Got my friday test back today and I got 95.45%!! which is really good for the intensity of the class. Granted I'm only ichinensei and the test was kind of easy but other people made more mistakes than I did and they have been studying japanese since they started school.

So we went to Kyoto this weekend. Pretty sweet. Our friend Yui pointed out a cheap (illegal) way to get around paying alot for a train ticket. Basically, we left Hikoneshi from a train station farther north and farther in the boon docks. It's about 10 bucks for the ticket there, but we didn't come back until about 8 the next morning, when nobody is at this tiny ass train station. The ticket machine vends a different amount equivalent to the different number of stops. So we just bought the cheapest one and kind of "gate hopped" when we got back. Clever eh? I justify it by saying that everything else is FUCKING EXPENSIVE. TAKAI DESUNE!

once in kyoto we all stopped at a lawsons and got ourselves a chu-hi strongu and sat by the river and talked with everyone. After which we went to some english pub (kind of tacky but they made very large gin and tonics) and watched arsenal win 2-1.

after getting thoroughly sauced up, around 1:30 AM, we hit the club. did a large amount of drinking and dancing until about 5:30 AM. TOTEMO TAKAI DESUNE!

we then hit up a food bar and made a futile attempt to absorb the acohol we had consumed.

then a fun train ride home, arriving back at the dorm at about 9:30 AM.

I guess that makes me a chachi motherfucker. But good times, all around.

tomorrow is a national holiday so we don't have class which means tonight I get to hit up yabu's. The dude loves oberon, and I wish there was a way I could get it to him.

So if anybody can think of a way to get oberon here legally let me know. How is the US?
