Last Week of School

The last week of school started today. I went to Japanese class as per usual and nothing particularly exciting happened. I did however, decide to start renting movies. More on that later.

For lunch I met up with Steve, Kyle, Milton, and Daniel for some noodles at the nearby restaurant. Good times. Zaru-soba tastes even better when the weather is really hot like this.

I met up with Ryota for the last time today too. He is busy this week studying and things so we probably won't be able to meet up again before I leave. This time Vaso showed up in the middle of our conversation. Chika (Mile's girlfriend) also showed up a little later. We all talked mostly in Japanese. We played with Vaso's dictionary. It has a feature where it will say English words out loud in a computerized voice. There is something really satisfying about having a dictionary curse at you ^_^

On my way home I stopped by the local Tsutaya and opened up a rental account. It sure took me long enough to do it! I want to rent/burn some dvd's before I go home for future watching enjoyment. The reason for doing it here is for the Japanese subtitles instead of English ones. If I watch a Japanese movie with Japanese subtitles I can understand exactly 50% more than without them. It really helps that much with the listening. Today I got L: Change the World and also watched my Tales of Symphonia bonus disk that I received. Tomorrow who knows what I will get!
