So this weekend is the school festival. Today I am stuck watching/helping with the high school speech contest and tonight I am eating dinner with Marie and her aunt, should be lots of fun. But tomorrow, I am free to do everything at the festival, which I plan on doing! My roommate, Nozomi, is doing a Sato Ceremony (Tea Ceremony). Definitely going to stop by there, and I have to get some of Suzuki's baseball club's Yakisoba. I am so excited, I can't wait!! [View Full Entry]

So this weekend was the BEST!!! On Friday, I went out to eat with Yuka, Aimi and Hunter to a bar b que place (Japanese bar b que, not American). It was so good. And I finally got some salad which I had been craving for weeks now. (there is no real ranch here, all the ranch here is mayonnaise, yuck!) But I found a sesame seed dressing which is AMAZING!!!!! So yummy! Then we watched a scary movie, in Japanese. Not scary at all, I actually ended up laughing through most of it. On Saturday, I was planning on just [View Full Entry]

I am exhausted. Classes have gotten a bit stressful, lots of work to do, EC and TA is getting exhausting, and sleep is getting lost to studying. Yesterday, I actually had a relaxing day. Stresses disappeared and I felt revitalized. Exactly what I needed. Noriko is back, and I'm happy about that! YAY. I plan on doing very little this weekend. it will be good. [View Full Entry]

So the weekend was really quiet and kinda boring. Friday night, went with Hunter, Phillip, Takaaki, Aimi and Yuka to Kabasushi. It's the first sushi place I've been to since being here. It's funny, even the crappy sushi in Japan is better than the expensive sushi in America. Anyways, it's a place where the sushi moves on a conveyor belt and/or you can order it and it comes on a really neat train. I forgot my camera, so I didn't get a picture of anything, but I will be going again. It's only a dollar a plate!!! So cheap!!! Saturday and [View Full Entry]

So the weekend was very restful. Friday, I went with Hunter, Phillip, Akemi and Yuka to Takaaki's place, one of my EC students, and we hung out there for awhile. It was a lot of fun. Today, we had our second week of EC. My first group went SOOOOOO much better than last week. I was missing one girl, so there was only 3 of us, but they wanted to learn the song Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer, and Hey There Delilah by The Plain White T's. We went over our time. But they were great today. I had [View Full Entry]

So yesterday, Hunter, Yuka, Akemi and I went downtown and got our alien registration cards (well Hunter and I got ours, the other two don't need them). Everyone was saying that they had to wait forever at City Hall, but we went in, handed our papers in and after like 2 min, we got our cards. Then the 4 of us went to soft bank. We were there for almost 3 hrs, but Hunter and I are now the only people in the group who have cell phones!! They are nice too. We have been having fun playing with them and [View Full Entry]

So, I followed the trend of my other travel mates and got skype. So now I can talk to people in the US on Skype, I can even make phone calls, well, that is I could if I had a VISA or Mastercard, I may check out paypal though, we shall see. That's all that's been going on. A little lonely now that Chu is gone, went to Power Mart with Anna, which was interesting because she's English about as much as I know Japanese, but she and I have definitely become close. Last night was hilarious. We played Batsu Uno, [View Full Entry]

So, Friday, a few people saved a kitten, not even 3 weeks old, from being run over and starvation, so everyone in the dorm has been helping to keep her alive. Mainly Phillip, Shu He and I have been taking care of her. I named her Chu (or Chu-Chan) because she kept kissing my nose. I was the one who got her to start eating. She is doing soooo much better now, and she is going to a new home this evening, I am sad to see her go, but glad someone is going to take care of her, and they [View Full Entry]

So my pop culture class was cancelled, which meant after Japanese I was done. Ran into Akemi and she wanted to go to the mall and asked if I wanted to, I said sure. So she drove (which was extremely weird because in America I was sitting in the driver seat but not driving) to the mall and we went up to the food court to get some lunch. I bought her KFC which was a million times better than ANY KFC in the US. The chicken, it was juicy, not dried up and tiny, but big and juicy. Then we [View Full Entry]

Ok, so not much happening still. Lots of studying and stuff, about it. I loaded two more albums, but the bad thing is, I thought it was 50 images per album, no, it's 50 images total. So I am not quite sure what I am going to do now. I shall think of some way of adding more images, so what I am going to try and do, take off an album and add an album a week, see if I can do that. That's all I have today, sorry for not much going on, but now that classes are going, [View Full Entry]
