last class  
my last class from my swedish school is on friday (same day as when i'll hear if i got the job or not). the final version of my BA thesis proposal hasn't been graded yet, but it's been put up publically along with 3 other students' (one student's is missing) so i assume that means it passed. but since i don't know and this teacher is so crazy, i'll keep being wary. also even if i passed this final turn-in that doesn't necessarily mean i've passed the course overall, sadly.

during the last class we're supposed to read the other people's proposals and critique them. so i started reading them, and guess what. the very first one is lacking stuff the teacher told me i HAD to include in MINE, for example "sample data"! it's written so confusingly that you read the whole paper and still have no clue what they're going to do, and is riddled with grammar mistakes (stuff like turning a sub-clause into a new sentence, using a plural verbform when it should be singular, and misusing semi-colons). the girl who wrote this already has a master's degree in another subject so unlike the rest of us she doesn't have the excuse of "not knowing how to write a passing paper".

in other news, yesterday and today is the biggest festival of the whole year in sendai (with the main part being today). i tried filming a little yesterday and will try more today, then link it here. i could barely sleep so i dunno how long i can stay out... i'll go try to sleep more now.

gotta go to the doctor this week to try and sort my medicine out... unfortunately i noticed that the only real paper i have proving that the medicine is mine (except for having the actual unopened medicine itself, which has my name on it) is written in swedish and not english. so i'm gonna hand-write a translation on top of it and just kinda hope they accept the two together as legit.
