Boredy-bored

So, here I am, sitting around before my dad takes me shopping. I'm feeling a LOT better from last week, which basically means that I'm still a little congested and my head still feels fuzzy from the week of almost no sleep, but it doesn't hurt to breathe and I'm able to breathe. Woo hoo! I'm also feeling all jazzed up because I've been searching ( Read more... )

::hugs::

That IS scary! An hour away? Dude. I don't know if I could do it. You? You can do it. Me? I'd run and hide.

I'm only going because they have cat petting zoo things that you can hang out in. Seriously, only reason like WHOA.

Yeah, I think in regards to setting up things by my own, my favorite phrase that I will use in every establishment I go to (i.e. the bank) will be "eigo o hanasu hito ga imasu ka ( ... )

Seriously, live in a suicide house! That's so odd how they do that. I'm sure you will figure the money stuff out, or else no one would be able to live there. Especially poor gaijin. I really want you to go up to someone and say that, just to see their face.

Another girl that had gone to Hikone two years ago told me that she spent twice as much money there as she had with her or something. Freaked me out until Warren-sensei said that if you *gasp* BUDGET than you'll be fine.

And random JordanLab day today apparently. Weirdness.

Yeah, I feel weird when he's around. Maybe it's because he knows so much more and it makes me feel stupid in lab when he's there.

Last year I talked to a senior who went to Kyoto, and she said that she spent $10,000 when she was there...it's like good god, were you out drinking every night? buying kimonos? eating whatever rare and expesive foods exist in Japan? Gah. It's crazy. I'm trying just to add as little to my debt as possible.

How did I miss your Grandma dying? I am so sorry. We need to talk more often.

I'm sure you'll do just fine in Japan. I'll try my hardest to come visit you while you're there.

lizoraveriam February 20 2006, 19:31:23 UTC

Well, it never really comes up in conversation :-P. "Salamanders are really cool, and speaking of salamanders my grandma died..." a.k.a. best seque EVER. We do need to talk more, it's gone from IM everyday to me forgetting that I own a freaking CELL PHONE and can CALL PEOPLE. I'm good at this game.

Yeah, I'm still the only person I know who even applied to Denmark, and at first I was like "ooh! I'll be independent and learn to rely on myself instead of others and I'll break the K bubble...this'll be great!" and now I'm completely terrified of going by myself, just cuz I'll have to do everything all on my own...so I definately understand your worries there.

dorkyhobbit February 20 2006, 18:47:11 UTC

That's really cool! My aunt actually went to Denmark and she loved it! Seriously, that's awesome!

lizoraveriam February 20 2006, 19:29:31 UTC

We should form a club for people that want to be independent and stuff but then realize that having a temporary back-up group would just be GREAT :-P

musicsnob5128 February 20 2006, 20:18:26 UTC

Hell yes! I would be all for that! I sometimes fear I will crack or crumble under the pressure of it...Stupid K.

We need better support systems here methinks.

dorkyhobbit February 20 2006, 18:44:27 UTC

Still, this will be soooo much better for me than Hikone. I'd rather be the insane studying American than the crazy partying American. I think that I can make the best of it if I try. I don't really want to be with a bunch of party people, either...but there's not much I can do in that department except take it as seriously as I can. I am glad that Kyoto is only 1/2 hour away, because then I can get away from it all every once in awhile! Too much time in a small city=:( So I am jealous of you guys in that respect XP. In the end it just came down to that fact that I would feel more comfortable in Hikone, even though I won't be able to have the completely "immersed" feeling...blergh.

lizoraveriam February 20 2006, 19:28:54 UTC

I'm sure you guys will have a great experience and get really immersed, I just know that if I went to Hikone I'd just wander around bitching about people keeping me up at night and being stupid :-P. Then everyone would get sick of me and they'd have to kill me just to get me to shut up :-P.

dorkyhobbit February 21 2006, 03:37:22 UTC

Haha! Awwww. I think I'll just crack and bitchslap loud people if they bother me ^___^
