Day 15

Another test?  I don't believe it; we just had one of these on Friday.  At least it didn't seem like too much of an ordeal, except for the speaking portion (the main reason I came, to learn how to better speak the language).  So again, the first half of the day was sort of boring, as I was just more or less waiting for lunch (because I was so hungry after the test).  Lunch again was incredibly tasty, as it was Shin san's famed (and inexpensive) taco rice.  I love it every week I get it, which will hopefully be about 8 more.

Later in the day, less boredom, but still class.  Again, and as usual, a review of what I had already learned, followed closely by a learning of completely new things (which pleasantly surprised me).  It's good that I'm only learning a few new things every week, because were it all new, I don't think I'd be able to keep up with it (my brain has not fully recovered from the second year at UChicago yet).

So, at lunch, Christian told me about his mistake yesterday, about how he looked at his schedule incorrectly and forgot when his private lesson was; however, he still did want to go to the arcade to play some DDR, which I ended up doing for the second day in a row.  Not the best thing for my legs (in terms of level of "pain"), but some pretty good exercise.  At the arcade, I managed to pass, for the first time, Max 300 on heavy.  I have passed it at home before, but that's somewhat easier, as the pads at the arcade have been "used very well", so to say.

So I got back from the arcade, and what did I have for dinner?  That's right, beef.  I "fried" (better to say "cooked in a pan with a small amount of oil") up the beef, cooked some rice, and enjoyed my meal at 10 p.m., all the while discussing the current state of affairs in the world with Sebastian at the dinner table.  Clean up of the meal took longer than usual, because I had to put things in containers, move things around, clean a large amount of dishes, and just get everything put away.  Then, homework, which took just a bit too much thought to do this late at night.  It would be better to just get it done after class while it's still fresh in your mind.

That's all, and here it is, you moment of zen.

Max 300, the original 10 footer of DDR.  Considered by many to be the toughest song in the game until the release of DDR extreme, but now pales in comparison to some of the more current 10 footers in the game.  For reference, search youtube for the charts of Max 300 (heavy), and PARANOiA -Hades- (challenge) and Pluto -Relinquish- (challenge).
