Is this just me?

My reactions generally turn out to be rants because why not?

I have a really big problem with people using the wrong terms for certain things, especially if it is something that interests me and I am very passionate about, so passionate that I get really hostile towards people.

My one true problem is when people use the term manga for a non-Japanese graphic novels, I have seen this used several times especially on websites for publishing houses, online book shopping and book discussion websites. And it annoys me to the point where I just want to slap them in the face with an actual book, a really heavy hardback book! I know that there are some graphic novels that try and take on the manga style. but manga is a comic created in Japan, by a Japanese artist in the Japanese language adapted from a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. 

It would be like saying that a Marvel Comic book is the same as the Twilight graphic novel or the Walking dead comic book, the fans know the difference why can't other people do the same with Manga?

Vice-versa manga sometimes getting classed as Graphic Novels and Comic Books it is not the same!

It is the same with Anime, for example there is a 3D children show on Netflix called RWBY which my 10 year old younger sister has been watching, she knows all about Anime and Manga, she even did a PowerPoint presentation at school about it, but she is under the impression like so many others that it is Anime. It is NOT Anime, Anime is Japanese Animation it follows the same criteria as Manga, RWBY was created by an American Company, it is influenced by western views therefore it is not Anime, it doesn't matter if they adapt the Anime characteristics it will probably never be classed as Anime by Anime fans, it is a cartoon made for American children in America

The same with Avatar and Legend of Korra, many people do consider it to be Anime because of it's heavily influenced style but yet again it is not Anime because of who the target audience is and where it was produced, many fans still debate whether on not it can be considered so but the majority vote would be that no it is not Anime.

Learn the Difference you fool!

For those who wish to further their knowledge about what would generally be accepted as an actual anime you can read up about it here http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=141101

Cześć Poland!

From the 5th to the 7th of February, 2015 I traveled to Krakow for a short, experience type of trip thing, a short break away from the stress of University and everyday life.

I found it to be a very eye opening experience, especially at Auschwitz, I had always known it was going to be a very hard day to get through, but I refused to cry instead I thought about what those prisoners went through.
It snowed on the day at Auschwitz, to say it was cold would be an understatement, it was truly freezing. The first camp didn't even look like a death camp, because it was so well kept it was hard to believe what went on, there were some points where I felt so overwhelmed I felt sick, seeing the possessions of the victims of that horrible place really made upset, especially the hair. out of respect I didn't take any photos of the possessions because that would make me feel like an awful human being  but the memory alone was enough to never leave my mind.

The Entrance to the first camp. 

We went onto the second camp that same day, the atmosphere instantly dropped when I got of the bus, this was a place where you could feel death, the place was so quiet it was haunting. There was hardly anything left of the second camp, there had been a flood there the previous year and because the buildings were so fragile they had to be held up by large foundations. we were not able to enter through the main section because it was the week after the memorial and they were still taking things down but it didn't matter because going through one entrance or another it was still the same place and nothing could change that.
As we walked along the path, the same path those prisoners took all them years ago, I could feel the sickness again, it was the same sick feeling looking at the possessions, as we looked at what was left of the gas chambers covered by the snow the sign that was just in front of it suddenly moved, it was heart-stopping, there was no wind, just snow.
The last place we visited was one of the buildings used to hold the victims, it was cramped, cold and damp, it was no place to hold people, it was more like a chicken coop. There were markings on the walls, initials and names, most likely from the people that were there.

At the second camp in Birkenau.

When we arrived back to the hotel, my auntie phoned my mum, I knew that if I would have spoken to her I would have cried, not once did my auntie ask if I was OK and I was thankful for that, I'm too obvious with how I feel it shows on my face and to be asked it I was alright would have set me off and I think if I would have cried I never would have stopped. We went into the town, we got lost and thank the holy heaven a nun was there, she pointed us in the right direction and only 10 minutes later we were in the center, there were so many side streets one after another, it was like a maze of discoveries, everywhere was beautiful.

Krakow center,

The next day it was another get up early and go type of day, we went to the salt mines, they were beautiful especially the church in the mines.
We had to walk down 50 flights of stairs, it would have been awful to walk back up them especially since walking down them was so dizzying.
I could not believe that we were so far underground, it was magical to look at, the water was very pretty, you didn't know where it started and where it ended, apparently the water was very deep but it looked so shallow but it was 100% salt and you could neither swim in it nor drown in it.
We found out that the church was actually being used, it could hold weddings and there was even a mass on Sunday's, there was even a grand light show.

Literally everything was made out of salt.

I will always remember Poland as both a magical and eye-opening experience, I hope to visit again in the future and stay for much longer it was a trip I would recommend to anyone.
(I hope I don't offend anyone. If I have please let me know)

First post has to be a rant of course

Helloo~

This is my first post but it will be more of a rant because I am so mad right now!

I'm really having problems at Uni, I've looked past so many things about the course; the teachers not turning up on time, not really giving much input and telling me where I went wrong, the course not giving me a clear path of where it may lead to. Things like that I can get over.

BUT!

What I cannot get over is asking for help and never receiving it, I understand that at Uni you are supposed to do independent learning but sometimes you cannot find the answer yourself and when your whole class is kind of at a stand still at the same point you need your teachers input.

I asked for the help a week ago, and I do understand that teachers are busy too but, here I am still none the wiser and my work has to be in soon.

Things like this really make me want to cry, but as always I will have to push on and try to do the work as best as I can.

Don't give up students lets all cry together when this is over!!
