Cruises

So here’s an obligatory daily flash about cruises. Since I was on one yesterday. It’s kinda boring though (just like an actual cruise)! Anyway, in unrelated (but actually somewhat related) news, today was the last day of college orientation and we had a 30-minute diagnostic essay-writing thing. Apparently it’s to assess where each of us are as writers, and doesn’t actually affect our grades at all. And once that was over, we got to leave! Actual classes start next Tuesday, but I don’t have classes on Tuesday, so I get to go back on Wednesday (which I guess is Cirno Day)! Now I have five days of no classes! Five! That’s almost… yeah.

Oh wait, I just remembered! It was weird… last night when I was lying in bed trying to sleep, somehow I felt as if the room was rocking back and forth like the boat was earlier. It was weird. Very weird.

Only after I got home and looked at the pictures did I realize that “Circle Line” sounds much like “Circle Nine.” But anyhow, today after an English class, as part of college orientation, the new students all went on a three-hour cruise that went from 6PM to 9PM.

Photo IDs

So today was the first day of college orientation! People had their photos taken today, but I already had a photo ID from the summer course I took, so all I really had to do was get a “Fall” sticker placed on top of the “Summer” sticker that was already there. Anyhow, we got our schedules today, and the good news is that I don’t have classes on Tuesdays and only one class on Thursdays. The bad news is that two out of five days, there’s a class that goes all the way to 8PM! And I thought getting out at 4PM in high school was bad… Oh well, at least there’s a bunch of breaks in between. Though I’m sure I’ll get incredibly bored quickly (or perhaps inundated with work to do). Anyhow, I don’t know yet how this will affect how often I make daily flashes or other stuff, but I guess we’ll see. It’ll probably be a lot harder to keep up though.

And… oh right, photo IDs. Yeah, most people don’t tend to like how their photos turn out. And that’s all.

Free Stuff

It certainly is back-to-school shopping time! I don’t particularly need to do any shopping since I have tons of stuff left over from the last time it was back-to-school shopping time. Anyhow, the nearby Staples store always has a ton of free stuff around this time, like folders, erasers, sharpeners, and pencil cases, and they’re never really that good and don’t last that long, but they’re free!! Free stuff is always nice.

Touhou Merchandise (3)

The sequel of the sequel! Today, a fairly large box (at least compared to the boxes I’m used to) came in the mail from Talka, containing some nifty gifts! Probably the most awesome would be the Miyako (from Hidamari Sketch) plush! Most of the stuff is event catalogues from various Touhou events (full of circle cuts and free space drawings).

There were also a bunch of keychains and file folders (along with a drawing someone made for me at Reitaisai back in March), chocolate with Flandre wrappers, Reimu and Sakuya figures, Grimoire of Marisa and Strange and Bright Nature Deity 1 (Talka actually sent the second one over a few months ago), and… blah, there’s so much stuff and I don’t really feel like explaining all of it.

I also ended up taking way more photos than I thought I was going to. Even took pictures of the bubble wrap and the box after I went through the stuff and removed the wrapping. Picture quality is pretty bad ’cause it’s just a cellphone camera, though. Anyhow, thanks again, Talka!! (If my calculations are correct, Parsee will probably arrive soon with her jealousy)
