Is it good or is it bad?

So yesterday I went out with Sheung Sheung to Roppongi Hills and saw the Bucket List. It is about these two guys who have cancer; one the head of a hospital and the other a mechanic. They learn that they have only 6 months left to live and decide to go on an adventure to see the world. You can see the ending coming from a mile away, but it is still sad. Sheung Sheung had tears by the end of it. It's not my kind of movie, but it was a way to get out of the house and away from studying. Aside from that it was really cheap at only 1000 yen after the student discount.

I returned home and instead of doing homework, I started playing FF7: Crisis Core. Now I got the game when I bought my PSP way back in August, but this is the first time that I have started playing it. I wanted to wait until my Japanese level was good enough to be able to understand the story. Since this is an RPG, it is a heavily story driven game. I am glad that I did wait because I can understand %80 of what is going on WITHOUT LOOKING AT MY DICTIONARY! It is probably the best feeling in the world. I also get to learn new words like "air raid," "pride," and "mission." It is such a good feeling...

So since yesterday I have been playing non-stop in my free time. This morning I had a speech and a kanji test in Japanese. I did not prepare for either of them except on the hour long ride to school. Needless to say they went just as well as if I spent hours preparing. After class I went with John and Kyle for lunch at Malibar. We spent the entire time talking about friends back at our home colleges. I think everyone is getting a little homesick by now.... For 4th period I met my language partner Ryota and his friend from Vietnam. I forget his name, but he has been living in Japan since he was 2 so he is not really a foreigner. We talked in the ICC for an hour (all in Japanese) and then went to play darts at a nearby place called "The Hideout." The perfect place to go when you skip class. We played 4 rounds of darts and I managed to win on the first one (which was highest score) and the last one (pizzarea). There are a bunch of interesting games for darts where you try to give you opponents points and the lowest score wins. Anyway, after that I returned home and started up Crisis Core again.

I really am addicted to video games. But it is a good thing right? I am once again not doing my homework, but at least I'm getting Japanese practice right?
