I know I am late, but here you go. Happy new year to everyone who is Chinese.
I have been really busy with school. 4/5 of my classes have on going group projects. They are really time consuming. It means I don't get any breaks.
I am starting to look for co-op jobs. I got some interviews, so I guess I am pretty happy.
School started. I have four classes that are all teaching information technology related topics. I have one law class, which is like the most interesting class in this term.
I did a relatively good job at staying awake in classes so far.
There are a lot of terms I have to remember for IT though... and that's a bit discerning.
Studying and etc aside, I have been playing a bit of PS2. I tried out Persona3 and played a bit more of Tales of Abyss. For the first time in a year I touched my PSP. I get to play Disgaea and Brave Story when I am standing on the bus home. It's rather entertaining.
My new year resolutions (not in order of importance)
1) Read my text books, keep up with school work, get high grade average
2) Find a good co-op job
3) Finish Tales of the Abyss
4) Try out a new sport
5) Actually finish writing a story
6) Improve on grammar and spelling
7) Be less transparent, learn better anger management
As mentioned before, exam weeks of hell started, and today it reached the climax with 2 exams back to back. Let me just discuss about how I spent the past 3 days.

- Monday, actually explained something to some girl before goverment and business exam.
- Monday, almost cried in joy when the teacher announced he would give us 3 hours to do the test, not 2 hours as I originally thought
- Monday, actually felt sad when I handed in the CPSC 313's final because I like the prof very very much
Just got off first exam. It started at 7pm and it's 3 hours, so you do the math. Seeing I am behind on blogging, I decided to celebrate the end of the first exam by doing a few entries I wanted to write but never had a chance to write earlier (yes, I know, I am just that sad).
I changed the date of these entries so that they would better reflect on the originally intended dates.
Akizuki's Cosplay Magazine Picture Post -- deserve a post of its own because as pitiful as it may sound Akizuki in any context makes me swoon.
David Beckham Game Post -- Well it's not every day that Canadians get to see Davide Beckham in Canada
Way to Kill Sympathy Post -- It's something I feel rather strongly about
First Flurry of the Winter Post -- What can I say? You treasure what you don't get.
Santa Parade Post - I happened to have lots of pictures. So...
Gundam 00 Post - Well this is the only anime I am following really actively this season
Snow Geese Post -- It is a bit worrying.
-- About a series called Beauty Honey
Last summer, finals' stress manifested itself into mad e-mail checking and generally staring out into space. This year finals' stress manifested itself into some mad manga downloading.
During this craze, I happened upon this manga called Beauty Honey... and I think I found one of the most handsome shoujo manga characters in my shoujo manga reading history.
I actually don't know his name, but here are two pictures of him:
Plot wise, I think this series is just like your typical shoujo manga, but who cares when I get to stare at this guy?
I thought I left Gundam behind me in grade 9 when Gundam Wing aired in North America. You see, I have not actually liked any Gundam series since then (yes, including the infamous Gundam Seed and Seed-Desiny), and I have also been quite successful in convincing myself that Gundam Wing actually sucked -- and had I not been so young and naive I would have never lay eye on that series as well.
But then, Gundam 00 arrived...
And all hell broke lose.
I will leave the long commentary about characters for another day, but let me just post a picture of the two characters I care most of. Now, they are not the most popular of the cast by far, they are not even all that well developed as characters so far, but they have certain qualities that I find endearing (possibly have something to do with the few similarities they share with Arc and Lumeria?).
*meant to post this post before the OP song post too, but didn't get around to it till now just like the other post
