All of my posable figures are dying to go with me - so much so that they’ve actually helped me pack for the trip [...]

Disclaimer: I was clearing my files and I found a series of short (100-350 words) expositions on readings I did for my Japanese Studies 101 course - so I thought - why not post them up?
