uckies... a bad class !! and anime spoilers !
After a little more holiday in which I was crippled by bronchitis and an insane of hours to work, it is finally time for classes to begin.. Friday, after spending a cold, dreary, rainy Thursday recovering in bed, I went to take care of my tuition through the credit union loan program. This sort of loan is very agreeable to me and Ive done it several times. Basically I pay 25% of my tuition and take out a loan for the rest. The loan is paid back in three installments due each month over the semester. This way, I can afford an education and not owe a fortune when I graduate. Unfortunately, it has gained in popularity and I had to wait an insanely long amount of time. I took number 92 and they were on 80, so I sat down and quickly realized that everyone there needed to open accounts and all that mess. I did, however, skip over to the bursar lady in line who wasnt doing anything and went ahead and paid $500 down which was about $150 over my 25%. Then I waited a whole hour to get to the first desk where it took me only a minute to sign a form and get my folder to proceed to the final forms table.
mou >.<
I also stopped by to check on my book prices...
$100 for a friggen statistics book !! paperback and very thin at that ! I couldnt believe it.. My music appreciation book is $60, but its hardback and comes with a 4 disc cd. For my History of Religion class, there are only three books at around $12 each. One of them is a book by Max Weber on Protestantism and Capitalism.. I was pleased to see that since I am taking this in place of a politi-social course. My other class didnt have any books available... Id like to say Im relieved, but Dr. Hussein really liked using the IR book when I took that class, and I cant imagine what he's got in mind with the world leaders course.
Today was the first day, and I only had one class in good ole parking hell ILB (instructional lab building... aka physics and math.) This was statistics of course and Im quite dissapointed. I mean, I know I shouldnt have expected something nice, but still........ homework........ takusan...
I HATE HOMEWORK !!
An exam, a reading quiz, an essay due, a report due..
FINE, BUT NO GODDAMN REGULAR HOMEWORK !!
*takes a deep breath*
margh..

The professor looks like she's about 26.. young, flakey, and sounds real nervous when she talks. She's not even a certified professor yet.. She's still a student and just started working on her phd... The supllement instructor is an undergrad that loves statistics and came off as being a total moron otherwise. He spoke like he was some drop-out thug in a street gang. It was pathetic.. Maybe he knows math and thats great for him cause I sure as hell dont, but anything else considered Humanities is obviously not his strong point. By that I mean, I cant see him writing eloquent poetry or a survey of the cold war.
The students in the class were annoyingly preppy and 97% female. I also dont like it when people sit around me when they dont have to because I enjoy privacy in a class when I start to doodle.. someone staring at me drawing or commenting makes me uncomfortable. Naturally, in the first few minutes, I had someone on every side of me and the other side of the room was empty. Grrrr.. and then, eventhough I was near the door, I was the last to leave cause everyone flocked in front of me. Bastards !


Ive got that class three days a week... >.<
In addition to the fact that Im bad at any form of math.
its gonna suck.
Tomorrow is music appreciation class... I cant imagine that being so bad..

So on to anime.

Now that Ive watched all the good series up to the point where Im forced to wait for the next episodes. In the meantime, Ive been exploring new series and will comment accordingly.

Weiss Kreuz Gluehen:
I have some mixed feelings about this one as a fan of the WK boys, but overall, I enjoyed it.
The new characters Ken and Sena werent much to get excited about and had rather dull designs. In fact, Sena looked similar to Mamoru (Omi), but he did have a great seiyuu ^o^ I loves Kappei Yamaguchi, lol.. He should have sang some of the music too !
As for the others, I realize that as the years go by they change and all, but some of the designs irk me and some I like..

Aya: Love that braid ! I think he looked hotter in Gluehen than the other series, but his outfit cant compare to that purple coat he had in Verbrechen ^o^
The dulled reddish color was also more realistic, but still conveying the same old Aya style.I liked that. Too bad he's a shitty history teacher >.<

Omi: Uhgg.. He doesnt even look like the old Omi.. If I didnt know any better, I wouldnt have even thought it was him. His hair got wavy and dull brown with one stupid longer stray bang in the middle of his face. The suit he traded his teenage duds for wasnt appealing either. Too bad he's a shitty Persia >.<

Ken: He was always my favorite eventhough he went through a whiney little bitch stage in the TV series. I liked his old design and Im conflicted over the change. I like it, but if I like it better, I couldnt say. He looks like some cool, trendy, go nagai action hero with a thirst for blood. I liked it.. and the longer hair was a nice touch. I couldnt take it if his hair took such a dramatic change as Youji's !
Too bad he's a shitty college student ;-p

Youji: RAHRGH !! If you didnt think he looked gay enough before, try looking now.. Probably the worst change in this series. I never was a big fan of Youji actually. The romantic cassanova types dont really have appeal, but I cant forgive his design change. He sure as hell doesnt look like he should. The short spikey bleached blond hair isnt attractive like the chin length subtle natural blond. The cowboy hat is another giant negative.
Too bad he's just plain shitty looking...

Schuldig: mmmm, I much approve of his new look. He was always my favorite baddie and his late 19th century new england ragamuffin outfit with nazi hat is quite yummy with his neatly combed long orange hair as opposed to the original choppyness of it.
My only complaint is that you dont see enough of him.

Nagi: No comment really... its good yet similar.. nothing more really to say.

Crawford: boo.... this is terrible.. He was such a cutie-pie bishounen nerd and now he looks like Count Pompousfeather (I made that name up) with his big ass monocle and slicked back white hair. Might as well make him another character completely -.-
His "inner world" sucks too, btw..

Farfello: He was a crazy fruit basket with a design to match. I loved it and looked forward to seeing his new design. So I waited.......... and waited....... then I realized that there was only 3 people in Schwarz... How could they leave out Farfello?!?!? Damnit ! I wanted to see the crazy guy with the voice of Freeza (Naoko Ryuusei)!! Then they finally show him... all of two seconds with no clear image of his design in Crawford's "Inner World".
My analysis: it sucks !! No earrings? no white hair? no yellow creepy eyes? boo.

So what did I think of the end?

******WARNING, UPCOMING SPOILERS******


Ken goes to jail, willingly I assume, and teaches soccer to inmates.. Blargh. He's too good and cute for that damnit.. Finish college !!
Youji loses his memory like he eventually decided not to do after his mental breakdown. Then he marries a nurse named Asuka, same as his dead girlfriend from Schreient, and gets a desk job somewheres.. I guess thats nice, lol.
Omi becomes a jerkface wealthy Takatori and everyone is dissapointed in him, as they should be.
Finally, Aya escapes to be a vigilante in America and dies when some brat stabs him on the streets. I was shocked....... What a terrible way to end Aya's life !! =(

anyhoo.
Naruto 65 was just more hype before the Gara/Sasuke fight thats got me anxious to see.. I was upset... and how the hell did Sasuke's hair get that long so fast? o.O Mou, gotta wait for the hour long fight episode that airs this week in Japan to be fansubbed >.<

Bo-bobo Bo-bobo was some insane crack anime I found with an insanely muscular guy who has a yellow afro and fights with his nosehairs against the evil hair thieves. -.-
More Cromartie High.... More Kaleido Star... More Peace Maker Kurogane... More Papuwa (including raw eps of the original series.) Arashiyama is hilarious.. poor friendless guy !! At least he has posing doll Toji to keep him company @_@

Shin Hokuto no Ken is something I just got now. I loved the cheezy old series cause it was so crappy. Maybe the new one would be more amusing. Well, the Gackt theme songs are out of place... and the CG is bad.. Akira Kamiya doesnt do Kenshiro's voice anymore either which is a huge negative. Eventhough the new guy is Takehito Koyasu, he's still not as good.
Oh well..

I go now..
