Day 87 (Osaka) : The end of Scrubs...

Today was boring! I ran out of Scrubs episodes to watch and started working on the next season of Heroes. I'd read a lot of negative reviews about the direction the show was going but I think it's a ton better than the second season in a way. On the other hand, the character development for a lot of characters seems to be instantaneous and what was a pretty solid development in the last season is boo boo in this season. For example, why the heck is Suresh acting like some character out of a Greek tragedy? He seemed like a reasonable enough person in the beginning but suddenly he's a mad scientist with some flimsy revenge motivation.

I was reminded by one of my classmates that the exam we took wasn't one of the real placement tests. So it is borderline impossible to leave the first year class regardless of performance in the exam. It's basically just a chance to scare people about moving them down into different classes. Which as Helen pointed out earlier, wouldn't be so bad. Since class 1E was able to finish Chapter 15 before the exam while my higher class was struggling just to start Chapter 14.

The weather has been strange lately. It's not like it's just getting hotter, it feels like it's actually getting wetter. I mean the air is sticky humid and it feels awful even with the windows open so I'm already relying pretty heavily on my AC. Air conditioning is really man's triumph over nature. It would have been terrible to hack out a living before there was a proper way to cool down a room. Oh, and I read that there are more episodes of Scrubs coming I just have to be patient.
