Busy, busy, busy…

February 21, 2009 at 12:29 pm (Derek's stuff)

So, I haven’t really been updating very much. As a feeble excuse, I’ve been busy with random school crap, including running my school’s anime Japanese Culture Club. 

Here’s a treat (something I posted on DC.com just a second ago): an article from the Wall Street Journal
It’s basically about how Japanese students are reading/saying Obama’s speeches to practice English. 
Interesting, huh? It makes me laugh because it’s being done from a dude at Kaplan Japan. If you don’t know, Kaplan is one of the biggest test (SAT, ACT, AP) prep places/authors around where I live. I’ve got a few of their books on my shelf (sad but true).

The Wall Street Journal is pretty cool about Japan stuff: for example, a while back, they had an article on Lucky Star and its effects on the Washinomiya Shrine and surrounding community. 

Well, I’ll try to update more, but don’t expect too much. :P

Actually, for yall who actually are going to read this, I have a question. What would you want to do in a club about Japanese Culture? What would you expect from it? It’s not that I don’t have idea (sorta), but I want to hear what you think too. Thanks!
