SOOOO, my new roommate is here!! Her name's Flavia. >w< seems nice so far!
Let's see how it'll go from now on ~
Fun time is over D: no more skipping classes, serious business starts tomorrow at 8AM. I'm actually scared, I admit it. T_T
I'm gonna miss these days so much ;_;
So ever since arriving in Lisbon and meeting a couple of sweet people, my desire to invest in learning classical music instruments is back to going wild. It's a great chance now that I have stopped all the other activities, but the prices. THE GODDAMN PRICES, MAN.
... This will need some deep brainstorm.
...
After stopping being off-beat with the classes. Classes first or I'll end up getting my head cut off.

26th September 2012
Guys. GUYS. Have I told you already that food here is really REALLY great? Probably you already heard that from me multiple times already but I don't mind repeating it again BECAUSE IT'S SERIOUSLY REALLY GREAT! <3
Pfffffuuuh! First subway journey was a success! *YES, I'M LATE, NOT SORRY ABOUT THAT*
I kinda got worried at some point (remember this is Mrs. Ultimate-Scaredy-Cat talking here...), but everyone was sweet to me about everything, both seniors and colleagues. One new friend who was also a freshman offered herself to acompany me back to the closest station to the residence, leaving the fun behind as well! People have been absurdly kind to me around here, I'm seriously lucky ~ ;_;
I've been adoring these freshman classless days more and more. Here's me praying that it is the godfather and godmother to chose us and not the opposite, because I have NO FRIGGIN' IDEA WHO TO CHOOSE! Man, they're all really adorable people, I don't know what to do ;w; ~
I've been making some great new friends lately as well. Hopefully the contact will remain after this. It was heartwarming to see that some of our veterans found their soul-mate or best-friend during these days back in their freshman times. There was one of them who also spoke really good french and initially was supposed to accompany me home instead of the girl who ended up going, but since he ended up stoned and kinda drunk, we thought it would be safer for him to stay there and enjoy the night in the company of older people and friends.
Anyway, can't wait for tomorrow!

SOOO. Guess who got soaked to the bone for singing from the bottom of her lungs for over three hours, one of which was spent under the friggin' rain. Good thing our seniors are just the greatest.
Tomorrow there's a huge college party. Having a tough time making a deal with my parents TwT I'm not a drinking person (I can hear the older blog readers laughing at this... I WAS, not anymore, okay? ._.) and I'm a scaredy cat who's deadly nervous about pulling an all-nighter in the middle of FRIGGIN' LISBON STREETS, BUT -- I mean, it's a really important event. So I tried to suck up my fears and being consoled by the fact that we're going to be accompanied by our seniors and not allowed to wander alone (and we're what, like, 50 people?), etc etc.; too bad my parents don't share the same thought.
I'll try to find a way to come back for the night, in order to spend a little time with them too. Balancing things, blablabla. Wish me luck!

Everyone taking care of serious college business and I'm here giggling over LOLcats.
Traumas and nervousness about this and that class don't get me rid of my procrastination that much =w='
Aaaand, back to LOLcats! ~

I'm back from the weekend!! Also rain rain RAIN. Instant mood boost!
Today my backs feel a lot better so I went to classes anyway. French was interesting, but I left the Literature class feeling mentally drained and even slightly traumatized. It was SCARY. I didn't understand batshit of it and the teacher, though she seems nice, was really scary when she mentioned hating college initiation rituals.
My seniors are absolutely amazing, nonetheless! Kind of makes me want to skip the next week of classes and decently participate in the rituals, rather than being mortified and killed little by little by that kind of classes again.
OKAY so I learned a valuable lesson: NO MATTER how much your French teacher actually looks disappointed for first graders not skipping her class in order to have fun out there, NEVER assume other teachers even remotely feel okay about it. My Literature teacher CLEARLY DOES NOT. It's my fault for opening my mouth, though TwT ~
BUT SERIOUSLY THAT CLASS IS LEGITLY SCARY. I left knowing even less than I did before entering. Having to skip further classes and knowing I've made the teacher dislike me doesn't help at all either. WHAT DO I DO ;____;
I have so much to take care of this week TwT ~ but people keep telling me to have fun and "turn the brain off" for a couple of weeks in order to properly enjoy these moments because they won't ever happen again ~
TOUGH COLLEGE LIFE, MAN. TOUGH CHOICES.

21st September 2012
So many kitties that I can see from my window. Right now I can see three of them.
There wasn't one day I didn't see at least a couple of them.
They hang around the windows or backyards of other people, or worse, in top of roofs and unreachable places, so I can't go there and pet them. Only the ones at the front of the building or the outer stairways.
I found one there today actually, but it was scared of my bag. It took a while for me to get close to it.
Also, I was told there is a cat lover woman living in these houses somewhere and she feeds all the stray cats around here. I should really go and meet her! Perhaps I'll have access to more cats.

I can clearly hear a cello playing outside from my window.
Probably from another window of the mountain of houses I see from here. It's not from far enough for it to come from any of the skyscappers or tall buildings from further (which make one heck of a scenery at night!) Maybe it's from the streets in the middle of the houses? Or from a backyard?
ANYWAY I LIKE IT VERY MUCH, PLEASE DON'T STOP, CELLO LISTENER/PLAYER.
I wanna learn how to play cello.
Aaaaaah, Lisbon center neighborhoods. It's truely something that looks like comming from a book. Classical instruments playing, cats lazying around in big street stairways at the shadow of trees, tons and tons and tons of small coffee places, the sound of the highway echoes at night if you leave your window open (though you have to get used to big noisy planes first if you wanna do that, lmao). Lots of dog poop in the sidewalk, though. Can't have everything perfect.
Currently ravening with Claudia over the capital and making plans for a nice afternoon in a little coffee place, surrounded by cats and stairways, accompanied by two bitterly black coffee mugs and tons of custard pastry. LISBON, GUYS.
I think I'm gonna like living here for the next 7 years.

I went to take an X Ray. Butt is not broken. Just hurt. Literal butthurt, guys.
... no laugh? Aw.
SO BASICALLY I've been spending these days procrastinating to the fullest. Well OKAY, it was PRODUCTIVE procrastination. You know, cleaning and organizing your AKB48 files, memorizing the lyrics of UZA (TAKAMINA'S HAIR, DUDE. TAKAMINA'S. HAIR. LEGIT STUFF), having a multi-chat in the name of good ol' times with fandom buddies and bawling/shrieking at cute idols. A very productive day indeed.
... God I shouldn't be getting used to this. COLLEGE ALREADY STARTED.
.... MAAAAN, I'M IN COLLEGE. I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT. LIVING IN LISBON. HOW. DID. THAT. HAPPEN. When did I grow up from being a 14 years old whimsical little brat?
(who said I'm not a whimsical little brat anymore?)

Though I know I've complained about the planes before, I have to say they're quite the impressive thing... I think my mom would freak out living in this room where planes look like they're about to boop your nose (she's really REALLY scared of planes).
I have yet to take a picture of them and upload it here. Not now, since my mobile phone is going HURR DURR DURR, my digital camera lens are stuck due to sand from the beach and I've yet to take them to get fixed, and my laptop... Well sorry but no, I won't take a print screen of planes going happy-go-lucky with my laptop on my window, rofl.

19th September 2012
YES I KNOW. Some computers mess with the HTML positioning. Heck, even my laptop sees everything here messed up. I can't do anything, I'm no HTML pro, I just know that in some resolutions it looks perfect, and then in others it looks... A mess. Out of place. OKAY. NEXT ISSUE. (it's not like you can't read it, guys... It just looks less pretty. I'll ask for help about it when I GET LESS LAZY)
SOOO, a lot of you know that I fell on the stairs Monday evening, landing a massive butt fall, thus me having to miss the first friggin' week of classes. How awesome is that. Man, college starts just great. TwT ~
So now I'm sitting with my butt on a couple of pillows ON THE FLOOR with my laptop and notebooks on the bed. After a handful of hilarious LAME position attempts around the room (bed, desk, chair, yadayadayada), I figured this would be the most painless one - it's still annoying and one of my legs is asleep though ._.'
Nights are the greatest. Not only I'm still not used to planes flying right above my head as if they were about to crash in our building, now I have to deal with finding the ONE position in the middle of 237846238642873642734 painful ones in order to fall asleep. And every night it seems that ONE position changes. So I have to try my luck again. When I figure out which one works, ends up the sun is already rising high in the sky - so yeah, basically I sleep until noon.
Roommate is still nowhere to be seen. You can see her empty bed behind me. I heard she's only comming in the last days of September or beginning of October. I can use the room freely and do whatever I damn please, yes, but it's still somewhat lonely ;_; everyone is so great here, but I feel kind of outcast since they know each other and have formed groups and I'm here like "heeeeeeeey *awkward face*, I have no idea what you guys are talking about but here's a huge smile with all the teeth of the world since I'm the epitome of socially-awkward people". But now seriously, they're really sweet girls! I got a real lucky landing here. Hopefully I'll get over my shyness and awkwardness soon.
SO, I thought I should use this free week to do something else than just, you know, get up at noon, grab a book or procrastinating over the laptop, the usual. And decided it's finally time to move on with brushing my japanese skills. So now, my brand new college class notebook is full of kanji and japanese scribbling every here and there.
I'm bored and feel a little lonely, which consequently leads me to feel like I'm not being my usual self ever since I'm here. I look so anti-social! Also, due to my backs, I can't even go for a stroll in order to explore the city a little bit more. I actually feel like I'm wasting a REALLY important piece of time, though people say teachers won't give too much lectures for now. Heck, how I am supposed to believe that when my first class ever (first hour of the first day of college, 8AM on Monday) was full of information and this and that and OH GOD PLEASE HEAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR I'M GOING TO DRIVE MYSELF CRAZY. ;_____; I'm not THAT introverted. I get depressed easily without going out of my room. Also roommate, please come soon ~ and be a nice person ~ XDD ...
