usullusaFor a number of reasons, some of them financial, it looks like I will not be gong to Japan next semester after all.
Am I disappointed? A bit. This is something I've been wanting for years. On the other hand I've had my experience with Japanese considerably soured by NYU's Japanese department, so at least this gives me time to cleanse my pallet.
At least I get to stay in New York. In the grand scheme of things this is pretty goddamn awesome because, well, it's New York. It's certainly better than being back in Connecticut for three months around my parents every single day while all my friends are at college. Probably I would have to do something horrible like work at BonTon again.
I'm trying to figure out which courses to register for now. This is actually the most fun part of college. The actually act of taking said classes is considerably less nice I find.
Oh yes and New York voted down the same-sex marriage bill today. ANGER. I don't- I'm sick of this argument. It disgusts me that this is an issue. I can't wrap my mind around how a person can think it's their right to meddle in other's lives. HOW IS IT OKAY TO TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THEY'RE LESSER CITIZENS.
Ugh.

Now I'm just numb to anything but victories, as scarce as they are.

join me in the club of "argh my state is so ~*progressive*~ that gays have every right but this one". Meetings are whenever the fuck I feel like it.
Fuck you, New York. Fuck you, California.
Fuck you, America. I'm leaving you for Canada.
