So, today we got to experience sumo.  And I don`t mean we sat around and watched.  We learned actively.  >.<  At 9, we gathered at school and met our five new classmates - Sarah, Cameron, Dan, Paul, and Jamie.  All are from the US except Jamie, who`s from Scotland.  Nifty~~~ dialect, by the way!  <3  Uh, Sarah`s from Chicago, Cameron and Dan are ( Read more... )

I SAW EVA TODAY!  O_o  But you can wait for that until after everything else.  ~_^

SO I didn`t come back and write after dinner because when we were done, I was told that some friends were coming over.  I didn`t need to be present, but part of the reason they were coming was to meet me, so I stayed downstairs the whole time they were here (about 2 ( Read more... )

So, I gave up the other day.  It`s hard to write every day and harder to write after more than one day because then there`s so much to write!

Saturday night I slept in the tatami heya on a futon.  It was cool.  Actually, it was kinda hot.  The day had been cool and not too terribly muggy, and with the windows in the computer room and tatami room ( Read more... )

Oh boy.  This is another two-day-er so it`ll probably be long... we`ll see~

I`m sad to say that I didn`t make it through Evangelion.  We watched Music Station over dinner.  I don`t like Tohoshinki`s latest single >_>  Then I went into the living room and Hiroshi-san, Yasuko-san, and Gackt joined me, to watch Eva.  Before we got an hour into it, I ( Read more... )

HAY YOU GUYS!  HMM-HMM-HMM!!

Okay, so after finishing this yesterday, I took a walk to Book-Off and Circle-K (I thought it was called Maru-K here, but apparently it`s the same).  Book-off was fab~  I was really excited to see aisles and aisles of manga that was only 105 yen a volume!  I looked at the CDs and manga, trying not to stand out too much ( Read more... )

Gobs of stuff happened yesterday, but I was tooooooo tired from lack of sleep (I haven`t slept properly in over a week) kept me from blogging yesterday.  This`ll probably be a long one.

Let`s start at breakfast yesterday.  I ate the three-day-old donuts.  They were good.  Tasted just fine.  Maybe the humidity kept them moist because it was yummy.  > ( Read more... )

Hello, all.  It`s currently 6:04am.  That may sound early.  Let me tell you, though, I woke up at 4.  I don`t know if it was that I had to go to the bathroom or the sunlight creeping in the windows.  Well, in order to go back to sleep, I closed the curtins (which I had forgotten to do the night before) and went to the bathroom and settled back in ( Read more... )

What can I say?  A lot happened~ and I have some time.  Well, after this it`s a shower and bed because I`m getting up at 7.  Not that it was a problem for me to wake up early today.

I woke up from my nap at 4 because I set an alarm, and I would have slept longer, I`m sure because I was fast asleep when it woke me up.  I dozed for about fifteen ( Read more... )

HEY EVERYONE!!  So I`m in Japan now, borrowing my host family`s computer to do this because they don`t have wireless and there`s no way I`m going to try to mess with their cords to plug my laptiop in. Maybe I can use my computer over at school.  I`ll find out tomorrow.  Here`s what`s gone down so far:

My flight from Dayton to Detroit was fine.  The ( Read more... )

Okay.  Today's the day.  Well, I guess technically it was already the day when I made my last entry.  Details~  Anyway, it was a rough night with my nerves.  >.<  I managed to fall asleep around 2:30 and woke up promtply at 6:30.  Ugh.  So I thought I'd post some details about where I'm  going and what it is that I'm doing in Japan.

~ I'm staying in ( Read more... )
