In between V
Just a short status report on my life at the moment, written separately from the Lufia Review below, cos it was kinda long. If you have no interest in my life (and why should you, I know I haven't) just scroll down to the Fall of the Sinistrals.Today I have finally handed out my thesis to my guidance councellor and my secondary reader, both of whom told me that I was pretty much graduated now, only the paperwork needs to be finished. The ceremony will be on wednesday December 7th (check your Study Guide!) and then I will be Student No More, and I will fall into the eternal abyss of Common Life, until I die. Yay.
That is, unless I can get my hands on that elusive scholarship in Japan. I got a letter from the Nuffic organisation today, assuring me again that I have been elected as a possible candidate (as if the word of the embassy was not yet enough) but they also told me I was the 3rd Main Candidate, whatever that means.
I guess it means that I'm third in line, but as long as they're giving away 3 scholarships, that should be no problem. It probably will be though, cos that's how things tend to go. They also stated that my documents have been sent to the Japanese government and that they will contact me about the results. This is kinda odd, since the embassy told me I had to acquire a Letter of Acceptance from Osaka University first, so I'm not sure what this means either. Still, the less I have to do the better, just as long as people throw money at me.
It's kinda scary to realise that the end of my study as a Japanologist is nigh, seeing as how I've been doing this since 1997 now, it's like a huge chapter coming to a close right there. I'm scared mommy. Still, it's nice to know that I have no obligations anymore, like exams or PAPERS and that I can finally start life as a Porn Star in Thailand. Eeeeeeexcellent.
Gamewise, the benevolent Sir Damen has gracefully bestowed me with some of his extremely legal PS2 games, meaning I am now in the proud, if temporary, possession of ICO (can't wait to play this), Metal Gear Solid 3 (this either), Dragon Quest 8, Suikoden IV, and some fighting games so it's a good thing I'm almost graduated and already unemployed. And there's still a bunch of N64 games I got from Bort, so happy times are here.
I'll try to maintain the project as best I can. Next up is Luigi's Mansion, which I am looking forward to playing again, but first ICO.
No wait, first some Porn.

Once again, you're probably not going to japan. I mean, I know that I'm not here.
It does look like japan, and the people around here speak japanese and eat japanese food, but something's fishy about the whole deal. I'm guessing it's just a huge conspiracy, and I'm actually on Terschelling, which they transformed into japan, just to shut me up.
I guess it's working.
Well, that would explain why I read in the papers that Terschelling is closed "due to repairs".
Those bureaucratic bastards!
