Well this week was midterms and it was crazy. Three days of test and let me tell you I am so glad that it is over. I got very little if any sleep, but today, Friday, was a holiday here and Japan so I pretty much slept all day then I wrote this the rough draft for a review on this movie for an academic journal.
Japan is slowly starting to grow on me. I really like it and there are more things that people do here that I wished we did back in the states. On the average even though a lot of Japanese look at me weird and treat non-Japanese as second rate most of them are really nice and are perhaps the least confrontation people I have ever met.
With that said, the one aspect I wish I could change is finding a good language exchange partner that actually wants to speak Japanese with me. I technically have two but both of them are really shy and I have to maintain the dialogue and they are pretty useless in letting me practice Japanese. It is actually driving me nuts, because so many Japanese people here want to just speak English with me and I want to just speak Japanese. It’s frustrating sometimes.
