...ってか、旅愛のみ会！
("Collaboration with shrimp!"...or, travel club drinking party!)
So this week, my Japanese midterm owned me. Really, I didn't know we'd have so many questions to answer on the reading, so I didn't divide my time up well...anyway, we'll see how that goes. A lot of people didn't finish.
The good news, as stated before, today was my first nomikai with travel club. I've now discovered that the later it is and the more tired I am, the less Japanese I'm able to understand and use. I think I only understood like..half the conversation. But despite that, the food (at Salsa Cabana) was good and it was fun to mostly listen. Everyone is really nice, even if I can't talk to them that well. It's weird to be the only who doesn't understand everything that's going on, but it's a comfortable atmosphere. Rina tells me that after a while, you get to know people and it becomes like a family. =D And the shrimp thing? That was, I think, my favorite thing anyone said all night. Keisuke (I'm trying really hard with names, it's embarassing I can't remember them all.) got this chocolate/ice cream crepe thing on his shrimp and said that. XD Japanese people also do not know how to drink tequila. The salt and the limes and oh, the confusion. Hahaha. It was all fun though. Whoo.
It's gotten really cold all of a sudden. Had to bust out my biggest jacket. I really think I need to go shopping for long sleeves and coats/sweaters/jackets. I was not expecting it to switch so suddenly.
