Day 59 (Osaka) : Kanji is not so bad

I was surprised just how much an extra hour made a difference in my kanji studies. I set my alarm for 5:30 this morning and slept in until 6:00, but that's still an hour early. I feel like I got everything no the kanji test right. Now how well I will do on tomorrow's chapter exam, who knows. A lot of the material we are covering in a GTA fashion of hit and run before the stars start to build up. I'm wondering if they ever actually stop to review anything at this school or if it's going to be a two year flash card.

I'm at least relieved to have a routine to fall back into, though I dropped most of my good habits. I haven't weighed in lately and it's been so muggy hot that I don't exercise much more than lifting my weights for ten or so minutes. If it gets any more humid here I'll be able to swim in my living room. I packed away the last of the blankets yesterday and I'm down to just the single sheet for covering my futon. Summer is going to be rough. Some of the classmates want to go out to some aquarium park thing since I didn't go to USJ last Saturday. It's kind of sad but I can understand their point of view. Since they haven't been here for years like me they want to go from one tourist trap to another and take pictures. I just want to go out, drink, and chat up the locals to make my memories. I've seen enough US theme parks and aquariums for a few life times.
