almost time for spring classes

so my entirely too long spring break is coming to a close and I am now looking at placement tests and class selection for spring semester...
I got my grades from fall today and they definitely could have been better...
I ended up with only a 3.53 with 8 a's and 7 b's...
the funny part is the class I took in English was one of those Bs... OOPS i guess I'm not as good at English as I should be... or I'm just more lazy doing english assignments in a class geared towards non-native speakers...

Looking at the schedule for next semester I have a few classes that I really want to take:
(te translation into english may be a bit odd)
("/"indicates same timeslot so one or the other)
intercultural communication/The Japanese Noh play
contemporary arts in Japan
Japanese Philosophy and Religion(eng)
Japanese Phil. and Rel. (Jse)
Japanese Literature/comparative studies of int'l cultures(e)
Business and management studies in Jpn(Jse/eng/ger)/Int'l business a(e)
tradition and culture of Japan
ikebana/arts in japan
japanese history 1
Japanese language seminar b
tradition and art of Japan/"history of histories"(?)/int'l business b
Jse culture1/History of the world (part)1
multicultural communication(fri evening near kyoto station)
sat: tradition and personality in Japan

(unless otherwise noted, these classes are in Japanese
and i of course cannot take them all seing as I am already taking 10 japanese classes)

in other news I found out yesterday that I have a kidney stone... which was aparent this morning when I was at school waiting on a friend in the lounge/watching Japan beat Korea in the baseball game and I suddenly felt a sharp back pain.

whelp time to study for my placement test!
