The past week.

The past week was filled with activities, though not all fun and games. I did enjoy the week, but my wallet and bank account probably don't feel the same. It's ok though, as I just have to get to the 30th, when my scholarship finally kicks in. I know I've probably left out some information on what's been going on, but I probably don't remember what happened all that well anyways. I'm more upset about it than any of my readers probably are, but I'll continue with where I left off.

So on the past week we only had really 3 days of school during the week because we had Wednesday and Thursday off due to some holiday scheduling conflict. On Monday, I dragged myself to school again and dealt with another boring day of class. I remember this day of class because I was sleeping in class. During my light sleep, my classmate decides that during on Kanji lesson, it would be appropriate to bring up the fact that I was sleeping in class. Kind of sucked, but I didn't really care all that much. Culture in Context class wasn't as fun this week because I was so exhausted. I did enjoy the class as usual however. After the class we all basically tried to kill time until the evening when we would throw a party for our friend Kumi. I met up with my fellow CSU Andy coincidentally and walked around to find something to do. We ran into a few WIC members and talked to them for a while. Coincidentally, the WIC member who was very very very drunk the night before was there too, and we talked about the previous night's crazy events. They soon left as did we, and me and my friend headed off to Saizeria to have a early dinner because I had heard dinner would not be provided at the party. We get to Saizeria and see that 2 other CSU members were there, so we sat next to them. We all ate and talked for a couple hours to kill some time before the party. Nothing else really happened, and we eventually all walked over to the party.

At the party, everything was slow to start. We had no booze, not too many people, and NO BOOZE! A few of us went off to buy some snacks and beer, and we went back to the party. They did some fun stuff like shove a cream puff in the birthday girl's face and then take pictures, but the funny stuff didn't happen until after we started drinking and talking to a 4th year Niji no Kai member. It was probably the most hilarious moment since I've been here. I first talked with another acquaintance of mine before the 4th year walked over. I had met the 4th year before, but only once before this time. We started talking about some pretty funny stuff after that. I can't repeat any of the jokes and situational comedy that ensued, but if you want to know, you'll have to ask me directly or message me on facebook. The jokes were hilarious, and I could not believe this guy was uttering some of these jokes. The jokes included gifts that were given, video stores, and Macau. Crazy night of laughing. After everything concluded, most of the people went home, but some of us remained to talked outside the dorm we held the party at. I literally stood around and talked for another 2 hours. I knew the next day was going to suck majorly. I got hungry, so before the night ended, I went with my buddy Shuta to grab a gyudon real quick. Headed home after that to sleep and get ready for school.

So I'm going to throw together something real quick because I haven't updated in a long time. The excerpts before this were actually written a while ago, but I just hadn't had time or motivation to update this. My buddy and I also had arranged to grab lunch the following day, which we did end up doing. We gathered a few people up and headed off to Shinokubo, which apparenlty had lots of Koreans and Korean restaurants. We went to a real cheap place with some good Korean food. It was fun and all, but a terrible thing was about to occur that day. Lunch was great. Great people, great food, great jokes, but after lunch I had to head back to my dorm to deal with some internet crap.

I get back to my dorm, and wait for these losers to come and show up to check my internet again. They finally arrived after being very late, and I graciously allow them to scan my computer. The thing was, these stupid dumb fucks didn't know what the hell they were doing. Apparently, no one in the fucking IT department in Waseda has a fucking clue how to work a MAC really. I told them I had the newest fucking thing, but the dumb fucks didn't seem to understand. I include all these "fucks" because after a while, I really felt like they were raping the shit out of my brand new macbook pro. After I'd say about an hour or so, they decided that their version of anti-virus was actually incompatible with my laptop. I COULD HAVE FUCKING TOLD THEM THAT IF THEY ASKED! What a bunch of fucking dicks. I was sooo angry. They adjusted all my settings, and on top of that, didn't return anything to what it was before! They also downloaded all this shit onto my desktop and didn't even delete. I was quite furious that day. I felt like someone had raped my soul. I felt quite dirty. I literally wiped down my macbook after that.

Following my soul/computer rape, I didn't want to be in the same room as my computer. I got a couple friends, and we went and got some happy hour at a cafe/bar near my dorm. It was pretty cool, and the drinks did help to calm me down. I did have to have a few drinks because Japan seems to enjoy weakening their drinks to the point that they taste like soda. My gin and tonic was mostly tonic and a bit of gin I believe. We got lots of gyoza after that, and a calmed down me was able to head home and deal with my raped computer. I'll update with some more soon, but I have to go to bed to get up tomorrow to have lunch with some friends. Miss you all back home. Send me stuff! My cell phone mail address is "seefutbow@ezweb.ne.jp". If you want to send me actually mail, email me and I'll reply with my actual address. See you all in about 8 months!
