Sorry, Penn, but you'd already logged off by the time I logged on.

So... would anyone happen to know what international studies/relations is in college? I've had several people tell me that I should study it, but none of them have been able to tell me anything to satisfy me when I ask what it is and why confused

I was going to say something, but I forgot. Quite a few people I know like to make wishes at 11:11 for some reason.

I always giggle a lot when it gets to 10:24. And 5:12. And 2:56. And 1:28.

24 Hour clocks also gift me with 20:48.

Write to exams? Do they like letters? Are you writing letters to your exams? Isn't that weird? I mean, who writes letters to their exams? They aren't even people and don't possess the ability to read. In fact, they probably don't even exist yet unless the professor is really working ahead of time or is reusing a test from previous years. So where would those letters even go? What would the postman do in this situation? He can't just simply deliver the mail to the exam. That doesn't make any sense. Maybe he can hand the letters addressed to the exams to the appropriate professors who are going to be writing them up, but then the professors would be burdened with those strange letters. If the professors opened the letters, would that be a crime? The letters aren't addressed to them, but to the exams. Maybe if the court views the exams as children, it's okay. And they can live life without having to experience the cold embrace of jail. I think prisoners like receiving letters. They're so lonely just hanging out with other criminals. Hopefully all of them are guilty because if someone is innocent and in jail with an unfriendly roommate, I can only imagine the uncomfortable atmosphere. Maybe they should start up programs in prison about how to get along with others. That would be good, if they just started having knitting classes together or if they went around as a supervised group erecting parks of wonder and joy. Parks are great places to hang out. You have trees, grass, playgrounds, and if you're lucky, basketball courts, skate parks, tennis courts, and other kinds of sports-related facilities. And restrooms, we can't forget restrooms. Restrooms are important places for people to relax and cleanse themselves of any problems with their inner being. That's why restrooms should be maintained well and be kept clean. Dirty restrooms don't do anyone any good. They can only inspire fear with the dirt, grime, and bacteria. We can't have that kind of sacred place turn into something scary and unwelcoming. We should write to the city and ask them to please keep our public restrooms clean for us. Speaking of writing, writing to exams is just silly. They can't even read.

Something I learned early on in Japanese class: bathroom and temple sound very similar. The kanji are different, but... we haven't learned them yet, so we write in kana. おてあらい is bathroom and おてら is temple.
Japanese has also lead me to make some very horrible mistakes involving women. I accidentally said I wanted to use and old woman instead of help her one day, and just recently I tried to buy an 18 year-old girl instead of write to her... Ah well.

Gaia works again, yay.
Now to learn about American history, which... Meh, at least I'm almost done with the class.

One of my French profs got flustered and she said, "Hier soir, j'ai mangé une belle femme." instead of "pomme".

biggrin Always good to know that your teacher ate a beautiful woman the night before.

My ex is a translator (well, flight attendant now, but that's a whole 'nother story), and he was working English-to-German translations for a forklift company, and *just about* sent off "pig thrower" instead of headlight. (He caught the mistake in the manual in his last proof before the printer)

I just googled it, and they are surprisingly close.

razz Sorry for the confusion, Jaft... I definitely meant to say "two exams"

But on the note of mistranslations, I had a teacher back in junior high with a really thick french accent, and she used to ask us "do you have happiness?" but with the accent, it always came out as "do you have a p***s?" Needless to say, being the immature bunch we were, we got a kick out of that.

... I didn't think you meant the number two. I thought you left some words out.

I want a pig thrower =x

Oh, and I was mistaken for a man for a second earlier tonight. That's two weekends in a row that I've been a man! biggrin
Yes, Penn's teacher, I apparently have a p***s xp

Jaft: Nope, I definitely meant two. xD What else could I have meant?

Lobo: Oh yeah. we all have penises.
