Japanese class started last night! Really awesome stuff; the teacher seems to have a great knack for making people learn the correct way. No English, no <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaji” target=”_blank”>romaji</a>. From the start we’ll be forced to understand what she’s saying based on her emotion, lots of pointing to pictures, etc. Really fun… After only one class I’ve already picked up quite a lot.<br/><br/>Oh… the subject of this post is my name. She’d scold me for doing this, but it’s ma-i-ke-ru-sa-n in romaji. “Maheekehroo sahn.” Learn it, love it <img src=”http://www.iammike.org/cutenews/data/emoticons/wink.gif”/><br/><br/>I’m not sure what to make of what this does to my schedule. I woke up at 7am yesterday morning, ran, showered, ate breakfast, did everything I was going to get done “at home” (laundry. ran to post office) for the day, got to work at 11am, worked, left for class at 7pm, returned home at 10pm.<br/>
