Home + Stressed.

Blech -- I have this overwhelming feeling of failure, and it don't feel too good.... blech.

But I'm back at home -- yay! But I need to get a lot done (boo), or else I'm pretty much screwed for the rest of the semester. So 4 papers to get out of the way, 3 finals to study for, several interviews to prepare for, experiments to finish, business to take care of. JEEZ, and I can't seem to end a clause without a preposition.

Anyway, one thing I've been really excited about is my dad's Mac. And it's been pretty distracting/awesome. It has a built in camera, so now I can video-chat with people at the moment. Yesterday I spoke with Bethany and Danny -- I haven't seen either of them in about a billion years (WHOA!). So that was very nice and made me very happy. Another nice thing about Macs is that they have dictionaries as a little application. So instead of flipping through to godforsaken dictionary that has print that's tinier than a germ, I installed the latin dictionary to help me translate the "Carmen Saeculare." And while I was doing that, I discovered that there was a Japanese-English dictionary too. So I typed in some words that I knew in Japanese, like 'mother' and 'happy' just to see if it really works. And then I tried 'delicious' because that's one I'm very familiar with (my mom cooks scrumptious food!). And the third entry was...

"3 美しい, 優美な
delicious breasts｜美しい乳房."

What is that even suppose to mean? My mom, who was sitting beside me, said that Japanese people really like boobies. Oh, well, ok.... I guess it's common enough in the Japanese culture to put it into the dictionary, much like how we put examples in our dictionary entires, such as "delicious home-baked brown bread" or even "a delicious irony."

Yeah, that's pretty gross. And I will spare you by not elaborating its egregiousness with a picture.
