Yakitori

Is delicious. Dear god, I don't think that I can say that enough. The stuff is SO GOOD. I spent what would come out to 10 bucks on it today, and also some milk bread which is ALSO delicious. Though honestly, the only thing I'll miss about Japan is the food after I leave. So I should learn how to cook it ALL before I go. We shall see how well that works out.

Interesting times today. In Japanese class we had an "exchange session" that involves going into a larger classroom and combining with the intermediate English class. Then we hold conversations with these random people we really don't care about, assigned into groups of other random people that we don't care about. Super. First half of the class is all Japanese, second half is all English, but really the whole class was a messy mix of both. So uncoordinated.

That or none of us know how to speak the other language. That works too.

The girls I was paired up with were nice. I found out more people than I thought watch anime. Out of the foreigners at least. And my Japanese is a lot better than I thought it was too, so that's good. I've learned my American accent is confusing to all dem foreigners though. So I gotta put some tough emphasis on what I say. And I have to speak slower. So anybody who told you that foreigners won't understand you if you speak slower and louder was a liar! (note: Please don't take this at face value, you ignorant, moronic, jerks)

On the way back from classes I was stalked. Stalked I say! I was stopped by this group of three grade school kids to have a conversation with them for their homework. That's cool, fine, I don't mind talking to the kids if it's to help them out, right? So that's done. Oh wait, three more kids. Alright, I can do that. But then these two, I dunno, 9 years old? I can't tell ages of these Japanese people, they all look young. But yeah, these two girls literally just walked around me for something like 6 buildings, which is almost the entire length of the campus mind you. They were giggling and talking in Japanese at each other, and if I looked back at one of them they squirmed out of my view and ran to the other side. It was REALLY unnerving and I couldn't figure out why they were following me. All the other kids needed me to do some homework thing but these girls were just...following me around. Kinda odd. But I was stopped by another group of three boys (They travel in groups for some reason. Japanese are apparently pack animals. Americans are lone wolves. A-ooo), and then after that the girls finally came up and asked me to help with their homework. Which is like.... way to stalk me for a good 10 minutes instead of just saying something to get my attention. I know excuse me in Japanese, and you probably know it in English. So gyah. Wow.

Fell off the wagon and got some potato croquette too. Screw it, I love those things.

Watched more episodes of the OC with Fanxing. Rule seems to be two a night, so that's neat. I love that show. I know I sound like such a fruit for it, but I don't care. I'm planning to hate it during the next season because networks always have to pull something huge and dramatic that has nothing to do with the plot. Unless it's the suicide of the one guy that I'm expecting. I dunno. If anyone else is stupid enough to watch it, don't ruin anything for me.

He also got me to watch a Mr Bean short. I forgot how funny those were. And then he had me recite these song lyrics to him? I guess it was a song he really liked and he wanted to know how to pronounce everything right and what it all meant. That's cool.

Tomorrow I go to the onsen with Senjinkai. Yeah.... naked in front of a whole bunch of strangers in a hot tub. Should be umm....yeah. Something. Hopefully an enjoyable experience. This may or may not be dependant on how co-ed the hot springs are.

If I don't come back, tell my wife I said 'Hello'.
