I always start writing these entries about my weekend on Sunday night, get too tired to finish them and end up posting them on Monday. orz ( Read more... )

I was going to post this entry last night, but I was too tired. My weekend was a bit busy, but it was fun.

On Saturday I had a second date with Yoichiro. Once again, I had a good time. I met him in Yokohama (because he also happens to live in Yokohama) because he'd offered to show me around the city. We lucked out because the weather said it was ( Read more... )

This has been another three day weekend for me, though yesterday was the only day I did anything noteworthy. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon in Ikebukuro with meepalicious, serria, and corvae_regina. It was a lot of fun to just geek around Ikebukuro like we used to!  We had ramen for lunch and ate at a cheap (but good) izakaya for dinner. In-between we went shopping. I finally ( Read more... )

I'm waiting for my new battery to arrive, but until then it's going to be hard for me to do anything online. I have a lot that I want to talk about, ( Read more... )

The speech at the opening ceremony went well, even though I was nervous about speaking in front of everyone. I was worried that I might have spoken too fast, but Hasegawa-sensei told me that I did fine and that I didn't look nervous, so that's good ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to mention that tomorrow is the first real day of school at my high school. This involves the opening ceremony and me giving a speech to the entire school. Then, I start officially teaching on Tuesday. I'm trying to not get too nervous about all of this, but it's hard not to. I'm sure I'll be fine once I get started though ( Read more... )
