To cover the events that were still in the future at last entry:

I finished my papers the day before yesterday! Yay, real summer break~
Kind of related, I also found out that Kage-sensei is taking a one-year sabattical at UofM next year! In the Political Science department and Center for Japanese Studies. Why, may major is poli sci, and my minor Japanese... I guess I'll see her there. XD

Kendo was fun, though kinda sad. I was also told that my tare is done (I don't actually remember ordering it or anything... But I'll totes be happy to get it), so I guess I'm definitely going next week to get it. XD

Yesterday was great fun, though definitely did renew my feeling of needing improve my listening comprehension. We bowled int he morning (Sakoya is so good fff), had Yakiniku for lunch (I am depressed that my body no longer is happy to eat a ton of meat with nothing else), bummed around for a while, went to karaoke, and finally izakaya. I'm sure it'll be the last time I see some of them before I go to the US... But hopefully not all of them. XD

Today I have many errands to do before boarding the night bus with Etienne and Satoru to Aomori this evening. I guess I should get out and do them~
