Rough p&p price list: 

I got the impression from previous Erasmus-ers that the general idea of an Erasmus exchange for London uni students is that you go to somewhere cheaper with better weather and food, have tons of fun, sit your exams with much less stress comparing to your London mates, meet lots of fellow crazy-in-a-good-way european students, basically spend the whole year enjoying yourself. However...I'm sure it's not collective lying. XD XD

It doesn't help that I enjoy living in London so much to the point that there's simply no comparison. Having said that, I could see myself happily living in Rome...

V.sorry about spamming but the soddy alarm just wouldn't stop. è_é

Was just writing my first entry in ages and then IE decided it didn't like what I was doing and shut down everything. Oh well.

Webpage

but the thing is that my Italian is still very, very bad right now after not having done anything about it during the holiday. How am I going to manage throughout the year?

Language skills aside, after everything that has happened in the last month, especially in the last couple of days (very, very unlucky stuff), I just feel so stressed and start questioning myself if I've made the right decision. Staying in London would be so much easier and more comfortable.

I know I'm supposed to take this as an adventure and new experience in life but atm I'm just so not in that mood. I thought I would be really excited because I've been planning this exchange for years, but when it finally comes all the excitement just disappears completely. Instead I'm full of stress and exhausion and crap. I guess I'll be in a better mood once I get used to everything (which is probably going to take ages).

It makes me wonder about how I'm getting worse at dealing with new environment as I grow older and am supposed to be better at this.

*dead*

Kazuki you have to stop robbing us ;_; 

Newly published on his official website, this place is doing Kazu's artist book memorial photoset at 150 yen per photo during the period of 16th July - 31st Aug. Of course, it's a Japan only thing again. Kazu's loyal fans can either pick it up from the printers in certain shops, or have it shipped to their home. 

me really wants ;_; especially the half naked one

Have been watching a lot of Garo episodes recently. Konishi is adorable in it ^_^ apparently he's very good at pulling this sort of stony-faced but gentle-hearted character. .. .. i'm too sleepy to say anything else but Garo got me into Konishi, very much XD

Have been calling the tenimyu presale number for more than an hour now, but line's busy all the time. I did expect this to happen but at this rate, when I finally get through the tickets I want would've gone anyway. Maybe they're already gone now.

Shall I just give up...or keep going back to the phone every now and then ="= it's a huge waste of time, and I'm bored of repeating meaningless work already.  

Grrr, stupidly pressed backspace and lost the whole entry ><

Anyway this is going to be quick as there's an evil maths for signals exam waiting tomorrow ="=

Saien got in today along with a More than limit programme, a tatsuya programme and a Kengo photoset. Oh the kengo-ness *starry eyes*

MTL programme has a little data men comp between Sota and Shiozawa, which involves them making funny comments on  two pages' worth of backstage photos XDDD. Nagayan is as cute as ever and I suddenly find Tuti VERY VERY attractive. Guess it came from re-watching burimyu after finally reading the original manga. Tuti's Gin is intriguingly and frighteningly authentic. And he looks so pretty in Gin's wig. How did he manage that? I always thought that Nagayan is one actor who can pull out virtually every role he's been in but Tuti is Tuti all the time and has too much originality for his roles.  But burimyu made me realise how good an actor he is. Tuti IS Gin on the stage, Gin in flesh and blood. Tuti you're amazing ( now my useless brain can't generate anythign more complicated than meaningless fangirling. oh well.)

Tatsuya is a play performed recently in tokyo starring Kengo Ookuchi and Masato Wada from tenimyu. That's about as much i'm going to say on the play itself now because the fangirl in me can't wait and has to get all the drooling out before anything else. Although the programme is tiny and has little content comparing to tenimyu programmes i still love it A LOT. OMG Kengo is so gorgeous in it...the wild and violent look in his eyes, like an injured lion, the piercing glaze and the best part, the blood streak on his chest *dies* I can feel the ultimate masculinity and sexiness radiating from his body and...*stops self* I have to put it away otherwise i'll spend the whole night drooling over the two pages featuring him #_#

Have to wait until at least this weekend to watch them. Exams come at such an inconvenient time.

Hmmm I'm being really lazy with my own lj (not a surprise though). 

A very late recap of the curling varsity cup two weeks ago. We had lots of fun playing against our second team while waiting for Cambridge (bad traffic on M5 or something) and beat them 11-3, hoho. It's good to feel the improvement and I was gaining a little bit more precision...it's all about precision. Anyway after two hours of waiting they finally came in and we just kept playing so that Cam could have enough time to warm up. Now I say that our boys were just being generous and playing a good role of host and just...not good at negotiating this type of stuff and gave in too easily. I'm not saying they were taking our advantage but, you know, matches are supposed to be fair right. ..anyway, it was fun. I did considerably better than my counterpart on the cam team coz she was just being totally rubbish for some strange reason, but they had very good people playing the third and fourth. We employed an aggressive strategy trying to level up when we were down 2-4, but it didn't work very well and gave them more points so it was like 2-6. Oh well. Although it was a bit long (5-hr non stop playing without any lunch or breakT_T)it was a great time and the cam team bought us drinks in the local pub. They are actually surprisingly friendly and nice people, comparing some of their sports teams obviously. Considering the weird but understandable (erh) Imperial anti-Oxbridge (esp. Cam) complex,  it was amazing that the two teams got on so well. Their captain was amazing XDD.

Anyway I'm glad i took on curling because of Hice Cool and an wondefully stupid but hilarious and cute Makoto!Shirota in it. Next...Capoeira! *drools on Takumi* Tenimyu has had an amazing effect on me in terms of taking on stuff the actors were doing. AND even the taste on men! I couldn't help flirting with the cute japanese waitors in restaurants XDDD and didn't even realise i was doing it XDDD.
