Long Day

I woke up this morning with more vigor than usual. Surprisingly I was up before my alarm, got dressed without to much complaining about the cold, and made it to school on time for the first time in ages. Everything was going great until I looked in my bag and found that my Japanese folder was nowhere to be found. Great, a 0 for my homework grade for the day. Once class ended, I ate lunch with Mike, Vaso, and Kyle. Kyle started spitting out Smash Bros news which I will save for below. I had a nice set lunch with curry rice, udon, fried potato, and extra rice. It was amazingly filling for only 400 yen. Vaso and I left early to get to our Translation class; we had an exam today. We met up with Joe along the way and proceeded to take seats way in the back. Vaso had lost his papers that we were allowed to use on the exam so I figured he could "borrow" mine during the test. Turns out that the "exam" was just a long essay question on the stories we had read. The stories had absolutely nothing to do with translation, but I pulled up some lines and made some connections that didn't really make any sense. On top of that, there was a time limit that I did not know about until it was over. Yay for writing in complete thoughts. After the test I asked around and nobody knew what she was looking for in that essay. Good, it means I was not the only one. After class Vaso and I grabbed some milk from the coop and headed home. I had decided on the way to school that I was going to skip Genji today; I hadn't read the material anyways. When I got home I started studying for my Modern Song Class test tomorrow. I have been looking at lyrics and listening to songs all day so it has not been that bad.

So on to video game news. I got my PSP and DS firmwares updated today. They both really don't do much, but it is nice to know that my systems are up to date. I also played a little Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and thought I was going to destroy my DS. I can understand button mashing to make your character run the 100 meter dash, but rubbing the screen back and forth with the stylus? Come on Nintendo, you can do better. I am hoping the Wii version will be! Secondly, the new Advance Wars is coming out next week and I am really excited. Lastly, Kyle told me that Smash Bros X is coming out at the end of the month... Weird, because last I heard it had been delayed until March. Taking a look at the website sure enough it was delayed. But wait, that is the English version of the site... The Japanese version displays differently, January 31!!! You can bet I will be out braving the cold to get my copy!
