thank GOD training didn't last from 9:30 to 10 pm. i think i would have died if we were kept performing useless tasks all day, confined to a residence hall lobby while sitting around wondering, "why are we still here?" so i took a nap today. :) i think i sleep too much, because that seems to be all i ever want to do. last night, bed by ( Read more... )

i don't know how in the world i have so much flipping stuff. too many clothes, too many books, gifts, everything! i don't know how it's going to fit into two suitcases and not be over the weight limit ( Read more... )

oh god. i don't think i remember anything from about 1am on. i was in brett's car. and then the next thing i remember was getting a glass of water around 6 am once my parents were awake. but i had so much fun. luckily ashley kept a list of everything i drank, so i'll know tomorrow. and she brought a camera :) eventually i'll see pictures of ( Read more... )

i'm sitting here updating lj while drinking a beer. the first beer i ever purchased by myself in america (because that happened several times in japan over the last few days. hey, it was legal.) the sucky thing: the guy didn't even card me! apparently i look too old or something. or maybe he just had a lot of work to do. it was the midnight ( Read more... )

one more day! well, about 10 more hours. i can't wait! well, i've been waiting for about 5 years now, i don't think another few hours will kill me.

biological clock slowly being restored to normal. woke up at 1:20 today (instead of 4:00). i guess staying awake reading probably doesn't help though...

i had a really strange dream last night, and the only thing i can remember is that my flexors wouldn't work. i could extend my arms and legs out straight, but then i couldn't bend them back. i had to physically use my other to bend the stiff limbs back into shape. hard to explain, it was strange ( Read more... )

well i'm back in the states. which is sad, because i'm not in japan hanging out with my sister. we went to breakfast in portland to "the hot cake house" off of the ross island bridge because we haven't been in a while. and since we were already in portland around breakfast time, i thought, why not? the flight over was a bit long, and painful ( Read more... )

hm. 3:00pm PST and my friends wall hasn't changed a bit. what are you people doing???? while you've been wasting the day actually doing something and not updating lj, i've been playing game after game of websudoku. i think staying awake these two hours has just about killed me. but if that means i'll sleep for 9 hours straight, then i'm all ( Read more... )

oh wow, last night in japan, so we went out to tokyo! clubbing all night. place called vanilla, that took forever for us to find, and once we did they only gave us two discount tickets for four people. and also, said that the age limit was 20 for women, 23 for men. so we had to sneak me in. which meant all of standing in line behind my sister ( Read more... )

wow, last day in japan already. last night we went to kawagoe, did some last minute shopping, ran into sarah's friend john and his friend T randomly. was quite eerie actually as we randomly chose the same restaurant the night before (at the same time). I bought a jacket with japanese writing on it, because i thought it looked cool, so now i can' ( Read more... )
