If this course had a textbook, this would be its cover.At the beginning of every semester, I go through a weird phase where I vow to be friendlier in class. This lasts for about a week, because before long I'm cranky and fixating on the newest injustice the STM has rendered upon me. But McGill can be downright frosty, particularly in winter when the student body begins to sublimate the weather into their own being, so I'm making a particular effort this year, so I take it as my duty to temporarily inject some light.
I've met some good people that way, and probably made a few consider a restraining order. Today I engaged my seat buddy in my Introduction to Japanese Culture class. His name is Charles, and he seems very nice. He also seems very concerned about our midterm in that class.
And, come to think of it, I share that concern. Apparently it involves some kind of research and then, horrors, role playing. If we have to bring costumes, I'll seriously think about seppuku.

Oh, Japanese Culture class in McGill, never heard of it but I think the Japanese culture is definitely one of the richest in the world. Yeah it's good to be positive, especially in this shitty weather when everyone tend to get depressed. I just searched for 'seppuku' and this term rhyme with 'stomach-cutting' and suicide, and with images! Oh god, this is horrible, you weren't thinking about that, were you?
Ha, don't worry, I was only joking. Although we are watching a film called Seppuku later on in class. It better not be a how-to film...
