neko's thinkbox

Me on the left, my bad conscience on the right.

Well, this time I’m too pissed to show a picture of the package. No, still no anime, I’ve been hanging on ARIA and I still need to watch Spice 04, Okawari, etc. Anyway so I got my Grado RS-60 headphones, and they’re currently turning me into an audiophile. This said, I have quite some angering news concerning myself.

Well, first off, here’s a picture of these new headphones, not really high-end, but still good enough to BAWWWWWW at music. But even so I will never have flac/ape/tta/wav on my comp, they are NOT worth the space wasted.

Grado RS-60: Cheap audiophile material. Definitely a recommendation.

So. What could there be to annoy this incredibly patient (sic) neko? Well, bluntly said, some recent fuck-ups totally screwed up my whole week. So I was studying all week for my final exam, an oral exam, which I thought was to take place on Thursday. Wednesday evening, some friends ask me how it went on the exam – you guessed right, it was on WEDNESDAY MORNING. Go me!

Well, I sent the teacher a mail and we agreed to report it to Friday at noon. So, I wake up early, etc, then think it might be safe if I just went a bit earlier to catch the bus to the train station today. Guess what, it was 10 minutes late. Right, I missed the first train. Usually, I would arrive about 45 minutes early, and since there is a train to the capital every hour ONLY, I was to arrive 15 minutes late. Luckily, another class before me wasn’t finished yet, so I managed to arrive in time. I won’t get into detail, but I royally screwed it up and will have to retake the exam in June nevertheless. Guess all that shit before fucked up my brain, or so. Or I was simply not well prepared, lol.

I rock. And ALL of these people agree.

Either way, I arrive home as usual, none of the last packages of my January haul arrived yet, so I went back into my kingdom (read: my room) like a hikkikomori, and started sorting music and what-not – procrastinating as always. A few minutes ago, friends of mine message me on msn. Those friends were the two people who also took that one exam for the scholarship to Japan last August. And they told me, the Japanese Embassy finally replied to them – both of them got the scholarship!

ZOMGWTF. Why didn’t they call me? Actually, they did. This morning at 10 am. BUT SINCE I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKING THE FAILED EXAM IN LUXEMBOURG, I COULDN’T ANSWER THE PHONE!!! However, they did leave a message: I should call them back at this phone number. Now I need to wait until Monday to know the results.
If I hadn’t missed the exam, I would have been at home this morning to answer the phone. I usually am not superstitious, but that must have been a bad omen, no? I really start doubting, because everything that could have gone wrong this week went wrong… is that why I will only know the results next week????

…Will I get the scholarship or not??? Knowing that the two others got it MAKES ME SO…. RAAAAAAWWWWWWRRR DAMMIT!
