sharles says he is an american now. he buys stuff he doesn't need, and he now owns a gun. squirt gun, but still. theres a secret squirtgun assassin game that has developed in the residence hall of late. any one of us could be squirted at any moment.

last couple days have been good. i walked over to the sports complex with some taiwanese girls and watched the aiu soccer and judo clubs practice, then came back, got all my hiragana down, and went nitenite. today was the first little overview for my intro to japanese society class. as charles would say, "i find it clearly so great". the teacher seems pretty cool. he's a huge kurosawa fan, and supplements the lectures with kurosawa's movies. keen. later, i sat around with the ladies from taiwan and ate fresh peaches and apples, which i have seen hide nor hair of since touchdown, and watched a crazy ass japanese show about a girl who dresses up as a boy and attends an all boys school because she really likes a boy at the school. there was some weird sub plot about a dance contest and another about a sports rivalry. there was a huge group watching and everytime something dramatic would happen, all the japanese girls would go "eeeeeeeeeiihhh" the way only japanese girls can. tomorrow, i haven't a single solitary thing to do. dunno what i'll get into. this saturday, there's a group taking the train up to kakunodate to see the last big matsuri, or festival, of the season. should be something friggin special. i'm all hopped up on more of those chocolate covered almonds, but i'm going to poke around a little and get to bed. oya sumennasai!
