After 4 years of (ok, not) trying, there is finally a japanese club at my school! A few weeks ago I talked with the math teacher at my school who speaks japanese after I did my foreign language mass petition in japanese (last year she said I talked like a yakuza because I acquired my accent from violent anime but this year she said I toned it down well) She told me that one of the new demi-padres at Jesuit was super-fluent (haha, pun) and he was interested in setting up a club. (note: this guy looks like he'd be right at home in the role of cardinal richelieu's (yes i looked up that spelling) personal assassin in the three musketeers; thus, I call him the Jesuit Assassin) I didn't know it would actually happen until this morning when Shea announced that there would be a meeting for the Japanese Club during first club period and that he was moderating. I was kinda pissed because I'm in bloody NHS and we get in trouble if we don't go to the meetings and those are during 1st club period and they're useless. So after that I ran over and got to be there for like the last 3 minutes. It was cool because he was teaching the 'ickle firsties to say yes and no and such in japanese when I got there. There was a pretty good turnout, plus I talked to him a bit after the meeting and now we're going to hold weekly meetings on fridays before school! This almost makes up for not being able to Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 (I am not bloody calling it "Clash of the Ninja") with Owen in the counseling center during free periods. Almost, though we could probably get the JA to be down with video games during meetings. Huzzah!
