Boring

Yesterday was boring. We finished up the presentations in the morning then Vaso, Keaton, and I headed to Shinjuku. I think we walked around for 3+ hours looking for a specific arcade. Vaso and Keaton eventually left me to search alone. As soon as they left I just happened to run into it. Figures. Afterwards I went to the Hub for a little bit just to hang out.

This morning was great. It had rained a little last night and had cooled down a lot. It's the kind of weather when you can wear a long sleeve shirt and not be cold or hot. I spent the morning trying to get music on my phone. I eventually figured out that it has to be in wma format for it to work. As I write this I am converting all the music that I brought with me to wma in order to use my phone as an music player. Around noonish I met Vaso at Shinjuku and we headed to the arcade that I found yesterday. We played a couple games of Guilty Gear Core and Gundam before heading to meet one of Vaso's friends. This kid is apparently working in Japan for a while doing environmental research. He went to Middlebury last summer and has had no Japanese knowledge before that. His listing skills were better than mine which really made me envious. Anyways, we hit up a bowling ally in Shinjuku for 2 rounds. I managed to break a 100 both times, which is all that really matters to me. Bowling in Japan is just like in the states... But the balls were painted like basketballs for some odd reason.

So here I am back at home. This is the first day that I have actually studied Japanese since I arrived here. I feel like I have not been learning much of the language by going outside the classroom. Classes need to start already!
