I appreciate the effort, honestly I do, but unfortunately I do not actually know enough Japanese to read the page, let alone find a bathroom in Kyoto. Thanks anyway.
This is my progress thus far. I finally got a good looking 'A' after a few hundred tries. Anyway, I have set my (so-far) best attempt next to my best latin-based English a's, so you can see how horrible my 1st language's writing is.

So yeah I tried further relaxing my arm, and there was significant improvement, so thanks on that. As well, umich.edu's stroke instructions have been added to favorites. And further thanks on everyone else's tips, even that jerk in first post. Unfortunately, the closest college that teaches Japanese is a state away, so that's out. I don't drive. Which is sad, because I'm 20.
I tried sharpening the picture, and brought it down to size, so that it is more visible. As you can tell, I have the crappiest digital camera in the world.
