Hermione Kills Snape!!
That was the line "Joel" gave me to spoils Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. He did it to me I get to do it to you. It is done! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince can be added to my “read” shelf. It looks like I beat my old record of finishing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, with the new book. I got so absorbed in it that it only took about 2 days. The book was pretty good not as good as Goblet of Fire. It did a good job in leaving the reader with a huge question mark over its head. The book wasn’t confusing but it ended with a deadly cliffhanger. I can’t wait to talk to anymore to discuss R.A.B. with. If you read the book then you would know what I’m talking about but if not what’s a few letters? I thought the book was like a big “Save by the Bell’ episode. For those of you who aren’t into HP, this book has a lot of “high school” issues like girls, dating, proms, and etc for the Hogwarts gang. But that was easy looked over for the things they talked about for the next book, the finale. Out of the 6 books out I think I would rank this one, 4. #1 being the best one, Goblet of Fire, #2 Prisoner of Azkaban, #3 Order of the Phoenix, #4 Half Blood Prince, #5 Philosopher’s Stone, and #6 (last) being Chamber of Secrets. I don’t know why but the first two books weren’t as interesting for me. But you do need to go in order of the series so if you plan on reading Harry Potter, push through the first two and the others should be fine.
It has been 2 weeks since Krystal has been away and I’m ready for her return. It’s just a little boring here by myself. My friends have been really good in inviting me over for stuff but its not the same. Actually this past week I went out a lot and I think my wallet is being stressed. I still need to buy a bunch of omiyage for my trip back home. (which shall be very soon) I guess I should be able to buy stuff with my next paycheck. The house should be cleaned up a little before Krystal comes back but I’ve been really lazy not to mention tomorrow’s kickball game.
This past week has been a pretty exciting week. The new JET participants have arrived to Kyoto this past Wednesday. It’s pretty weird seeing them from my point of view. They’re all in culture overload and have the same feelings I had exactly one year ago. For one of the days I was asked to help two guys get their Alien Registration cards and they were asking all the questions I had last year. I can’t believe that it has been a year already. It kind of feels nice to be the Sempai, (older member) for the JET program. The only about this year’s new JET’s is that some of them seem… different. It’s like they’re not going to fit in with the group that I hang out with. Some seem very reserved and shy. I guess they only got here a few days ago but some of them got the right idea about being a little more open and getting to know everyone but some just don’t get the picture. For example one of the girls that came this year has barely said a word to me and the others. She keeps to herself and doesn’t get social. The only person that she talks to is another new girl but at least that girl made some sort of effort. All I know is that you need to have a positive attitude if you want to do JET. You can’t come here just thinking that you’re going to teach and that’s it. I hope it is just shyness but all I can say is that I have already extended my hand in friendship and some of them have not returned the gesture. Ok I think I bad mouthed the new JET’s enough. There’s supposed to be three more coming next week so hopefully they give off a better first impression.
Boogie on Down!
