Return to School

Alot has changed since the last post, of course it has because it’s been a long time since I last posted. Being that I have a lot of original text on this site and this is actually for a change one of my sites that I put good content on, I’ve decided to de-blacklist it from searches and list it online, not only that but take it off blogger and put it on my own website, so I can have complete control of it.

Well where to begin. I’m back at OSU, and classes are much much easier now that I don’t have Japanese or Chinese classes anymore. I’m taking Chem 101, Med Terms 500, and Physiology this quarter. Chem has turned out to be really easy, Physiology too, and the hardest is Physiology.

Coming back from Japan I think I’ve learned alot about how people here are still in a little magical bubble world about Japan and speaking Japanese. The way my friends talk are so textbook, and I find myself saying “That’s not what you say in that situation”, or “That won’t be enough to say” and stuff like that. Actually it’s alot about the “よく出来ました”, “zannen”, and “ne” usage. I mean, those kinda sayings are really fucking cheesy. Really really fucking cheezy. Nobody says those kinda things in Japan and you look like a fuckin idiot, not only that, but my friends say that shit all the time too, which is even more not good. The big thing about this is this is just like catch-phrases. My friends just like saying catch-phrases, they don’t understand and they will that catch-phrases just aren’t enough in the language you’re studying and you have to be able to know how to say something of importance and get something done and SPEAK IT ALL THE TIME. That’s the biggest problem, that last one. They will see when they go to Japan, they will be disallusioned as I was, and realize Japan is just another real place like Tsukuba and one at least that is not better than Columbus.

Sean and Nate were accepted and really excited to go to Tsukuba. From talking with Sean, I can see that he thinks Tsukuba is an enormous campus, a huge campus, with tons of High Streets and stuff and activity like that. Being that I think Tsukuba is regarded as the biggest campus in Japan, and the fantasy that Japan is the awesomest and coolest place in the world with huge cities, I can see why he would think this. I think he will realize once he gets there that in fact it’s not such a big place, and he will finally understand why why I came back and I said the nasty things about Japan the way I did. That’s the thing around here, if you say you don’t like Japan then that’s like a really really bad thing and people don’t like you and something is wrong with you, but I’m sure that’s only because all the people I hang out with are Japanese majors anyways. Nate applied for ICU but was beaten for it by Ariel, which I think wasn’t fair since Nate took more Japanese than Ariel and is probably a little better in vocabulary and grammar. I also think Nate would have had a funner time going to ICU but he is happy just to be able to be going to Japan, same as Sean. Nate was thinking at first like him and Sean were gonna be real good buddies in Japan and hang out with each other alot especially like drinking in the bar and stuff but I think Nate might be beginning to realize like I already knew from the beginning that Sean isn’t gonna be wanting to do that stuff. Nate asked me a question “Sean, doesn’t really like to drink, does he?” all sad like and realizing. yeah.

I received my first check from Google for $110, and hopefully it won’t be the last. It took a year to get but I made 60 of the 110 just last month when I actually started to make new sites. I’m in the process of converting my parked domains for sites that have content on them and adsense, since I’m making more money this way, and I guess better page rank.

I in a way don’t like trying to get high page ranks and stuff because in a couple years anything that has a high page rank now will probably be buried 30 feet deep in new sites and articles that will be on the internet and so the only thing that will get good page ranks are constantly updated websites which is just something I’m not gonna do because of the time and work so that kinda makes me sad.

Julie and I are going out! She is really great girlfriend and I think because we were friends it makes it a whole lot nicer and easier.

The Japanese exchange students. I was all about and excited to meet them and eager to get them to be a part of my daily life here and make really good friends with them like I did with the ones last year but that’s just not happening. I think the main reason is because I came too late in the year, and they already made all their lame and loser friends that they have now. Julie and I have tried lots and lots of times for them to come hang out with us, I always wave at them when I pass by them, one time waiving and getting no response from them. In fact I discussed with Julie and she agreed too that we were trying to hard and that it makes us look really creepy and weird for us to constantly try to get them to hang out with us, and so I’m giving up. If it happens it happens, but just because I don’t make friends with the Japanese kids doesn’t mean I won’t have fun. I think the main reason I want to hang out with them is because that’s what I did all last year and that’s what I’m comfortable with and that’s how I knew to have fun and did have fun, and so I’m looking to do that again this year but it’s a no go. There is this one girl that hangs out with them that is just such a loser and geeky and lame, she just looks like shes no fun but shes the kinda geek that thinks she is fun. She hangs around them all the time and tries to grab onto them and suck the life force out of them as if she was a parasite or something living off their energy or life force. I know that they would have a much funner time hanging out with me and my friends but they just don’t know that or think that so what are you going to do?

The caveman commercial when he is at the airport and stops to look at the so easy a caveman can do it poster. It reminds me of going to Japan and the time right before of going to Japan.

I would write more but I think I’m gonna make some rice or past or something like that with tuna for lunch and I have to finish last week’s lab and go to lab in a couple hours so cya.
