Japanese Class

You will only find 3 types of people in a Japanese class no matter where you attend.  One is your crazy Japanese loving otaku fan with their kawaii neko crap, second is your somehow Japanese blood related student who finally thinks they should get in touch with their other culture, and third is your Japanese student who just needs the extra credits in order to be considered full time so might as well take a class that you can easily ace.  Although it is kind of interesting to see what a mix race would look like because in most people you can't really tell until you hear what their last name is then you're just like wtf you're *fill in the blank*!  Who would of thunk it? 

 
I like your thinking indeed!

My Japanese Teacher

My current Japanese teacher is such a clown although she does speak words of wisdom in her humorous banter.  She told us about how her first husband was like 12 years younger than her and her second and current husband is 2 years younger than her because she likes them young since women outlive men so she told the girls to find themselves a young guy haha.  She told us that we are all young so we should go have fun and explore the world while we still can because once you get married and have kids then it's all over and that was what she did when she was younger.  She traveled the world and had her fun until she ran into her first husband and got married but of course in her mind she is forever 28 year old.  She told us when she was a kid about 10 year old, her father took her to the public bath and that was where she learned to swim...in the men's public bath.  She did pretty well because she was the #1 champion junior free style swimmer in Osaka until she quit swimming in junior high.  Apparently in college she was a cheerleader, but it is pretty hard to imagine your teacher being able to do stuff like that but then again Japanese people have always been crazy like that.

In other news, I went to the Akimatsuri awhile ago and it was a bit of a disappointment.  I expected it to be more of what a festival was in Japan because the Gion festival was pretty awesome.  This was just too much American because they were selling hamburgers, hotdogs, tacos, burritos, etc.  I expected more Japanese food like takoyaki, mochi, etc.  I mean they did have daifuku, udon, bento boxes, dango but I wanted more!  They didn't even have the goldfish scooping game but instead they had a game where you toss a ping pong ball into little fish bowls to win a goldfish.  I remember the goldfish I won at Gion, I left them in the toilet in my dorm room when I left to go home to America.  The security guard found them after I left and dumped them in the river.  I took some with me in a Coke can which freaked the customs guards in Osaka but they were like just keep it closed instead of confiscating it.  The fishes survived to San Fransisco but they were near dying so I just flushed them.  Anyways, I did play a somewhat fishing game and won the coolest prize in the world!  It's a cute little seal doll in a removable goldfish custom!

Coolest thing ever!

 
He's not complaining.

Oh Snaps I Forgot

 How funny, I forgot to include my skit in my previous entry.  There I was, going on and on about how great my skits were and yet I forgot to share!  Although I do need to come up with another crazy skit for our final skit.  Anyone have any crazy ideas out there?  But keep in mind that it has to be simple enough for me to write in Japanese.  I was thinking of making a crime scene investigation where 2 detectives try to figure out what killed the victim and of course we are pointing fingers at the ham sandwich.

A:  Did you already eat yet?

B:  No, I didn't eat yet.  (Eats money)

A:  Why?

B:  I ate my money therefore I have no money.

A:  Liar!  Really?

B:  Yeah, you were late therfore I became hungry.

A:  Sorry!  But, there's a Mcdonalds over there.

B:  Ah!  I forgot.

I'm loving it

Laugh Or Else You Suck

So today my Japanese class had another skit which of course everyone was pretty lost in terms of listening comprehension and of course my random lines doesn't help either.  It's random which is why they should all be paying attention in the first place.  The semester is near its end and there's only one more skit left to do.  I wonder what kind of skit will I create next?  It has to be awesome or else I just might shit sushi for my failure at awesome skit writing.  Also, I bombed my lesson 9 quiz today so I guess I should finally for once start studying on my own but then again that would require effort so...no!

What a fun ride!

Mind Boggling

It is mind boggling to think about the secrets of Japanese culture.  Japan is an unique culture that no other culture can compare to.  It consists of its cute side to perverted stuff to super weird stuff.  If  you are an avid anime viewer then you would know how ecchi most anime can be.  We see super short skits and shorts, bouncing melon boobies, panties and bras at every corner.  So the question is, are Japanese really that perverted?  Perversion is a part of their culture in the anime world so are there really panty thieves roaming around the city stealing panties from unsuspecting ramen slurping babes?  I'm sure there are.

Meron Meron~

Creativity Will Save You

You have to think outside of the box because if you're in the box then dude you're in a freaking box like a hobo because only the homeless lives in a box.  I think you already know by now that I really advocate people to be as creative and original as they can be because only then can anyone reach their full potential.  You already know how uber of a skit writer I am which is why people need to step up their game and stop boring me with their lame skits in class.  My previous skit was a bit disappointing though because I really wanted one of the guys to read person A which would have made the skit even more hilarious but my guy volunteer refused to read it because he didn't want to sound like a freak which wouldn't really matter because it's not like anyone is great in listening comprehension anyways.  So a girl ended up being person A and we all ended up cracking up throughout the whole skit. 

Perfect score yo!

Another Great Skit

Once again, I came up with an awesome skit in my Japanese class that cracked the class up although they probably didn't understood a thing that was going on except for the terms that I wrote on the board so most likely they were just cracking up whenever I said any of those terms.  Everyone's skit was once again pretty boring so the only funny ones were the ones that used props or tried to act things out but their lines were anything but funny.  My skit didn't have props or anything but the key term itself was funny alone.  I really wanted to say something else but since I didn't know how to say it, I had to keep it simple like so.

A:  Did you work for the lingerie shop last year?
B:  Yes, I am working there now.
A:  Are the panties cheap?
B:  Yes, they are cheap and pretty.
A:  I really love panties.
B:  Oh really?  Do you want to go see?
A:  Really?  Let's go!

We'll see about that!

Where's the Imagination?

People are so boring when it comes to making up a skit and performing one infront of the class.  The lines are so lame so obviously no one would try to pay attention to what they are trying to say.  Where's the darn imagination?  The skits are usually along the lines of:

A:  Hello.
B:  Hello to you too.  How are you today?
A:  I am good.  Would you like to go to a movie?
B:  No, thanks.  I have to go study.
A:  Do you want to go study together?
B:  Sounds good, let's go.

Isn't that just boring and played out?  It's easy to understand but who even wants to pay attention to something like that?  I tend to phase out when others are doing their skits unless of course I know something funny or interesting is going to happen.  My skits are just totally awesome like this:

A:  It's boring isn't it?  Today would you like to go play tennis at the park at 4 PM?
B:  Sounds good but at 2 PM I am going to go to the toilet department store to take pictures of toilets.
A:  That sounds good...but why?
B:  When I was a kid I always loved toilets because Japanese toilets are awesome.
A:  Oh?  Really?  They are great aren't they?  Shall we go and see?
B:  Yes, let's go and see!

See?  Isn't that just much more entertaining and worth listening to?  Although it's really a shame because even though everyone is paying attention, it means nothing if they do not comprehend.  They just know that they're suppose to laugh but at what?  The only person that really gets what's going on is the teacher.  My brilliance is such a waste!

A+ in my mind!

Rate My Professor

If I was a teacher, I wonder if I would even know what any of my students are saying about me on ratemyprofessors.com because they could be saying some pretty insane comments.  I have read some of the comments on a few of my professors but it appears to me that if they received a bad grade then their comments would obviously be negative as well and vice versa.  For instance, a history teacher of mine received mostly negative comments because he grades very harshly and favored pretty girls whereas my Japanese teacher received high praises because she gives lots of extra credit and made it hard to not pass her class.  I wonder if students should point this out to their teachers.  Hey teach, did you know that your previous students are calling you an egotistical and clueless teacher?

How would semen be found in the women's bathroom?  Hmm!
