episode 3!! GO WATCH!! oh jin... you slut!!

 After two weeks spent staring at my phone, it finally rang... and the news was good!!

I've been accepted into Tokyo Uni!

Though I don't really understand the process now.  I've been nominated, and now I have to go through another process to enroll for exchange to Todai.  They can still knock me back, and I won't know for certain if I'm in until about July.  A mere two months before classes start...  But I'm kinda hoping that if I'm nominated, then I'm basically in.  It took Tokyo two long weeks to decide if I could be nominated, so how much thinking would they need to do? >_<

But I kinda hope that I won't have to spend the whole time in Japan studying my ass off, and won't be able to actually see any of Japan itself.

 I have news!

I finally handed in my full application.  It took my senile lecturer about 3 months to do it, but he did it about one month before the deadline.
and he wrote me the nicest reference!

but this is not the big news!!

I got a call from Study Abroad yesterday, AND IT'S BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE HOPED!!

I didn't get into Waseda - they only have one opening for Monash, but dear Kate Parsons from Study Abroad went on about how my marks were 'very impressive', and that they don't think that my second preference, Meiji Gakuen, is 'suitible' for my high grades. 

@_@

goddamn I feel like such a nerd, but DAMN I studied hard for this!!

so.. she wants to send me to Tokyo University...
...the number 1 uni in all of Asia...
...number 19 in the world...

the ground fell from under my feet when she told me!

The reason I didn't put it on my list of preferences is because they only accept third year students (and only select 25 students globally on top of that) And I'm going into my second year.  But Kate seems to think that because I will technically be spending half of my third year in Japan, that she might be able to convince them to let me in...

If I don't get in (which I don't think I will) then I'm definitely down for Chiba Uni!!
and if i go to Chiba, then I'm in the running to get a Japanese government scholarship, which basically pays for my whole trip ^^

in conclusion
I'M GOING TO JAPAN!!

I have a friend of a friend who is helping us Aussie fans organise a Miyavi concert in Australia mid-year.
But without the demand, Meevsta won't supply the goods! xD

If anyone's interested in brining the awesome Jrocker to Australia, please sign the petition 

www.petition.fm/petitions/miyavitoaustralia/

and will be posting updates up there.

I really hope we can get this!  but we need all the support we can get!
Please spread the word!!

I forgot to update about my conversations with Ozaki over msn which I mentioned a couple of entries ago~

It wasn't half as bad as I was expecting. I managed to talk to him reasonably easily in Japanese, making me feel like a real pro x3
He's so sweet, and tries to translate his comments into English if I take too long to respond. I've spoken to him twice now, and hopefully we can meet up if I get chosen for exchange. Even if he is shorter than me (which he gets really uncomfortable about!)

...and on the topic of exchange, I emailed study abroad to make sure they received all my forms. And my Professor Ross Mouer STILL hasn't handed in my reference. He tried to send it to them via the university mailing snail-mail system, but as it's Christmas break at the moment, they haven't received it yet. However, Study Abroad have sent him ANOTHER email, asking him to either hand it in in person, or to email it.
And I'll email them again on Wednesday to make sure he's done that.

If I don't get on exchange because of my decrepit teacher...
I really don't know what else I can do. I might have to go into uni and hunt him down and force his hand to sign the damn form then hand it in myself. Though, I tried to do that two weeks ago, and he wasn't on campus.

yo

For the middle of December, it sure is wet. I'm kinda sick of moping around at home - bring on the warmer weather!!

I finally got around to changing my layout. puuurty Meeevy!! Though it looks good from my server, I think it goes a little outta whack from other internet servers. *shrugs* Not like many people read these blogs anyway x3

goddamn, I love this shit so much

I need to get myself a hobby or something.


so... my best friend is meeting up with my (ex)crush tomorrow for lunch. I say 'ex-crush' because it's been about a year since I last saw him, and despite me liking him, and him supposedly liking me, things between us never got anywhere.

And I've always hated it that bestfriend has a better friendship with him than I do. And I hate it more that I could have had a friendship with him like that if I hadn't had been so awkward around him. (does that sentence even make sense??)

I wish I could just get him off my mind. Almost a year since I last saw him!!
I occasionally meet nice guys - guys with potential... but they always seem so second-rate when compared to him.

eugh

The strange people you meet on the net...

At the moment I'm speaking to a few guys on the WWAM site. One is a 28 year old 'model' from Kuala Lumpur. He has family who (supposedly) live in Blackburn, not too far from where I live. He has really cute english, but has been coming on REALLY hard recently. "so, you do you love blowjob?"
=_='
...where's the 'delete from friends' button?

I'm also writing to this 21 year old who now lives in Hong Kong, but has alot of family in Melbourne. I really liked him - he is interested in books, and used really proper english, you could almost hear a british accent coming though in his comments.
Then I found out he went to Scotch College here in Melbourne - the most elitist private boy's school in Victoria. That'd explain the posh way of writing. And now I can't help but think of him as a stuck-up rich boy xD He goes on about how it was 'good of me' to go to Borneo and help out rural communities there. I wrote him this big comment saying how that was the most humiliating and un-productive part of the trip, because the tribal people did not need our help, and I hated feeling like us white folk were there to 'colonize' them or something. I did keep the comment polite though, so he might not be a dead-end just yet.

And now I'm writing to a Japanese guy...in Japanese. I've only been learning properly for a year, and it takes me a while to formulate a message of a couple of lines. Then he comments back using all this kanji, and I've got to go denshi jisho it up. He's insisting we speak on msn, no matter how often i tell him ’私の日本語が悪いですよ’.
No, I'm not being modest. There is no way I could keep up a conversation!! and he only knows a little english...

I never go on msn anymore because of all the weirdos who added me. And msn is a biatch on my mac. I really can't be bothered putting in the effort with it >_<

Maddy and I wrote these really sadistic fanfictions. It's the first fanfic I've written. They're JExSaw, so are smutty, 'slasher' fics. I might get around to putting them up here. No promises though
