Sports!

Guess what's rad!: I learned how to say "migraine" in Japanese today!
Guess what isn't!: I had one today.

It might have happened because it was so damn hot today (a bunch of people got heat stroke), or it might just have happened because I get them every once in a while. The worst thing is, I see it coming (literally, my vision blurs) and I can't do jack about it, except find the excedrin for when it hits.

Anyway, the reason the heat was so bad today was because it was the Chinzei Gakuin High School Sports Festival today. They had a bunch of events, but all I did was the Tug-of-War. It was tons of fun and my team won. I was pretty damn sure we'd lose to this one team because they had a mountain of a man as their anchor. Seriously a mountain. It's even in his name. However, we emerged victorious and I'm pretty sure it's all due to the fact that I am a beast.

I also marched with the rest of the Kendo team. Some dude on the soccer team saw me and was all "OOOOH AMERICA SAMURAI". The soccer team was super enthusiastic and really into the whole marching thing, chanting the Japanese equivalent of "left, right, left". The kendo team, however, was a bit more relaxed. We didn't even really walk in time or anything, and just sort of went around the track. Somehow I always seem to pick the sport or team with the absolute least amount of spirit.

Uh so I forgot to post this yesterday but I don't wanna go back and change all the day references to make it correct, so just understand that this all took place yesterday.

Also, other than the sports festival and headache, I got a HUGE bag of Choco Flakes. SO GOOD. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Choco Flakes, it's pretty much just normal corn flakes covered in a thin layer of chocolate. Sounds like it should be gross (chocolate corn?) but it's delicious. And plus, all those chocolate cereals you eat are probably made from corn anyway, so it's not much different from stuff you've already had.

TUG OF WAR! That festival sounds fun...except for the heat strokes and migraines of course. Did the Kendo team have some event set up or were they just there to walk the track?
