Today was rough. It's hot as all, humid, the Japanese I'm studying is difficult, ran out of food except for a little bit of left overs, and managed to get a head ache for the first time in years. (Hang-overs don't count.) on the bright side after talking over some of the grammar points I managed to get a really firm understanding of about half of them. I also narrowed down the JLPT kanji that will be tested on Tuesday to a slim thirty eight, which is about half what I'm used to learning before a test.
I finished off the second season of The Big Bang Theory and I'm really disappointed to see it end. They're up for a third season but I probably won't be able to see it until I'm State side again. The show just seems to click with me for any number of reasons, but mostly because they seem to have the closest realistic scenario that I could hope to achieve in my own life. It would be cool to have like minded friends hanging out all the time to do interesting stuff with instead of just watching movies solo all the time.
Oh, I watched that Benjamin Button movie but it was incredibly long and disappointing. It became especially unrealistic when his body started to "ungrow" back into a baby. I could suspend disbelief to imagine a child that was born old and grew larger, but still looked old. From there it's a short leap to imagine that same person growing younger for whatever reason on the outside while still aging on the inside. What I couldn't wrap my head around was how his body would suddenly reduce it's size and structure from a full sized adult into an infant. It wasn't really necessary to seal the whole them of aging in reverse. It would have been just as meaningful if he died looking like a full grown teenager instead.
Monday is off for Umi No Hi, or beach day. I'll probably be spending it safely within range of a powerful AC unit where ever I go. I'm still not adapted to the Osaka heat with the super high humidity.
