Oh boy, another week is gone, this internship is going by too quickly! Halfway done now. Things continue to be more productive at work, I feel like I'm contributing something now as opposed to being the newbie that is slowing everyone else down while they have to explain everything to him. Communication is slowly improving. There are a few people at work I can converse with decently now. There's some people I have a really hard time with because of either their voice/manner of speaking or or the grammar they use, or both. Oh well I'll figure it out. I'd like to write more about the internship work, but I don't want to cross any confidentiality boundaries.
On Friday, I got kind of soaked going home from work because I still have not bought an umbrella. We wanted to go out, but since it was kind of nasty out, we stayed in and watched this Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji movie, based on this manga/anime series of the same name. I don't think me and Yan understood much, but Karen had read the manga or watched the anime before, so she explained it all to us. It was pretty interesting. Basically this guy has some debt to a yakuza like organization, and he has to gamble his way out of it, or spend his life as an indentured servant. The way the main actor played the role was kind of annoying though, he just basically cried and complained the whole time.
Saturday night we were invited to our work friend Ogura's house again for dinner and drinks, but this time we planned ahead and paid for him. We played the same drinking game we played last friday, and it was just as loud as before, but at least it wasn't in the hotel.
Sunday I had plans to meet my coworker Daigo from VV, who's working in Tokyo at Square Enix now.
It was a Namco arcade I guess, so we played some Tekken, we all lost badly to Daigo. Maybe he's related to this Daigo.
Then I went home and played a ton of Final Fantasy 13. Man this game won't end. I hope I can finish it soon, I really need to start playing something else!
