Today

I woke up at 6am. Looked over my notes for my history exam, did my grammar homework, showered, and plotted out the revision/rewrite of my final paper for writing class. Went to my last reading class at 10, was in a sour mood, ran into Tae Hee-san afterward, took a picture with her and swapped contact info (she returns to Korea on the 23rd), grabbed lunch and joined classmates in a cram session for the History final. Had the history exam at 1:15, not so overconfident this time. He'd gotten some questions regarding one of the essay questions so decided to give us a freebie, i.e. give us all three questions instead of a random two from which to pick one to answer. I answered the one about Shogun from the 1180s to 1600 in 3 pages, but I'm not so confident I answered thoroughly. It was exhausting, even though it was only like an hour and a half long, and my hand was very cramped afterward. Went to my final religion class as well. So painful, but it was the last class, and I'd missed the two previous. What a terrible class. We "discussed" the same thing every week, and a lot of the time it really just seemed like we were a captive audience for the prof's opinions on and observations of Japanese society. I'm so tired, but I should probably get started on my paper for writing class - the final draft is due by noon tomorrow, and I have to miss class to go pick up my Visa from the Chinese Consulate.
So yes, that means I am done with class.
For now.

Oh, and someone stole my umbrella from the umbrella-holder at the building entrance somewhere between lunch and the first break during Religion class. Whatever, it was ugly and cheap, and they'll probably get more use out of it anyway since I'm not brave enough to ride a bike and hold an umbrella at the same time.

I'll make a real update after exams and stuff. I know y'all want to hear all about my trip to Nikko and first visit to an Onsen and such...
