I have been spending much time researching on nature news articles recently.
They are for my graduation thesis.
Furthermore, I have to search for news involving East Asian nations, especially the Two Koreas for one of my classes in SILS.

The bad thing about surfing the net for research is that I tend to surf unnecessary websites and social networking sites such as fb and mixi. I shan't justify myself to open those sites and solely concentrate on research.

Perhaps, I've been too caught up recently that I don't even have the energy to upload pics on my poor blog. I do have some in my digicam but too lazy to upload them onto my computer.
I hope everything will be back to normal once I finish my MOFA exam in June, erm no...my graduation thesis in July.

Got back results from the mock exam I took earlier this month. The core subjects ( Constitutional Law/International Law/Economics) were a disaster. But I pulled up my score on general knowledge(which i don't consider it to be 'general' for a person who was brought up outside of Japan), thought i could score better in current affairs essay, and of course English Japanese Interpretation was the best score I had among all the subjects. A little disappointed that I wasn't placed in the top rankings but oh wells, I won't even make if my core subjects and 'general' knowledge remains to be this bad.

Well, I'll see how it goes.

What I'm looking forward to for the next few weeks:

SATC 2 !!
United Nations Student Seminar. Finally having a chance to meet up with Tomomi since our reunion last September. There'll be lectures by Katsuma Sensei (from GSAPS) and Daimon Sensei.

Theres something about Japanese and their suits.

I went to take the MOD exam today, and apparently 90% of the examinees were wearing suits.
I've heard from my seniors that it would be best to wear something comfortable, especially when the exams last from 9am to 5pm...

Anyway, I'm going to take a short break from studying/working, and go watch the Waseda VS Hosei baseball match with my mum tomorrow. Sadly I can't take her to the famous Sokei( Waseda vs Keio ) match but well, at lease she got to watch a college baseball match while I'm in Waseda :)

Its going to be a busy month ahead.
