Guess what, guys? There's a typhoon scheduled to hit here tomorrow. Basically, as of now it's a level 2 hurricane equivalent storm, but they have a gale warning in effect, so as of right now, there's no school. I'm supposed to check tomorrow morning and see whether the warning is still in effect to see whether I have classes or not. Yup. So that happened.
In other news, Japanese men are quite possibly the most vain creatures on the face of this earth. The way that they're either on the same equivalent as the fashionable women, or even more fashionable than them makes it rather silly. And then there are just some fashion choices that should not be made, like the velveteen red blazer with tight khaki shorts and sandals that I saw yesterday. You know how people don't care about what they wear at college in the US? Well, that's not the case here. People have just graduated from school uniforms, and I guess that means they have to wear designer fashion all the time. Not that I'm complaining, I just think it's a bit dangerous to be walking up a hill that's like O-Hill's meaner big brother wearing stilettos, y'know?
Also, you remember the SARS scare, when you saw the video clips of all the Chinese people wearing masks everywhere? Well, that's what it's like in Japan, too. People wear masks all the time--they even make pink and blue ones, if you want to try and accessorize. And women wear these weird arm cover things and carry parasols, so that their skin will never see the light of day, and remain milky white. Seriously, I saw one girl who would give a piece of paper a run for it's money.
I had to do a skit in Japanese class yesterday. It would have gone well, if my one group member had actually remembered her lines. Too bad it was her monologue in which you found out everything that was happening. You could basically hear the crickets chirping in the audience, and it was painful. Hopefully my grade won't suffer just because one person in my group sucks at life.
Epic Kanji test was epic today. Stayed up until 12:00 PM studying for it, which is late for me now (for some reason, I can no longer stay awake past 11:00 PM without regreting it the next morning). Seriously, some of them are kinda easy, but the others are beasts. So, these are the kanji we had to memorize the way to write:
単位、性格、希望者、申し込む、経済、政治、助ける、成績、面接、面白い、選ぶ、選考、態度、家庭、熱、必ず、必要、情報、優先する、頼む、歴史、数
And now. Lunchtime. Although there's this really annoying group of guys sitting next to me, saying that the only way to get good at Japanese is to get a Japanese girlfriend, although all they do is cook and clean, because they don't have confidence, and therefore having one is boring. And Korean girls are "sassy as balls" and therefore are more fun to date. *kills them with a lazer*
