hot hot hot

So...its really hot here now. But not really. It gets up to around 85, which means you kind of sweat, especially when there is humidity, but compared to the rest of Japan, it could be really worse. Down in tokyo/the areas around tokyo is is maybe 90-95 degrees, and the humidity is much much worse, so I am pretty comfortable right now.

Classes are starting to wind down, done with midterms, final presentations coming up, researching a couple of boring useless topics, but what are you gonna do? Got major sun burn the other day at a soccer game too, and we lost. Double fail.

Also the us team lost...sad face. But on the bright side I've actually been spending a lot of time at a couple of sports bars and made some new friends and stuff, which I guess you could say is a plus. It would be a lot better if I could still root for the US though.

BBQ's have been going pretty good as well, I had one last night, and for desert we had these cookies that we bought, that really aren't all that great when you buy them, but if you grill them, they sort of melt a little bit, and actually get really tasty. Did I mention that Japanese people drink a lot when they BBQ? So 2 weekends ago I was having a bbq with some guys from the soccer team and there were sooo many drunk Japanese people it wasn't even funny. But actually it was.

But I found out why there are so many crows on campus though actually. **warning this is kind of nasty**

So these 2 guys were supporting this Japanese guy in between them, and all 3 of them were just sort of wobbling their way towards the nearest building with a bathroom in it, when the guy in the middle started to lose it. He spewed....a lot. But what's worse, is that he tried to catch the stream, but ended up slapping the stream...splashing into his friends face who was walking with him. Ew....but wait, it gets better. The karas (large crows) that were watching all of this unfold, swooped in to pick up the chunks the kid had just yarked. Super nasty!!
