In class we had been talking about Robots in Japan, and this actually lasted about 2 and half weeks worth of information. Also, Yuki-sensei was ill at the time so we took a little extra time to learn about them.
We then had to come up with an idea about Robots that were useful and could potentially be useful to us in Japan.
I came up with the ポッケト友だち：じてんエーアボ, the Pocket Friend: Bike Pumpbot
It could come with one of 4 different styles and faces, and worked as a bicycle tire air pump, included some built in automatic bike tools, a manual button, a lock switch for the button and voice commands. It also danced and came with a laser projected interface to set it's options, digital planner, alarm clock, and other digital features. All while being small enough to fit between the spokes of a bike tire. It could also talk to you, walk, and dance.
I was trying to learn some terms for bicycles in Japanese as well in order to learn more and write some of the things related to it down.

However, I wasn't sure how accurate this was, but it seemed pretty accurate.

An Entry
I have not been doing well in class, I got sick the first week of classes and it took me a full two week to try and recover. I missed breathing at the time.
Then I just honestly well out of any study habit I had. I'm not going to make excuses, and I know I need to be a more tentative student. I've just been trying to at least go to class and for some reason thats really hard for me. I've also a little more self-aware than I was a few months ago, when I started to simply slip up in a couple classes, and that self awareness made me realize some of the problems I have with studying, and why my short term to long term memory is really hazy. I remember doing things, but not how I do them or where.
SO. THE BLOGS. I need to catch up and I need to get started somewhere. So I'm just going to start here. I have.... 7 blogs to catch up on now properly and I need to keep a schedule. So Mondays will be the days I write my blogs since it matches up with other times that I have to do more... responsible things and it'll seem to keep my attention.
STEP 1: Schedule
STEP 2: Work
STEP 3: Auto-maitence
STEP 4: Study
STEP 5: Sleep
STEP 6: Study
