An update..?!

Sorry to do this again, but here’s a quick run through:

Mate came round to visit me here. We did lots of sightseeing in Tokyo, and also went to Kamakura. Order of things we’ve seen most of: Izakayas -> Trains -> Temples/Shrines -> Pizzas -> Baseballs.

Since then I’ve registered for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2, and have been studying for it every day. Well, I say every day.. it took amazon two weeks to send my books. Word of advice for future test takers: don’t get neither Kanzen Master Vocab 1,2 nor Kanzen Master 2kyuu Kanji. They’re a waste of money. Grammar and Reading Comprehension, on the other hand, are good.

In between studying I’ve had a bit of baseball going on. We finished the league somewhere in the middle with 5 wins 5 losses. Two weeks later the Japanese Public University Baseball Tournament started. I missed the first game due to stomach ache. The baseball team is currently organizing a softball tournament within TUFS for everyone to join. Rita and I have made it our goal to put together a Ryuugakusei (foreign students) Team, and it’s looking good so far.

The other day I got a phone call from a friend in Germany who I haven’t seen/talked to in ages. She was in Tokyo for a few days so we met up the same evening in an izakaya. It was nice to see her again, we both missed out on a lot of things happening at home apparently.

Other than that I’m just wasting away in my room with Kat, studying for the upcoming exam and watching Green Wing and Black Books.
