PAU!

Of all the Hawaiian words I now know, I think pau is the one I use most often, especially after being around some of the girls I work with who have pretty awesome accents.
I realized yesterday that I will probably get home and say things that no one else will understand. Oh well.

Pau means done, although I'm not taking Hawaiian yet so no one has actually explained this to me. The first time I saw it was my Linguistics teacher's 'pau!' sign for our presentations (which she needs when classmates go over 20 minutes on 8 minute presentations), and this semester I've heard tons of people use it, so it has rubbed off on me. I like it. It's a good word. And you can say things like... pau with school!!

Okay, tomorrow's the last day of classes, but aside from finishing up the last touches on my history journals and phonology presentation I am DONE with all of my hard homework!!
Today was our Japanese progress interview, which considering that I was VERY tired and didn't get much chance to practice went rather well. I got two topics on goats and sheep and one more that I forgot halfway through, but then got a chance to explain rather confusedly that no, I don't really want to be an English teacher in Japan, at least, that's not why I'm in this major, I don't really know WHAT I want to do but I want to intern with LABO, which is sort of like being a teacher but it isn't, really.... all in Japanese.

And then there was an Aquaculture final/test that I think I did rather poorly on, but I got an A on my species synopsis that I nearly died over, and I did study very hard when I could, just... not the right things.

I really like my Aquaculture teacher and the other students, though. It was a super fun class. I'm very sad that I can't take animal science next semester.

I am looking forward to sleeping a lot this weekend. Finals, what finals?
