You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do
First and most importantly, I want to wish my sister a Happy Birthday. If I could afford it I'd call her on the phone to say so in person. I'll have an opportunity to speak to her in January though as she's coming to visit! Hooray!
Not a great day today, I have four classes on Wednesdays plus I had to spend another hour or so afterwards to practice our skit for tomorrow morning. I think it's going to turn out OK although I wonder if anyone else is going to think so. The dialogue is pretty silly but will the rest of the class be amused? I hope so. Maybe the physical comedy aspects will win the audience over.
I had lunch with Kazu during which I was negotiating my next date with Mako. In trying to explain to Mako where in Umeda I wanted to meet, I asked Kazu to type in the directions in Japanese. He did so which made things a little easier. Mako replied with some sweet sentiments (translated from Japanese): "I'm really looking forward to this. I'm very fond of you. I want to meet really soon!" I read her response to Kazu who accused me of embellishing her words but I showed him the message. I started to write a response but I needed his help in finding the right word for "embrace." He offered to write the response which I thought was nice of him. He wrote 「強くまこちゃんを抱き締めたい！」 which roughly translates as "I want to give you a big hug!" but then he added 「セックスしたい！！」, "I want to have sex with you!!" He thought it was hilarious but it's a good thing I edited it before I mailed it to her. I doubt she'd be so amused by such base declarations. Come on Kazu, have a little finesse!
The difficult essay test I took two weeks ago was finally returned. I only got an 80 which isn't so good but isn't really bad either. It's more than enough to pass and if I do better on the next test(s) I should still pull at least a B. To be perfectly honest, that's plenty for my needs. I like A's more than B's but what can you do faced with nothing but essay questions?
After school was finished and I had some dinner, I had to do a little extra work for our skit tomorrow. We needed a beer can as a prop and the school frowns on full ones being possessed on campus so it was up to me to empty it ahead of time. I didn't want to do it but I sacrificed my body and took a break in a nearby park with a tall can of beer and some interesting chips. The things I do for my craft...
If I ever get arrested, I think this is the photo that'll end up in the papers.
"Ebi" means "shrimp" in Japanese. Yes, they really have Ebi Mayo pizza in Japan. I'd wager it tastes better than these chips too.
Tomorrow should be a much happier day. Only two classes (one of which will just be the skits) and then I have the afternoon off. With no classes on Friday (it's "School Foundation Day") that means my three-day weekend starts at one PM! Plus I'm having dinner with Mako! Ohh I can't wait!
