[May 22, 2010 @ 11:56pm] [ mood | aggravated ] I very nearly have my end up term project finished. I just have a bit more work to do on it before I turn it in and then I get to wait until my grades come back. Of course, I’m not really worried about my grades, all I have to do is decide if I want to take some summer courses or just allow myself a break from lessons until next term. So the question is: do I want to end up working sooner or later in life? Mhn. …Actually I think I should sleep for the time being. I’ve had an on-growing headache thank you Ryuk [deleted] since earlier this evening, so rest is probably the best course of action for now. Zero will have to wait for his walk until tomorrow morning.

[May 17, 2010 @ 9:26pm] [ mood | indifferent ] It’s amusing, really. By this time of the earth’s lifetime, I had expected there to be so many less criminals in the world today. Just what is the curiosity with doing things that are unjust with the law? Why it is that mankind has a lust for doing things that they shouldn’t do, I don’t think that I can answer: sad, I wish I could, really. It’s disturbing to see so many people being punished and put behind bars. If that’s what it’s like now I have to wonder about the years to come. Will they be greater in number, lesser? Who is to say and who can know — no one has the ability to tell something like that for our future, after all, and anyone who says they do is most likely a crook themselves. I’d like to think that it will be less, far far less than it is now. In fact, I know it will. People will eventually come to realize that crime meets punishment and punishment is just as boring as a life with no crime in it. After all, it’s usually the excitement of a crime that leads to it being done, or so my teachers like to think [deleted] tell me. So then, how do you know who to trust — who really is good and who really is bad? I’m sure that everyone, at some point in their lives, did something bad or felt something bad, maybe just said they would do something bad — but does that really make them bad? Just the thought, want, or mention of doing something without doing it, does it mean someone is capable of something they mentioned or thought about doing but didn’t? The thought alone, does it make you a criminal of the mind, or not? Who knows? In the meantime, I have a date to get ready for. So I should do that. Comment

[May 08, 2010 @ 4:51pm] [ mood | bored ] The week in the lab went alright. I had enough fun with it, at least. Although some things weren’t up to my standards, and I wasn’t allowed to pick my own study, but things went well enough. Maybe next time I’ll get to research what I want and be done with it. Or perhaps I can ask for some lab time. And maybe then I’ll dissect a Shinigami, Ryuk. [deleted] As far as I know, people are allowed in there with express permission from the teachers. That said, I have some homework to finish up on and finals to prepare for. I might look into some classes over the summer, too. Otherwise, I might have absolutely nothing to do, and I would hate to get bored. Comment

[May 01, 2010 @ 10:12pm] [ mood | calm ] Apparently I’ll be scheduled for some time alone in the lab this upcoming week, which should prove to be interesting. Of course, I’ve been there a number of times throughout the semester, just never alone. I guess this is one of those moments where one needs to prove to their teacher that they can do it by themselves. This means that I get to spend all day tomorrow working on how to dissect a Shinigami [deleted] figuring out what I’ll do as my lab work for the week, unless he has some assignment — but that didn’t seem to be the case. Whatever, I’ll see. For now, then, I think it’s time to finish off the rest of my law homework, then crash. Comment

[April 17, 2010 @ 3:33am] [ mood | pensive ] I wish I could say I spent this week reading more than I ever have before, but that would be a downright lie. It’s funny that this place never seems to fill my time as much as studying back home did. Lately I find myself surprised at how quickly the pile of books and papers are put to rest from the week’s homework load, I guess there just isn’t as much to this school as my previous one had — or there just isn’t as much pressure. Either way, sometimes it’s a bit… Disturbing… all things considered, though, I think I’m alright with this change in homework influx. After all, one can always use more time to work on their hobbies.

[March 24, 2010 @ 8:32pm] [ mood | bored ] I never thought that I would be getting tired of taking classes so there really is a first time for everything. I think I just got spoiled on the March break and don’t feel like getting back to school work. I’m sure it will pass pretty swiftly, it usually does, but when one gets a break one does rather enjoy it. Certainly gave me a bit more time to continue the purge. [deleted] Maybe I’ll just take the rest of the night off from required reading, it’s not like I don’t already know all of this anyway, dad did teach me quite a bit about it when I first told him I was interested in the force like him. Besides, I have a few other things I’d rather be doing, anyway. Comment

[February 12, 2010 @ 11:07pm] [ mood | drained ] ( private ) I’m getting tired; maybe I’ve been studying too hard. But there is a lot of work I’ve been given, either way I’m sure the weekend is just what I need to stop feeling so groggy and the like. Well then, I had better finish up my work and then hit the hay. Going to have to make a good, long list for the grocery store tomorrow too. Comment

[February 03, 2010 @ 5:43pm] [ mood | bored ] ( private ) So, even though I was there you still seemed to be quite a bit afraid of Dexter, Honey. It’s not that bad, really, just try not to think about it being anywhere near ‘real’ and you should be fine. I’m assuming, though, that you were more calm than you had been when you and Usa-chan watched by yourselves? If you’d like, we can watch Criminal Minds together too. It might help you to have someone else there during that show, too. I think I’ve finished all my homework for the night, so after watching a bit of the news I’ll just turn in. Read (8) Comment

[January 27, 2010 @ 9:08pm] [ mood | listless ] ( private ) I hope that you’re feeling better soon Paprika, I hate to see you looking like you’re in that much pain and discomfort. Let me know if there’s something else you need, alright? Ugh, what the hell was that about? Didn’t I just… [deleted] I’ll swing by later anyway, just in case, after I walk the dog. I think that I’ll bring my own work this time. There’s nothing due all that soon, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start working on some of this stuff. Oh, the trip to the forensics offices was pretty informative. I rather enjoyed it. Read (12) Comment

[January 20, 2010 @ 11:24am] [ mood | calm ] ( private / unhackable ) Apparently my forensics class will be going on a class trip Friday afternoon to an actual police department’s forensic science lab to see what it’s like there and what sorts of methods they use in their everyday occurrences on the job, etc. I think it sounds like it could be interesting, provided we talk to the right people there and witness some rather impressive things otherwise it’ll just be a boring trip from class that isn’t really worth much of anything. Here’s hoping that it won’t be too bad. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to bring just yet, either the professor is going to tell us when we regroup in class later, or tomorrow because otherwise we’ll be unprepared for it and that would look badly on the school, wouldn’t it? I suppose I should finish my lunch and then get a bit of homework done before the rest of my afternoon classes. You know it’s amazing how utterly boring lunch can be without someone to talk to. Granted, it lets me catch up on news reports and the like and maybe catch up on a bit of class reading, but it’s still rather dull and uneventful. Maybe tomorrow we could share lunch, Paprika, if you’re not too busy? Read (4) Comment

[January 13, 2010 @ 9:15pm] [ mood | grumpy ] ( private ) I’m amazed with how many show-offs and idiots are in my classes that haven’t got anything to do with paperwork or reading anything. Waving guns around like they’re toy pistols has got to be the most juvenile and dangerous thing one can see in both males and females alike. Since when has gun toting been the most attractive quality that a person can have in the first place? Not only that, but people who think they can throw a mean punch just because they get one over the instructor once or twice shouldn’t think that automatically makes them a professional in hand to hand combat. I can’t even count home many times these guys left the classroom already and it’s only, what, day three of classes for me? This is ridiculous. Since when am I in classes with buffoons? At least more of them than before, anyway. [deleted] For the first time in a long time, I just want it to be the weekend. I’d much rather watch TV all day and laze about then listen to idiotic people in my classes think they’re ‘the man’ because they know how to properly hold a gun or can throw a decent punch from time to time. Tch. These are the kind of people who won’t be making it in my utopia. The world can do without those of lesser intelligence. [deleted] I’m just going to get to my homework. At least that will keep me from thinking about certain things. Comment

[January 05, 2010 @ 7:12pm] [ mood | bored ] With no classes just yet, I’ve busied myself reading books from the library. A guy’s got to do something to pass the time, after all, and walking a dog only goes so far before it’s entirely too dull. I suppose looking into music to make said walks more interesting would be something to check out, maybe I’ll get one of those iPod things that students in my classes have been going on about, whatever. I’ll see sooner or later, depends on if I have anything to fill it with, which is highly unlikely. And no Ryuk, there will be no Disney music on there. [deleted] That said, I’ve been reading Animal Farm. It’s not the first time I’ve read it, but a good read always deserves another look at things, new perspectives and the like once one grows older from the first go at reading. It’s never stopped being interesting, though. I must say that I can really appreciate it somewhat more than before, though, having a bit of a new aspect on it, not to mention I understand it quite a bit more this go around than I did when I was younger and read it. Maybe I’ll be that much bigger of a geek and go back to read all the books I did while in school? We’ll see. Depends on how bored I am. Read (9) Comment

[December 07, 2009 @ 8:40pm] [ mood | well shit. ] ( private ) Well. That could be bad. Let’s hope not. ( private / paprika ) Read (10) Comment

[November 21, 2009 @ 1:56pm] [ mood | bored ] I can’t believe how slow the end of this semester seems to be going. Maybe it’s caused from boredom in class. Ever since I got the cast on it was rather irritating to deal with, after all. Now that it’s off, things haven’t really gotten all that much better. The doctors told me to lay off the hand to hand, so I’ve had to take things slow. Naturally, I agree with them 100% on the fact, but it doesn’t make for anything less boring. And of course, studying and note taking can only hold the interest for so long. The last report I handed in was an A, though. So that’s good. Not that I expected any less, honestly. There has to be something I can do that doesn’t involve sitting around watching the news. I could take the dog for a walk, but that’s getting dull, too. Not that he doesn’t need it… Sigh, maybe that’s what I’ll do. Oh, and I have to note that I’m supposed to go in for physical therapy on Monday. I suppose the wrist is something that needs tending to, but it’s not like it was out of commission for that long. I suppose the medical team is just doing their jobs, but it is a bit taxing. Mhn, oh well. This turned out to be a rather negative entry, didn’t it? Read (6) Comment

[October 15, 2009 @ 6:26pm] [ mood | aggravated ] Well damn. I can’t believe this. I thought I had that block, really. Luckily I’m not that horrible with one handed typing; actually this isn’t too bad at all, save a couple hundred times to hit the backspace and the fact that it’s infinitely slower than I’m used to with my typing speed. It could be worse, I could have to attempt voice compatibility software to speak what I’m trying to say and have the computer write it out for me. I don’t even want to think of how many typos something like that would produce, I’m getting frustrated at the thought of it and that’s not even what I’m doing to begin with! One handed shift + letters is kind of hard — I feel like a pianist who has to stretch their fingers in ways they should just never be stretched in. At least it was the left hand and not the right; that could have been rather awful for classes and taking notes. I suppose I got used to bringing in my laptop for those, though. Back to pen and pad for a while, until this bone mends itself anyway. A shame, really — I was going to take Zero out for a walk, too. Actually maybe I still can, after all he doesn’t tug the line all that badly and he’s just a tiny little thing. I suppose the struggle will be getting the leash onto his bite-sized collar. Oh well, I’m up for a challenge. Read (6) Comment

[September 30, 2009 @ 10:25pm] [ mood | calm ] ( private ) I should bring the dog for a walk or something, he’s been cooped up inside for a while now; I blame homework. He needs to get out and stretch his legs—even though they’re tiny little legs. Besides, I have some groceries to go pick up anyway and a movie to return, actually. Huh, I wonder how overdue this one is… I completely forgot about it. Whatever, it’s not like the late fee is going to kill me. After that I should go to the training area and get some practice in for my hand-to-hand class. Besides, that’s a good work out. Hm. Comment

[September 16, 2009 @ 8:58pm] [ mood | working ] My classes are going well, which isn’t much of a surprise to me, but they’re interesting and that’s what counts. At least I’m moving toward my goal, that’s all that matters. More than one would know. [deleted] I suppose this means I’ll be in college a few extra years to ensure that I get everything I need for what I’m looking forward to in life, but that’s perfectly fine with me—I really don’t mind the wait for a career if it means that I’ll be as prepared as I need to be. As far as the courses I’m taking involving book matter and actual study—they’re fine, nothing I can’t handle. Not to say the others are too difficult. They aren’t, they’re simply a touch more exhilarating than I’m used to. Reading in class all day is always fine, but something like hand-to-hand combat classes is a lot more of a workout. Exercising mind and body is something that needs to be done, I think, to be in top shape. The class is interesting, of course, but its more hands on—literally—and much more exhausting than I’m used to. Still, I enjoy it. Intermediate Firearms is also enjoyable, though not overly difficult just yet. I seem to be doing fine in the class and I would say that is because of the previous training from dad’s police headquarters with firearms. I know he didn’t really want me to get used to a weapon at those times, but it was necessary to help out. The basic course was too easy, though. This one should end up interesting in the end, though. I’m looking forward to what comes next. Hmn. I just realized that I haven’t had much time for her. I wonder if there might be some resentment for that; then again she seems busy herself. Still, I should probably tell her something along the lines of ‘I love you’—if only to keep up appearances. [deleted] But because of all this, I seem to be losing time for other important things—such as a certain someone in my life. Oh, and walking the dog of course, although that isn’t nearly as important as the former. Paprika, maybe we could do something together this weekend if you aren’t busy. Read (38) Comment

[August 27, 2009 @ 3:09pm] [ mood | bored ] The classes are interesting right now, hopefully they stay that way. I think that it would be beneficial to me for it to remain interesting but at the same time, become difficult. Thus far it’s not overly hard—but this is of course the beginning of the year. I’m not expecting it to be easy the whole time; I’ll be looking forward to the progression of the classes I’ve chosen. Paprika, when did you want to get together for the weekend? Read (4) Comment

[August 21, 2009 @ 3:15pm] [ mood | bored ] LAW 211: Criminal Law LAW 420: Model Penal Code PSY 501: Criminal Psychology FRS 102: Intermediate Forensic Science COM 203: Intermediate Hand to Hand COM 502: Intermediate Firearms Now is just as good a time as any to jot down my classes for me to remember. I figured that I might as well do this before I lose my schedule; not that I think that will happen but with Zero around, who knows. And that reminds me—Professor Russellburg, Bart—I hope that you don’t mind dogs. Zero might be excitable, but he’s not that bad to deal with. If he annoys you, give him an apple or something and he’ll be quiet. I can’t imagine that he’d be getting too hard to handle for the both of you, though. After all, he’s just a puppy. Hrm. I should think about getting some work done. I don’t want to slack off now, do I? ( private // paprika ) Read (3) Comment

[August 14, 2009 @ 2:02pm] [ mood | blah ] Too much to ask to be roomed alone, isn’t it? This means even more precautions. Damn it… I will never find packing and unpacking easy. So time consuming, then again I suppose it’s not like I have homework to busy myself with—although I do have to look into picking out my classes for the upcoming year. Criminology, I suppose. I’ll look into that once I’ve got all these boxes opened and put away. Again. Carnation South, then. Professor Russellberg, Bart—stay out of my room. It’s nice to meet you.
