update

Wow, it's been a while. Since last time, I've mainly just been going to school and doing normal everyday things. I started my conversation partner/tutoring job at the Nerima culture center on Thursday. I only have to work with 6 people, 3 at a time, so it's really easy. The only bummer is that I leave my apartment at 8AM and don't get home until around 9:30PM, so it's a long day.

Classes are going fine, and having Wednesdays off is definiately nice, I just wish the classes were more interesting. Right now, I'm looking into joining the travel club and/or the cinema club, depending on how they fit in my schedule and all of that.

Yesterday, I went to Shibuya and met up with Nobuko. We went shopping at Shibuya109, which is a gigantic mall. Only bought one thing, but it was fun to look at all the ridiculous stuff they had there. Then we went to a movie theatre and watched "The Kingdom". Movies in Japan are really expensive, about $15 each. It was a good movie though, makes you think. It is kind of depressing though.

Today will be spent cleaning and studying. Thanks to Yuhki, I have this new addiction to Hershey's ice cream bars. I'll have to get outta here and go find something else to eat. Japanese test tomorrow, wish me luck!
