what a way to break the silence

1- Bloody horrid advertising midterm today. Half the class came out convinced they would fail. And no wonder, half the stuff on it wasn't what she'd told us to study

2- Have to leave for work in about an hour. But, at least I have an hour. I usually get about 15 minutes on Tuesdays. (Have more time because I left school early because I finished my midterm...)

3- I have the awesomest boyfriend in the world. Period.

4- I've got some pretty kickass friends, too.

5- There were actually fare police on my bus today. In my 7 years of regularly taking public transit, I've never seen that happen before.

6- Ran into [livejournal.com profile] isamukun at school today, rather randomly. Then Liz dragged me away and accused me of being too cheerful.

7- WoW patches are damned slow. Holy. Fuck.

8- I know I've asked this before, but once again I'm having language bar issues. I can read Japanese, but it will not let me type it. What have I done wrong? Did I miss an install?

9- My depression finally broke. (Does it show?) Praise the gods. It happened sometime between studying for advertising and going to advertising class... ^^;

You need to configure your keyboard for japanese input. I am assuming you are using Windows XP, if not then well it should still be a very similar process:

Control Panel
Regional and Language Settings
Languages
Details
Then yuo want to "Add" and go through the pulldown until you find Japanese.

I'm sure you can figure the rest out from there. To be able to type in Japanese, normally what you do is press alt+shift, and then alt+ that button that has the ~ and ` on it. That brings up the thing that lets you type romaji and scroll through the combinations. If you press the alt+` combination again, it'll let you type in English. Then alt+shift again to return to totally English keyboard settings.

Was that confusing? There's a reason why I'm not ever going into tech support or teaching XD;

Sort of working. I have the language bar, but it's not letting me adjust the input method. I'll have to mess around with it after.

I'm glad your depression's edged off. ♥
