Got my new laptop yesterday (HP Pavilion dv6-1100so). Love it. Named it London. (The other computer is Gregori.)


I am... trying to start reading to the archeology entrance examination, but... it really doesn't interest me that much anymore. Actually, it doesn't interest me at all.
When I went to the first entrance examination, I kind of got vexed on how the university looked and felt like. It was so... academic and just screamed READING, READING AND MORE READING AND ACADEMIC THINGS  AND PHILOSOPHICAL CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND A THING ABOUT AND AREN'T EVEN INTERESTED. Also, I don't even think I'll pass the exam because those things I read just don't stay in my head if I read them only once, and I don't have time to read it twice (I'm even in more hurry than I was with the two other books). Also, the exam consists two essays with 4-6 pages and at school I hardly even reached the 4 pages. So, this reading really feels frustrating. (Especially when others are already on their summer vacations.) 
So now I have the feeling that no way in hell I want to go to a place like that unless I can study japanese language and culture.
I'd rather take a year off and go to work and get paid and then try to get to the university to study japanese next year.
So, I dunno... I'll have to talk about this to mom and hear what she thinks about it.




But now I seriously have to start reading if things don't go as planned.
