i had to give a presentation for my european history class some time back, and i opened it with a brief overview of the state of the world around the 1800's. I talked a bit about britain's imperialism in india and the westernization of japan, and i kind of went off about the opium wars and how britain raped china. and at the end of the presentation, when it was time for questions from other students, one kid goes, "so, i noticed you talked a lot about asia, but you did not mention korea. are you not interested in korean history?" and i was like, "ohhhhhh snap..." i felt like a giant douche. so i told him he should teach me about korean history.

i'm done with most of my classes now. i have one more final (and a project for the same class due the same day) next wednesday. it's my c++ class. i've gotten perfect scores on every program i've written, except the last one. he took off ten points because i neglected to comment on my code. and he did it as an afterthought. the original (perfect) score was scribbled out and replaced with "COMMENTS -10." i don't care a whole lot, but everyone else is like, "what a dick." i'm surprised the code even works, as i had a fever and was throwing up all over the place when i wrote it. jk (our program coordinator) was like, "you should go have a talk with him!" because she's cute like that. i don't really want to talk to him, but i feel like i'd disappoint jk if i don't.

so, it's the end of the semester, and that means the other exchange students are leaving. one of my best friends left yesterday (though she may still be able to come back next semester). but she left me her laptop. which was a kickass thing to do. i don't really know what to do with it, as it's a mac and all my experience is in pc's, but i guess i'll just have to learn.

i went out about a week ago and hung out with some korean guys my friend plays soccer with. one of the guys was like, "i've met you before!" and it turns out we have a mutual friend. then another guy goes, "i've met you before, too. in my dreams." and i was like, "haha?" because really, how do you reply to that?

ps. most of you have already tracked me down on myspace (horrible place that it is), but if you haven't yet and were kind of thinking about it, i'll give you a link to my profile. ready?

me.

and there you go.
