Day 24

Ahh, Friday once again.  Time for shortened classes, laundry, and planning what to do over the weekend.  Or, at least, find a way to spend less money than I did last week in Tokyo O_o.  I could always take advantage of the R4 and never really have to purchase another game for my DS (just, of course, delete the rom when I'm done), but that's only a start.  I'm thinking too hard about this.

The middle of a module (2 week class period) always feels sort of weird, especially directly following a test.  You know that your performance on the test wasn't the most important thing in the world, but could determine whether or not you'll be forced to repeat this class.  I, as I sort of expected, am far from that boat and instead am doing quite well in class.  My average on the written portion is around a 93% and on the speaking is around an 86%.  I could be doing better, but some of this stuff just requires practice speaking to the senseis and learning what they want to hear.  Luckily we keep the same senseis throughout our time here, so that should eventually prove to be no problem.  But I'm just rambling again.

Lunch: as always, bento from Kitsutsuki.  Cheap, tasty, convenient.  I really can't see why people get food from anywhere else, as the bento at Kitsutsuki are even better than what they offer at the local supermarket.  Plus, I don't enjoy daily grocery shopping for just one meal.  I prefer to get it all done at once, so that way I don't have to continually go back and create more waste (in the form of paper or plastic bags).

Afternoon was your standard issue Friday afternoon for me; laundry, homework, lazing around.  Quite a bit less of that last one, though, as I met up with another group for karaoke at 8 p.m.  I sang my general list of songs, added a few such as Copacabana, and almost threw my voice out on some heavy and speed metal.  We finished at 2 a.m., which was much later than I had hoped.

Again, no pictures, but I'm going to Nagoya tomorrow.  I'll post pics in the next update.
