But the urge to squash Issu is great.

A sign that you've been playing Okami way too much: Every time you spy a tree, sadly bereft of all its leaves, you have the urge to whip out your Celestial Brush and perform "bloom" on it. I HAVE OKAMI ON THE BRAIN.

Should I disappear off the face of lj again, you'll most likely find me glued to the tv, totally immersed in the beautiful, beautiful world of Okami. ♥ But I have a feeling I'll start updating more once school starts next week since I'm a big fan of procrastination.

Speaking of returning to college:

Bro: What about Art History?
Me: ...
Me Are you sure you want to take Art History?
Me: Wait, before I tell you about it, take a look at these [pulls out about a million flashcards of art slides from last semester] and these [pulls out tests]. (Explanation of exams, blah blah blah, gotta memorize a ton of information, blah blah blah, only 3 grades the whole semester, blah blah blah, somewhat high drop out rate.)
Bro: [stares]
Me: I don't think you want to take this course. (And what I really mean by this is "YOU WOULDN'T MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.")
Bro: ...So...yeah. [goes back to petting the cat as if this conversation never happened]

As one of the few who survived the first semester of Art History, and despite my totally unnecessary wails of despair over it (I made an A, people!), I signed up for a second semester of it.

EDIT. There's a live-action Hana-Kimi?! WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS BEFORE.

Don't die from LJ!

Everyone sorta died on LJ. :( I guess I sort of did too....well I read it everyday though.

Art History sounds LAME.

I won't die! Haha, for some reason I update less during vacation time even though I have all this free time on my hands. But hey, the spring semester starts for me next week so I'll be back to making random daily posts before you know it. XD

Art History is interesting if you enjoy learning about different periods of art (I'm a fan of the Gothic and Renaissance periods) and a bunch of useless information about all the individual pieces you go over in class. But if you hate memorizing tons of info then this class would be hell on earth. <----Which is why I tried to scare my brother out of it. I liked it though, so I guess I'm just a masochist.

I do too. But I didn't have a whole whole lot of free time during the break. Well I did...but I was spending it in different ways. XD

I update during school usually because I have free time in class.

I would be so bored with Art History I think. I love DOING art, not reading about other people doing it. Maybe that makes me strange but I just don't think I'd be interested, but I think I have to take it. :/

Yeah, I'm pretty sure if you're majoring in anything art related you'll have to take Art History. D:

College classes are tough. I hate when there are only a few tests that make up the entire average. I like some extra credit or daily assigments or something else to boost the average.

Have you had any insane classes yet? I don't mean hard classes. I mean the ones that you hear about from upper classmen years before you take them. Example: I'm taking Vertebrate Zoology this semester. Ever since I started taking biology classes I've heard about this class and this professor. I've heard about his tests, his lab, everything. This is a class from hell. Last semester my Microbiology class was like that. Every test over half the people failed. Out of about 150 students, there were only 4-5 A's each test. And only 10-30 B's. O_O I somehow got an A in that class. God I love curves to classes like that.

So yeah... just wondering if you're doing good or if you've found that one class that you have to give 400,403,278,343% just to pass.

That's how my Art History class was: only 3 grades and no extra credit or any other way to bring up your grade. Whenever the professor was telling us about the course on the first day (after she commented that some of us looked scared about the whole grade thing) she said, "I'm pretty sure this is the last day I'll see some of you, so just come to class prepared." She was right; by the next lecture people had already dropped the course. (And by the time of the final exam at least half the class had dropped out. My entire row was gone!)

I haven't had any classes that I would call "insane", but some have given me a difficult time where I'm forced to have an emo moment over them (<---though that was pretty much unneeded since I did fine in those classes).
