1. There were random Polish business people walking behind me today on the way to lunch! I totally did a double take when I heard them and one of them saw that I had and was probably all like "what a spaz ( Read more... )

Don't worry, I'm not planning on writing this in Japanese. Gotta save that up for the class blog. The title is A. probably not proper Japanese in any way shape or form and B. pretty relevant to my day. Or at least my class ( Read more... )
