Well, for a start, I did wake up at about 6am when all the people who'd been at the college May Ball started coming back to their rooms in order to get some sleep. A friend of mine who lives in the main part of college was also staying in my room for the night (college was locked at about 6pm to all but ball-goers, thus she wanted to get out so that she wasn't just trapped in her room once the piss-up - sorry, festivities - started).
I've also been working for one of the photographic companies again this year - instead of processing photos overnight, though, I've been sitting behind a table for three hours and handing people mounted photos, and hauling stuff around for half-hours here and there. Nothing too bad, just oddly energy-sapping.
In better news, my copy of Tokimeki Memorial 3 got here. For those who've not heard of it, the page here is just about the only English one I've been able to find.
Yes, it is a Japanese dating sim, and the third in a series of fairly well-known ones there [1]; no, I can't understand most of it; yes, it is actually simply a dating sim and features no nakedness whatsoever; and yes, I am a girl, and one who has had a fair amount of male friends make amused comments that they wouldn't have expected the girl of the group to be the one to buy a dating sim...
That's my monthly semi-colon abuse out of the way. Now to summon up the courage to actually play the game in the TV room on this part of the campus, where anyone can walk in and see me trying to make small-talk with a Japanese girl I can barely understand.
[1] Actually, it's the fourth - the previous one was called "Tokimeki Memorial - Girl's Side" and the player character was a girl trying to get a boyfriend. Having seen the character designs for the boys, though, I feel almost no inclination to play it.
