I took out the trash today, and I'm on FIRE!

Do you really want to hear about my good day? It is not really that good, frankly I have been rather pissed. I was awoken twice last night by a drunken group of people that Maija brilliantly brought home at 4AM(Wednesday morning). Absolutely genius. My respect for her is non existent right now.I still went to my 9 o'clock class though, that's more than either Johnny or Maija can say. Other than having a drunken train wreck ruin my sleep, there are many things that I have to do and say.
I think this is the longest I have gone without posting all semester, and I apologize. Nice weather, school, and other fun/annoying things got in the way. I feel better now, but I always say that. Something always comes out of the blue to kick me in the ass. Today it was finding out I have a lesson test in my writing class...Tomorrow! Yesterday it was being 6 min late for class only to find my classmates passing back to the teacher the quiz that I knew nothing about. I was able to take it and do well (for not studying at all), but I kept thinking of how I overslept by 6 min and was late by 6 min. Too many things, everyday.
Lets see, things that have been going on in the previous two weeks... Well to start with Hanami (flower viewing) was a good time, both times I went. Both times I went to Kyoto, first to Kiyomizu Temple, then to a small park. All of the foreign exchange kids at Gaidai were going nuts about it. Some people even went up to 4 or 5 times! I didn't care that much.
Being rather sick until about 3 days ago, I was really limited in mobility around the Kansai area. Also reading One Piece for about an hour every day was taking time away from other more important things. Even while not being a total procrastinator many things aren't clicking. In school I am just having trouble paying attention to what is happening in classes. I think that I'm just burnt out on college in general, this happened in High School too. As much as I love Japan, I want the summertime to come. I will miss this place terribly though once I am gone, so I still try to have as much fun as possible.
Despite being a bit hung over from a poker party Saturday night, this past weekend was one such good time. I hung out with my friend Andrew the whole time. We exchanged music, bought incense/art supplies, and went to Osaka. Andrew has a lot of good music, and I am so happy that we exchanged. We have so much to give that it couldn't all be done in one sitting. Since Friday all I've been listening to is Post Rock, Indie, and Trance music. My favorites of his music so far include, Explosions in the Sky, and Broken Social Scene. Osaka was a very excellent time, I was able to take lots of pictures of architecture and many other things. Most of the pictures were of the graffiti I am researching though, so I only uploaded the most interesting ones. I'm very glad that we walked around the whole time because I became more acquainted with the city. I like Osaka a lot more than I used to, and now I cant wait to go back. I got some awesome orange shoelaces in the shotengai at Shinsaibashi, so now I have orange and blue shoes. Andrew got some new shoes so that he can play hacky sack. When we can we play together, but some evening rain ruined any prospects of us playing in Osaka city. I think my favorite part of the day was meeting the "Free Hugs" people on the bridge by the Glico man.

Now it is the first full week of classes for the entering Freshman, and the beginning of the new semester. Due to this all of the clubs set up tables to invite new members around 4 o'clock. I am joining the Archery club, and helping out with the Tennis club too. It seems like I'll be pretty busy with the club activities, but it should be a lot of fun. I can't wait to shoot stuff with arrows.
