Lets see... I re-watched Melancholy of Haruhi, and I re-watched the entirety of Ruroni Kenshin. Other than that, I have been working 60 hrs a week, 40 of those during the night hours and 20 of those during the day. I think my body rebelled at some point and the last few days have been a complete hallucination.
i think that weather and food are the best topics to start conversation when you don't know anything about a person you are talking to :D
i think kendo is really fun, though i'm not yet allowed to wear bogu (not till a take my 6-kyu-exam), but this weekend our kendo group took part in a small regional tournament and i just watched our men fighting. it was so fascinating that i now also want to take part in it though 2 weeks ago i was terrified by bogu because it's too hot in it especially in summer :D
judo is too much physical contact for me )) but you are right about size, i've seen how my mountain-like teammate just pushed a smaller opponent away from the grounds )) a small person like me has no chance against a bigger rival without enough speed
haha the same topics as how you eat a choko cornet :DDD and how about other school animes, are they also similar to reality ? )
what i'm doing at work doesn't really have anything to do with maths, it's rather IT, but i really like it ) and i also started kendo this april :D it may sould like a lot of stuff that i'm doing at the moment but it isn't actually thaaat much. the old german uni-system (when you graduate with a diploma) made it easy to combine studies and work especially when you are almost done. you don't have fixed dates when you have to graduate and you can take as many exams or tests per term as you like, i have friends that have been studying for 6-7 years :D but 2 years ago the new bachelor-master system was integrated in all universities, it's more firm but i'm still allowed to study up to the old system as i started :P
anime-wathing is my holy time )) on working days i just watch 1-2 episodes in the morning to wake up and 1-2 episodes before going to bed :DD sometimes more on weekends, but today i'm almost out of internet traffic for august (50mb left), so i have to wait till tuesday lol :D
i'm working for loreal germany, it's a french cosmetics firm and they have a lot of french staff and the majority of bosses are also french and it would just be easier to communicate ;)
is lucky star really so much like real life ? i would never think that :)
i think it's always so that you forget the language that you are not using all the time. the same thing happened to my english as soon as i came to germany due to the lack of practice. i'm now speaking german much better than english, the problem is that when i try to say something in english only german words come to mind :D but thanks to anime my english is coming back but not in the same amount as it was 4 years ago (( and the grammar is almost away, i have no idea of different tences anymore (
i studied english since i was 8 in a school that specialised in english, so at the end of school it was very good, i think the level could be described as upper intermediate (at least our teachers said so), and german for 3 years in the university in russia but really intensive, because i had to take a german language test before entering german university. i also once started learning spanish on my own, but then just gave up, because i had noone to speak spanish with me
and i hope to finally start studying japanise this october ;) and i also need french for my present job, but i won't be able to do it because of my diploma-thesis coming in spring :D
so i'm quite a language junkie, i can read a dictionary for hours sometimes :D
p.s. it's pity that you don't seem to like lucky star the way i am (
wow that was overhelming, but all in all almost as i expected it to be. it was clear that you will not be accepted as a native, but i'm relieved that you don't feel yourself excluded ))
my only experience abroad is germany and up until now it was really pleasant. i think 100 years ago it would be much more difficult to intergrate in a foreign country as nowadays ;) but on the other a lot depends on your personality, if you show the will to be a part of the new group and be respectful to others (as you said) it will also be ok )
and how is it there all in all ? i've heard from my co-worker that it's pretty hard for foreigners to adapt to japanese way of life, because they don't know traditions and they don't understand the way the natives think. how is it for you ?
wow that's cool ) i also want to try it with teaching german (or math, bur my japanese is yet toooo bad for math) after university if it works out. how did you get there ? was it difficult ? have you studied japanese before ?
sure )
first of all it's detroit metal city: i recommend it to all my friends but it doesn't work out by all of them. and i laughted so hard that i had to pause a couple of times in each episode )))
and the other anime i enjoyed in the last time is sengoku basara - it's about samurai but kinda new modern setting ))
i hope you will like at least one of them ^^
and if you want to read something then solanin, if you liked clannad after story you will sure like this one too )) and tha artwork is just amazing
