Obligatory "It's been a while" entry.

It's been a month, and I must admit, I forgot I had this blog at all.

A month has passed and there's been an overwhelming amount of events that have occurred within the relatively long time-frame.

First off, I think I've been going pretty alright in my Japanese course. So far, I've been given 4 tests and a oral exam. I'm expecting a mark tomorrow for the oral but for the last four tests, I'm pretty satisfied with what I got.

Test 1: 93%
Test 2: 96%
Test 3: 98%
Test 4: 100%

I can't say that I expect good marks out of the oral exam, since I stuttered and I made shit up from the top of my head. I didn't know that you needed to have something written down on a piece of paper for the sake of memorization. Oh well. There's the written exam to take care of and I'll just wing it like I did for every single one of my tests.

Secondly, I've been participating in something called the Winz Language Exchange. It's pretty awesome as it's a 2-hour session every Friday.
In the first hour, you try to create a conversation in English with a group of Japanese students. In the second hour, they try to create a conversation with you in Japanese.

I've been going every Friday since the beginning of November and it's a really great experience. Not only do you get the benefit of speaking with Japanese students, you have the incentive of trying to improve your Japanese and ask as many questions as possible about the language and the culture of Japan.

Saturday November 27th was definitely a night to remember. Kai, Jake, and I went downtown to go check out the DISTANT WORLDS: FINAL FANTASY concert. Upon arriving in the theater, I've met a bunch of people I know. Let's see if I can remember them all.

Pat, Vicky, Tam, _eternal from twitter, Robin, Celena, Ron, Mike, May, and Hime among others. Apparently there were a lot more people I knew but I didn't get to see them. Sorry, Vincent.

ALSO HOLY SHIT, MY PROFESSOR FROM SCHOOL WAS THERE TOO NSAKLGNSAKLNFKLSANFSA.

All in all though, the concert was pretty fucking amazing beyond words. I cried a bit when some of the FF6 tracks were being played, just because it's my most favourite of the Final Fantasy games.

I seriously regret not buying -any- kind of memorabilia from there though. It's just amazing.

Oh yeah, and as of late, I've been playing Do-Don-Pachi Daifukkatsu on XBOX360. I haven't been playing much out of 1.5 and 1.51, but goddamn, I love Arrange A to death. It's basically Daifukkatsu using the DAI-OU-JOU Type A ship along with the DAI-OU-JOU Hyper system. I've been playing it so much that I'm currently 14th place worldwide in the Arrange A internet rankings.

That is.... until CRI starts to beat it again.
