because my blog has lately been full of emo and stupid self-talk that many people wouldn't care about and much less read about, I now present to you something that people still won't care about but at least is remarkably more amusing: MOEMON

Scholarships and Idleness
One of the most remarkably irking qualities humans sometimes have is the fact that they feel like they have nothing to do when there is obviously something to do. I on many occasions have reprimanded people on this yet I feel extremely frustrated that it has happened many times to myself as well, classifying me well as a hypocrite for telling others to fight against idleness when it's happening to me every so often. Most recently there had been a troubled feeling about how I seemed to have nothing to do, even though I did have things to do and they were planned out accordingly so I didn't have too much work to do. But just today it had turned out that I had forgotten something incredibly important, something that wasn't even that difficult to do had I thought of it earlier, and that was turning in scholarship applications.
It had occurred to me when a fellow undergraduate working in my lab had said she got accepted to a scholarship and I congradulated her. But then I realized that I had forgotten all about scholarships since the last time I sent applications in, which was last semester. This was an incredible fault on my behalf since many of my applications can simply be copied and given in as a new application. But this time I forgot, and a lot of potential was lost immediately. This is an immensely grave mistake, yet also a very good lesson to myself how foolish and immature I had been. I had thought that I had all things planned out, but in reality I was only looking at things inside school, taking less into account my labwork (since I had less proposals to write about) and other administrative issues. I had thought that in terms of administrative issues I had been fairly on top of things, scheduling my classes very early and getting all the stuff done with my advisors as soon as possible. But obviously that proved to be wrong.
Regardless about how much I distress about it, I can't do anything about it now. I have to learn from my mistakes and make sure they don't happen ever again (or at least happen less often), therefore I will be sure to get all things dealt with, even if they are many months ahead of time. If I don't have the deadline for something yet, I will make a preliminary deadline to check when the time comes that there should be a deadline, even if I need my cell phone to remind me.
I will hope this won't happen again, because the feeling of failure, though needed, is never comfortable.

Morbidity.
Generally I should be doing my lab report which is what I had planned, but due to my illness I'm going to delay that. One may be wondering why I can't do my lab report if I'm here writing in my blog, but due to previous experience (for example, this afternoon) I found that when I'm doing academic work which usually requires thinking, I'll be exerting a lot of energy and this severely degrades my condition when I'm sick. If I do something that doesn't require that much thinking and is just relaxing (maybe like watch Aria, if I had Aria on this computer...) I don't think it will stress me out as much which would be significantly better so I can recover from my condition faster.
On a positive note I didn't procrastinate on my lab report and have most of it (I think) finished. I'm just worried I won't have as much time to double check over it before I have to turn it in.
In regards to anime, I completely finished Clannad in one weekend. This requires a blog writeup since it was obviously good, but that will have to come later because that also requires quite a bit of thinking and energy exertion. Someone remind me to do that later. And to also put up a writeup on the ONE visual novel too.
I have a strange suspicion that my illnesses and my microbiology class are conspiring together. A few weeks ago when our teacher started talking about Viruses I had an outbreak of Herpes virus, which I hadn't had for a while. (Herpes virus is a latent virus that comes back every so often in a person who has it, for those who don't know, use wiki) And now when my teacher is starting her lecture on pathogens and immunology, I get sick again. Which I can complain is unfair because I was only sick 3 months ago (and I think its the exact same illness too, a common cold -_-;; ) but on top of that I get allergies and the lovely Santa Ana winds coming by to make me feel more miserable than I already am. Well, on the positive side I don't have a fever.
Yet. >.> <.<

MUSIC QUIZ THINGY
With help from ChikoSai because as sad as it sounds I have no idea what 3/4ths of the titles on my playlist mean. Probably the reason why I never did it earlier.
RULES:
1. Put Your iTunes, Windows Media Player, ETC on Shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Put any comments in brackets after the song name.
5. Put this on your journal.
1. If someone says, "Is this okay?" You say?
Kimi ga Matteiru Kara
(I'm still here waiting for you)
[Gackt]
If anything probably just waiting for someone to finish so we can leave already.
2. How would you describe yourself?
Hitorigoto
(Monologue)
[KOTOKO]
...uh, I'll interpret this as being somewhat of a loner. Which is partly true.
3. What do you like in a girl?
Duran Shoukan
(Summoning of Duran)
[Kajiura Yuki, Mai Hime OST]
...ok... the most farfetched interpretation I can think of this is tsundere which is WRONG... well maybe not quite but certainly not Duran.
4. How do you feel today?
Monochrome Sekai
(Monochrome World)
[Shimotsuki Haruka]
I don't see the world in gray! ...Do I? ...It's cloudy today.
5. What is your life's purpose?
Rhythm Emotion
[Endless Waltz]
Not quite. In a most farfetched idea it could signify adding a sort of stability to complex human behavior which could possibly signify the desire to overcome one's faults to become someone greater. Or that I live for techno.
I think its the former.
6. What is your motto?
Snow Angel
[KOTOKO]
HAHAHA THIS MAKES NO SENSE BUT IT'S ENTERTAINING.
7. What do your friends think of you?
Heart Warm
[Spiral OST]
ROTFL.
8. What do you think of your parents?
Kimi yo, Utsukushii Kaze ni Nare
(Feeling the beautiful wind with you)
[KOTOKO]
Well, we DO go on vacations a lot. Possibly symbolic about the enjoyment of spending time with my family.
9. What do you think about very often?
Last Song
[Gackt]
Because its better than the current song.
10. What is 2 + 2?
Happy Material

11. What do you think of your best friend?
Michishirube
(Guidance? or something like that)
[Yuumao]
Umm... well I don't have one type of best friend anyway so... I guess I'm a good guider? or I get guided by my friend? I think the former would apply more.
12. What do you think of the person you like?
Kagerou
(Dragonfly, or Heat Haze)
[Various Artists]
:V Heat maybe more appropriate. Analogy for "hot?" I don't like "hot" girls though...
13. What is your life story?
Can you feel crying alone?
[tiaraway]
That sounds remarkably emo.
14. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Neat Sister
[Rozen Maiden OST]
...WHAT.
15. What do you think of when you see the person you like?
Ashi Ato
(Footprints)
[KOTOKO]
Because the foot is the most attractive part of the body. For more symbolic meaning, Footprints are like imprints in the sand which can interpret to having fond fading memories which would mean I would think she'd be memorable.
16. What will you dance to at your wedding?
Chiisana Shiawase
( A Small Happiness)
[Kajiura Yuki, Mai Hime OST]
Not a bad song actually, for a wedding.

An excellent way to end my life. Like the Big bang, only opposite.

Yamiyo no Prologue
(Prologue to a Dark Night)
[Kajiura Yuki]
I am secretly a dark and evil person. Actually, some people may agree with this.

Hua Duo Kai Hao Le
(The flowers have finished blooming)
[S.H.E.]
Symbolic of the end of life? Or the end of the "blooming" period of life, aka getting old. Not a bad fear to have.
20. What is your biggest secret?
Solitary
[Gackt]
...I don't think its that big of a secret that I'm sort of a loner.
21. What do you think of your friends?
Kirameki no Kanata he
(That Sparkle on the other side)
[Miyu Matsuki]
Awwww... how cute... Sounds very Aria-ish.
