Day 16 (Osaka) : のむヨーグルト

Today was the first day of school and it was pretty extreme. I don't mean like ranch flavored corn nuts extreme, oh no. It was much more like the woman crushing beer cans with her boobies extreme. Just look at the host's face if you don't get how extreme that is after watching it.

Maybe I was taking for granted that there would be some kind of grace period to ease into the studies, but that's not the way it works. I'm actually classed up with people who have been here a hot minute. Some of my classmates are already four terms or more deep. Right now I'm no where near the top and pretty close to the bottom of the class. I have a lot of memorization to do and I'm not really sure how, but I have to get a few hundred kanji rocked out in a very short amount of time. It's not bad at all though. I feel pretty confident that I could understand about 90% of what was going on in class.

On the way home I ran through the grocery store to get eats for tomorrow and decided to grab some milk to polish off the last of my protein powder. In a strange twist of events I ended up with a quart of yogurt. If you're asking yourself how something like that could happen, that makes two of us. I even went back and did a check on the item in question.

Milk carton, check. Pleasant scenary of fields and mountains, check. Cows, check. のむヨーグルト? (Roughly, drink yogurt...) It's completely camouflaged! You wouldn't buy an orange carton, with oranges on it and expect to get Mountain Dew. How can you get a milk carton with cows on it and end up with coconut flavored yogurt? On the bright side it mixes perfectly with my Syntrax Nectar, minus about three inches of fluffy pink crap on the top. The yogurt has almost the same nutritional value as milk so it isn't a total loss. I'm just wondering if they really have milk, because I only saw two cartons in the whole row.
