How to Know if You Have a Runa in Your Home.

(this post is a little nonsensical, but play along?)

~ If books of varying sizes, genres, and authors make their way into your bathroom, you may have a Runa in your home.

~ If you feel alternating 'affectionate pats' and 'aggressive pats' anywhere along your body, you may have a Runa.

~ If sometimes dinner appears healthy and fresh on the table, you might have a Runa.

~ If breakfast usually consists of oatmeal and/or miso soup: you might have a Runa.

~ If your bed is spontaneously made on occasion, you might have a Runa.

~ If all shoes are migrated to the front door, you might have a Runa.

~ If your internet is randomly being taken, you might have a Runa.

~ If strange music and/or videos find their way onto your computer and/or playlist, you might have a Runa.

~ If you find yourself pounced on, used as a blanket, or used as a mattress: you might have a Runa.

~ If sometimes you go to bed with the house dirty, and wake up with the house clean, you may have a Runa infestation.

If you think you have a Runa infestation, fear not! You can draw her out with crackers, soup, and grape juice (not necessarily at the same time). If you treat her carefully, she will eventually begin to shower you with affection and treats. When you have had enough, just call her owner/bf to come and retrieve her. If you attempt to get rid of her on your own, or (*gasp*) yell at her, the repercussions may include: juvenile pranks, waking with a knife hovering over you or laying beside you, abrupt loss of hot water, and/or an eerie silence throughout the area that makes you feel very cornered.

So remember: If you find yourself with a Runa infestation, treat her with care, and she will eventually find her way home. And if you can't wait for that, simply call her beloved 'owner' to recover her.

Now on a more serious note:

I am doing well, but I have bad/good news. I was rejected by JET, so I will not likely be going to Japan this year. I am however, being encouraged to look for other routes, so I may make my way there via other routes.
I'm sore and tired all the time thanks to my PE classes. Water Aerobics really takes it out of you~!
I'm considering changing all of my classes to Pass/Fail so that I won't be stressed about getting a good letter grade.  I have to check with my adviser first before I attempt to change any of them though.

That's all for now.
