ltgmars"Let's see how long I can keep up posting daily." Posted two days ago. Ahahaha.
How am I supposed to post daily anyway? My daily goings-on are nothing special. It works for you all because you have such interesting lives compared to me.
Today my Chinese drill professor (I have two -- the male drill professor and the female main class professor), who also speaks French and a little bit of Japanese, commented on the similarity of the Japanese word for "shoes" (kutsu) and the Chinese word for "pants" (kùzi). As many of you know, when you enter a house in Japan you have to take off your shoes. My professor talked about how once his Chinese friend was asked to take off his shoes before entering a Japanese house and started to reach for his belt buckle to take off his pants. Just a minor misunderstanding.
Also, I'm a proud owner of a permanent LJ account now. :D Trying to fill up my icon slots... At this point, I've filled it to the amount of slots I had back when I still only had a paid account. (I don't use too many icons. Then again, I don't post too often.) I really enjoy making my own icons (I like having icons that no one else has/can have), but they're not very shiny. I'll take another crack at it soon.

(When you're easily amused, there's always SOMETHING to post about.)
