Ok, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday I took a test in Humanities, and I think I got an A....hopefully. Anyway, right now I am studying for my Japanese test. I believe I will pass it too, I just got to make sure I do not make careless mistakes which I have been doing on past homework assignments. So since I have been here most Japanese people, especially on a train, treat me like a disease and are afraid of me, at least that is what I think. It really irritated me, but I can not do anything about it. However!, last night on the train I was trying to study Katakana and then a Japanese older man started to kindly help me. I could understand certain words he said and used context clues to figure out what he was saying. Basically i was writing the Katakana in the form of 'a e i o u' but he said it was wrong to do it that way, it is actually 'a i u e o'. So there is 45 'a i u e o' characters such as ka, sa, ta, ra, ma, na, ha, etc. It felt nice that someone looked at me like a normal human being. Today is gonna be a good day! This is just another day in the life of me!

Ok, ladies and gents. So I spent most of the day studying Japanese, Humanities, and Eastern Religions. I have a test on tomorrow, thursday, on Humanities. Then on friday I have a test on Japanese. Humanities I cover pre-historic European, Mesopatamia, Ancient Egypt, Cyclades, Minoa, and Phoenicia cultures. I hope I past this test and any other tests in Japan because if I do not....well say bye bye to my scholarship back home. My scholarship program requires me to have a 3.2 gpa at least every semester and to obtain a grade higher than a C in every class. But WAIT... even getting straight B's is out of the question because thats a 3.0! I know, thats kind of harsh. Oh well. Life goes on....but between you and me.....I LOVE the challenge in it. I get a natural high off of challenges....you can say its my anti-drug. Anyway, this is just another day in the life of me.

Hello ladies and gents. So I went to Tokyo Disney Sea yesterday and it was freakin awesome. That was my first time attending a Disney theme park....ever. So Tokyo Disney park is split into to park which are Disney Sea and Disney Land. My first impression of disney sea is that its huge, but there is another half I have not explored yet. Apparently, compared to Disney Land in the U.S., Tokyo Disney combined is small! I need to visit the park in the U.S. My favorite part during my adventures at D.S. was the attraction shows. They had several throughout the day. My favorite one was the very last which was during the night. It was beautiful. It was epic....it is really hard to describe. There are seconds in life you can record, instants you can capture, but then there are those events that can only be experienced. Those events are hard to describe because sometimes you feel words can not capture the moment nor describe it. It felt wonderful to say the least. I am enjoying Japan extremely, except for the insane prices they have here lol. Til the next time in another day in the life of me.

Hola

So, I've been in Japan for about three weeks now, and its great. They have
some cool/weird stuff here. The first thing I saw when I got to the airport
was in the bathroom. The toilets have buttons on them besides the regular
flush, which I found to be very hilarious. The cell phones have 8.1 mega
pixels cameras on them, tv, 3d viewing capabilities, and other great stuff.
Plus unlimited txt messages and internet plan is very cheap...relatively. The
women....the women are beautiful! I would say that ...one in every 7 girls
in america looks "good", but in japan one in every 4 girls looks good. So no
matter where I walk, im not bored for even an instant since the women
outnumber the men by a huge amount. Anyway, im living with a host family
called the Shimizu. They have a 3 year old daughter that is really cute. The
worst part about living with the family is that they live over an hour away
from my school which really sucks. That brings me to my next topic. The
transportation here is crazy expensive. I just bought a train card for like
300 dollars and that is only because I have a discount since I am a student,
and if I wasn't the price would double. The food here is expensive too, but
it is really good. The bad thing is that you buy food with more money for
smaller portions, which is what i am not used too. Just another day in my life :)

Yo!!! Wat up People. Its the last official working day!! I just finished my research paper, but it was two hours late. I had to do 4 hours of like revisions and stuff. its watever. I just gotta say, its been good.....and bad, but I learned alot. Gotta give thanks to the SRL for what I learned and accomplised, and that I hope that future interns receives the same or even more knowledge in the world of CS than I did here at Texas A&M. This is gonna be my last blog, so I'll leave it with this: I CANT WAIT TO GET OUT OF THIS SUN, DC HERE I F'N COME!!!!!

Ok, ladies and gents. So I finished my research paper yesterday. But I know it needs revisions, so my grad student mentor is gonna look over it. Im just chilling now til I hear something from him. Peace

Ok, ladies and gents. On friday, I worked on my poster all day. I used photoshop cs 9. It took me longer than I wanted to but I finished the rough draft. I sent my grad student my rough draft saturday morning so that I can make revisions if need be, but he didn't respond until sunday afternoon!!! SMH! Right now, I dont think Hammond is gonna approve every part of the poster but, hey, its the last week and there is nothing that can be done. I always put my best in everything I do especially if I am working for someone else because I feel that you do no want to leave with a bad name. So if Dr. Hammond does not like it, I hope she just knows that I put my best at it even though I am still a novice at this stuff. Anyway, my time here in College Station, Texas is almost up. The last thing to do is to work on my research paper. So gotta get to work. Peace!!!!
