Day 122 (Osaka) : 100% Half Japanese?

I had a weird encounter today. I met a guy who was supposed to be half Japanese who turned out to be all Japanese. Long story short, he was adopted very late in his life and decided for whatever reason to pretend like that negated the first half of his life making him only have Japanese. It was even more confusing since he had a very non-Japanese last name due to the adoption. He seems like an alright guy to hang out with but he's only in the country for a short time before he goes back to Canada where he lives. If things work out the way we've planned I will be watching the PL fireworks for free from his family's place instead of paying the $30 admission fee else where.

I'm really worn out from the kanji routine but I have a really good feeling about this morning's test. Actually, today was full of all kinds of good feelings. Like this morning when we got our last kanji test back I was a full five points ahead of the guy setting next to me with 32/35 to his 27/35. Then in the afternoon class I got a whopping 5/10 compared to the "you should study harder" girl's 3/10. In my defense, I didn't realize we were even going to have another kanji test so I was completely unprepared. On top of that I missed on by a pair of " marks, called ten ten in Japanese. So my reading was "shinfuu" instead of the correct "shinpuu" which would means "a new style" if you go with the Jim Breen translation. (I don't have a dictionary handy so I'm searching the internet...)

Only three more days until summer vacation kicks off. I'm actually looking forward to getting back into a normal sleep pattern for a little while. Maybe I can even start jogging and finally get into shape. Speaking of shape, my laptop is in bad shape. One of the keys is loose and pops off every couples of clicks so anytime I write a word with the letter "h" the key pops out of place again. It's really a big hassle, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to stay in place. Maybe I'll hit up the HP store later to see if they have any tips or advice. They may even mail me a replacement key, who knows.
