maaru | Bleach 267 and a bit of real life

Papers, organization stuff, and the evil that is bleach chapter 267

Well, my hell week is coming up, and despite that fact, people managed to make me run for Property committee head in the org, which I have the foggiest idea of what its about. I'll just cross my fingers and hope that people abstain. I'm more of a foot soldier when doing stuff. Or I make slave boys of my committee. v_v well, the only thing I could offer is an upgrade for our manga collection. XD

As for hell week, I have three exams, one presentation, one paper and a entire linguistic map to complete starting from today to friday. Another thing to cross fingers for. There's a certain subject where I'm sure that I'll fail, with a 90% chance probability just because I have an insecure, power-obsessed professor who simply wants me to fall at his feet and beg for -- well, probably forgiveness or something, which I see no reason to. But then, if one student annoys you in class, it doesn't seem ethical to take it out on the ENTIRE class, by submitting them to humiliation. Every class. And the one thing that I did was DOODLE in my notebook. What kind of professor are you if you torture an entire class for a semester, assure the majority of them a failing grade because you caught a single student doodling tiny nonsense in her notebook out of boredom? I've pretty much calculated that it won't hurt my status much if I fail, but I feel a bit sorry for the other students. Whoever you are, dear professor, I hope you find the satisfaction worth it. But I wonder what kind of person you are for finding reassurance with what you do.

I'm actually having fun with my paper, a Linguistic Survey of my hometown, because the socio-linguistic aspects are amusing. The way my mother and her relatives speak, constantly disguised in a satirical, metaphor-bloated fashion, is going to add a lot of oomph to an otherwise bland paper, because there's barely any linguistic diversity in the place. But I'd better hurry before I end up cramming.

Bleach 267 scared me for an entire morning, but after the 'shock' over the idea that Rukia may/possibly actually die, I keep thinking that Kubo won't. A lot of interconnected relationships are going to get out of kilter, even my OTP, Ichigo/Orihime. Although Kubo CAN do it, I hope he doesn't kill Rukia, she's too important. And one thing keeps coming up in my head: ORIHIMEEEEEEE!!!! You better show up and rescue your damsel-in-distress!!! v_v She seems the perfect one for the job. Just get her out of Aroniro's domain and patch up those holes. I demand some Orihime/Rukia fanservice. And other than that, the tentacles make my stomach gurgle. Damn, that thing's ugly. But we might have another twist (again?!) in the next chapter.
