks, and that works okay. However, I forgot about the fact that I probably wouldn’t know how to do some of the questions, so I didn’t take any pictures of the actual chapters themselves. I guess I’ll just be lost until the ordered textbooks arrive in the mail. The good thing is that homework isn’t checked or collected or anything like that, but not understanding things now will just make it harder to understand things later on! Textbooks… bleh.

Oh yeah, and the folks over at the Spanish blog Touhou no Sekai have put together a bunch of Walfas screensavers, so if you want to check those out, go ahead. The download links are on the page, around where it says “Rapidshare” and “Megaupload.”

First Day of Classes


Well, Cirno Day is coming to an end soon (and in most places it’s already over), so here’s a sad Cirno. But don’t worry, there is another one coming up in 100 years! Or 90 years, if you would like to count 9/9/99.

In any case, today was the first actual day of college classes for me. It was a long day going from 9AM to 8PM, but there were two 2-hour breaks in that time period, so it didn’t feel quite as long as it was (Plus, one of the one-hour classes was canceled for some unknown reason). But anyhow, I didn’t really have any time to really make anything today, which, by the way, is why the Cirno Day post was actually on the 8th, because I expected to not have any time today! So many textbooks to get… they have been ordered, but won’t arrive until about a week from now, so I guess I will have to rely on the school library or take pictures of the problems in other peoples’ textbooks until then. And… yeah. Bleh.

Meaningless Conversations

Because not every conversation has to be an interesting one. These sorts of conversations aren’t really completely meaningless, I guess, but I wanted to name it “uninteresting conversations” but the filename “uninteresting.swf” was already taken (hah, remember when daily flashes were actually based on my actual life?). For all the interesting conversations people have, they have a ton of conversations like these in between, and I guess that applies to the daily flash characters too! Despite the fact that this is probably one of the most uninteresting daily flashes ever, I kinda like it in that way. Hmm. Oh well.

Busking

Busking, according to dictionary.com, means “to play music or perform entertainment in a public place, usually while soliciting money,” and is not intentionally related to being the king of a bus. Before today, I didn’t even know there was a word for it, and I sorta just called it “performing in a public place for money”, so I have learned something new today! Anyhow, yeah, it’s always awkward when someone comes into a subway car to perform or just beg for money and nobody wants to give money to them. You can’t make eye contact with them or reach into your pocket to get something, because that’d just give them false hope. And that’s bad.
