I'm looking out the window of an internet cafe right now (paid five bucks for a pepsi so I could use the internet for an hour) and I see...people riding by on bikes, a policeman in the rode directing traffic, bikes and more bikes, cars driving on the left side of the ( Read more... )

Today, for those of you who DON"T know....is Wednursday. This is because that is how it is because I decreed it so! I woke up this Wednursday in a huff because of all the shit to do.

Number 1: I picked a stupid folktale and wrote a stupid paper on it...what made me think that the presentation could be prepared for the DAY BEFORE it had to be given?

今、私の頭が痛いですよ！どうしてか？夏と来学期はとてもむずかしらしいです。ぶんぽうはたぶんちがいます、でも。。。

This weekend was kinda sucky....except the part where I watched things with Becky. I didn't have a lot to do...and squandered away my time. Then mom called on sunday and made me worry about finances. I left Becky's and took care of some things, like paying rent and getting some groceries...and looked around for a place to live in the fall. I ( Read more... )

Today I met with Hiroki (and five other people) and tried to listen to and speak in Japanese....mostly that means that after Hiroki said something I would stare blankly a minute until he explained (or attempted to explain) a few words in English...and when Hiroki asked me a question I would stare blankly for a minute think REALLY REALLY HARD, ( Read more... )
