Adults Day! and other various items...

So sorry I haven't updated lately, I've been somewhat busy and with finals looming I'll probably become a little bit busier.  But don't worry, i'm still managing to watch 8 hours of tv a day.

Last Monday the 9th was Adults Day in Japan; the day where everyone who turned 20 in the last year is celebrated for becoming an adult.  I turned 20 in that time so i got to celebrate!  It was a little weird as two years ago I essentially celebrated this when I cashed my savings account and bought lottery tickets, I broke even, who would have thought, but it was definitely a great experience and really a once in a lifetime thing.  I went to my ward's ceremony which was basically just some of the officials telling us we're adults but, I was able to go to this with some people from my neighborhood, and got to wear a kimono which was cool!  Afterwards, I went to lunch with my new friends (the people from my neighborhood who's parents know my parents) and some of their old elementary school/middle school friends.  Afterwards and a little later we all went out to dinner and then to karaoke.  (Andrew Millikan, I missed you at Karaoke, but the room was quite small so it would have been hard to choreograph a dance number. )

Today I went to church, then after church the body held a birthday party for a guy who turned 88!  After that I went and played soccer with some friends at a park.  I also through a football around with some random guys I saw playing catch.  It was really nice to do that and was very surprising to see a football in Japan.

Wish me luck, I have a final tomorrow so we'll see how that goes!
