You know it! It's always exciting when it comes to going back to school. There is this excitement just before the school starts when you feel like there is a serious need to get some stuff necessary for school. Well, I just got back from a book/stationery store Gramedia to get my school stuff.
Here they are:
(Hint: there are a couple of cute stuff!)
Notebooks.
It was a little tricky to find the right notebooks that I wanted in the store even though I had had the imagination of what type of notebook would be perfect for me. I wanted spiral un-additionable notebooks. I wanted thin, simple, yet very interesting. I wanted to make sure that when I opened the noted book I would not get bored of reading my note so quickly.
Here they are. I got six notebooks because this semester I have six lectures. I wish they came with more choices of colors, though. They feel great in my hand. Not too big or too small.
Document file case.
There are a lot of options of file case out there. I remember using a very similar one back during my undergraduate. And, I liked it.
It's a hard case type with two snappers on one side and a sorta clipper in the inside, instead of a thin envelope felt and shaped like file case -which I think would be a waste after a few months of use. They don't last long.
Pens. Highlight. Type-ex. Ruler. Sticky notes
Here they are.
I got two different pens. One is a 0.3mm pointed. The other one is, I think, a set of standard 0.5mm colored pens. I also got a 15cm ruler which, I think, is super convenient for its mini size.
Agenda.
I've never had a proper agenda book before. I do use my iPhone as a sorta agenda. Or, I would write down what I wanted/needed to do the next day in a piece of paper.
So, I got one. It was also quite tricky to find it because most of the agendas they had were more notes, addresses, and diary oriented. I'm glad I finally found one that I needed although it was a little pricey and over my expectation. I'll make best use of it. It should help me become more organized.
BTW, I like it that it's pretty compact so that I can carry it in my bag all the time and take it out in the class without getting so much attention for it looking like a notebook.
Cool pencil case.
This is really cute.
So, it is made of jeans like fabric. Even the color is like blue jeans. It's super practical for its skinny and just-right size. Everything fits in the case including all the pens, highlight, type-ex, and ruler. And, if you noticed, there is that dog metal badge sort of thing. There are actually three difference choices of color. A black one would have a cat badge. A brown one would have a bird badge.
Even cooler!
This is a pen that is called iPen! Just check it out!
You know what I'm sayin'?! Gotta get it. And, it also happens to be 0.3mm. I don't really fancy using 0.5mm pens -that's why.
SUPER UBER cute Hair Man Plant.
This is beyond what I expected to see in the store.
It's literally a plant on a man's hair. It's grass, real growing grass. So, the instruction says to take out the seeded bag out of the man's head and soak in water for an hour, put the bag in, water it everyday, and in 4-8 days the grass should grow. How freaking COOL is that!?! ;))
There were other "mans" with a kid on his back, with his girlfriend kissing, and with his partner laying next to each other. You probably have seen such decorative living thing before. I just haven't!
Done.
Okay, that was all it. I will have two classes tomorrow and will start using most of the items that I bought this evening.
You have a good night sleep or great day ahead!
Nite nite.

Tomorrow is the last Japanese class and also the final exam. I will try to take time to study as much as I can tonight after refreshing and cleansing shower and before bed. Bad news is I don't think I will continue on taking the Second Grade. I really need to focus on my study and work. Besides, I normally have other things to do to keep my busy when I'm not busy. Do simple things like doing a room decor -as some of you know it. |

I finally replaced my painting with a cutout letter R shaped dalmatian fabric I use as my rug. |

You sure are very organized.:)
ReplyDeleteI try! :D
DeleteGood luck on your Japanese test!
ReplyDeleteYou taking the JLPT?
Thanks!
DeleteIf JLPT is equivalent to TOEFL for English, no I'm not taking it. I don't think I'm that good at the stage where I am right now.
JLPT - Japanese Language Proficiency Test. There are different levels- Level 5 to test simple language ability and Level 1 equals to advance Japanese language skill akin to native speakers ability.
DeleteMost studying for JLPT that I know took Level 4 and skipped Level 5 as it is rather "easy and basic".
Oh! I will ask the sensei about it. Thanks for the info! :D
Deletehaha, so you are really excited to go back to school huh?? and you've get yourself so well prepared with the whole set of stationery!! that's impressive!!! i just bring along a folder (to put my notes) and a pen with me~~ :p
ReplyDeleteI think I should try to keep myself excited during the whole study time because I have a feeling it is going to be challenging for me! Yikes!

DeleteOh! You're starting to paint on your wall? I hope you will share a photo of the final result :D
DeleteYou look like you're all set to go, Rad. I hope school goes well for you. The hair man made me laugh a little. It will be fun to see it grow, I bet. I like your dalmatian "R." That's a cool idea. :-)
