I recently came back from the gym this evening. It feels so good to have actually kept up with my routine, even though I've skipped a few days here and there. I go every other day and I've finally found a routine that fits the way I work. I'm a very lazy person if you don't know me well, and to get myself up and at 'em takes some work most of the time. You see, even to sign on to Blogger and start typing this new blog post took some mental effort.
I've been downloading J-Rock and J-Pop like crazy lately. My new favorite Japanese band is called "abingdon boys school". The lead singer is the solo artist "T.M. Revolution", and he's pretty popular in Japan. I suppose he decided to form an alternative rock group and write some really good music. I've also been listening to UVERworld. They do a lot of main themes for anime shows, and they're pretty creative when writing their music. I think they're a bit more mainstream though.
So, all in all, I have a Spanish oral final exam on Thursday (at 8:00 in the morning T.T) Oh well, it'll be nice to get it out of the way. Be the first ones in there and wreck some shit. I'm pretty sure we'll do fine. Andres, my partner, is pretty intelligent and knows his stuff. I myself am pretty decent as well so I'm confident. Outside of that, I have a paper due for my poetry class on Friday, followed by a paper for my Asian Literature and Film class due on Saturday. I have both of those papers close to completion, so I believe I won't be rushed as long as I don't save the finalizing until the very last minute.
I can't wait to get back home. I think my friends here and I need a change of scenery. In addition, I miss Lindsey a lot. I haven't seen my dogs in a while, and I'm curious as to see how my brothers are faring back at home. I'm sure they're doing well. My drums are pretty lonely by now. Ah yes, they need to be played. Funny, I'm just the man for the job. Don't worry drums, for you will be played soon enough. I really want to take up the bass guitar, so I found a teacher that is offering lessons and I'll hopefully be starting this summer if my parents will be willing to pay for the lessons. I will be taking up drum lessons once again, because I feel my technique is getting rusty and there are so many new things for me to learn. Speaking of which, in preparation for my adventure in to Symphonic Band next semester, I'll be looking for general percussion lessons over the summer. I think I'll ask Mr. Litz about it, to see if he knows how I may be able to get them. Either that or I'll ask my drum set teacher about it, to see if he knows anything. The percussion ensemble concert I went to tonight really got me motivated to learn, so hopefully I can make it happen. On a side note, I'm strongly considering taking up the handbells next semester and joining the handbell choir. The music they perform sounds so beautiful, something you wouldn't be able to produce on anything but a set of handbells.
In Anime/Manga world, I've been reading Kenichi like a madman. It's probably my favorite manga that I've read so far, but keep in mind I have not legitimately read a full set of manga before. I've always been one for anime. I'm slowly discovering, however, that manga has so many wonderful things to offer, seeing as I'm intensely immersed in Kenichi at the moment. I'm also watching Blood+, a series which I'm not quite sure what to think of yet.
THEY FINALLY TURNED ON THE A/C IN THE DORMS. However, it was a little late. It's starting to cool off again. Poor planning on the university's part. If only they turned it on a few days beforehand. It was hot as balls outside.
Til' Then...
