Welp, today's weather was interesting at least. Morning was lovely and cool. By the time my first class let out, it was so hot I felt I was melting. Guh. End of lunch it was raining. Then nice. Then raining then nice. I almost thought it was Eugene. But then the thunder started. But was nice for my next class. I stayed at school a little later, and while I was sitting, playing my gameboy (dont you judge me) there was an earthquake. Yay. I'm beginning to think this is typical for Japan. Horay Japan.
Oh, today was my first actual test at Waseda. It was a speaking test for my "Think and Speak in Japanese" class (level 1-2). Really easy. But my partner struggled a little. I think he's having difficulty getting past his southern accent.
Today was another adventure in Japanese cinema. Got together a group of students, some ous, others from other classes, and we all went to Ikebukuro to watch Men In Black 3. Since it was the first of the month, the tickets were a little less pricey. Gotta say, this MIB was way better than I expected. I mean, I had friends tell me it was good, but it actually pulled on some heartstrings there for a little while. Wayyyyyyyy better than the second movie.
A few little differences in Japanese cinema from american theaters. First of all, they all call it cinema here. Some english thing. Queen's english. Whatever. Another thing is when you purchase your ticket, you pick a seat. No first-come first serve here, you pick when you buy. So I guess it still is first come first serve, but because we were late it sucked. Ended up in the front row, far left. Boo. Another difference is they keep the house lights off all the way through the credits, so you have to stay and watch them. Maybe Japanese end credits are more interesting than American ones, but it was kind of a drag. That's pretty much all the differences. Yay.
