i'm sitting here in the libaray waiting for the rain to stop or at least get a little less wet before i set off on my walk home and yet getting this strange feeling that that's like just not going to happen. it's gloriously gloriously wet outside and getting even more so and in the short span of a coupla days the temperature has dropped from burning hot to cool on the verge of cold. not that i'm complaining but walking home in the rain is a sure way to get a cold. I have a test tomorrow too but I really wnat to walk because i didn't make it to kawaramati in time to walk to school today so I really just want to walk home but it's sucky weather to be walking in i guess. *sigh* At least, I've accomplished most of my homework. All that's really really left is to study for tomorrow's test *aargh* I hate tests. I like them much better when they're mcq.. (that is when I can actually guess the answers and I'm not likely to know much) mcqs where i have to actually get a really high score suck *lol*

it's me again and yesterday was another holiday. which means a short week this week made even shorter by the fact that we're leaving on the okayama trip this friday. On the flip side though it means i don't have a lot of time to get work done since I know better than to think that i'll have any time over the weekend to get work done at all. I am looking forward to staying on a farm though I think it would be an experience.

So here i am ostentatiously doing my homework on my computer but in actuality waiting for my stuff to download :-p
I do have a bunch of homework plus a major test tomorrow so I should really do that instead though. ah well... back to the daily grind of life.

yay I'm back again after a short break from no computer in school. And I had the greatest weekend. On saturday, I watched Shrek with Chanda, and yesterday I went down to Umeda to go shopping at Hanshin with Derek. We also had Kaiten Sushi... karaoke that was half-priced... and I have a green oversized kappa on my bed now! *beams* it's sooo cute and cuddly. Oh and we bought mangas to read. Now other than homework.. life is good.

added to that i had a danceparty in the lounge earlier with Danny, Amanda and Chanda so I'm happy. funny that the brown people are the ones who love the dance. I think I'm the worse at it though but i do have rhythmn i just have to learn how to move my body.

we went to have some kind of erm hot plate fry your own food in sauce kind of thing yesterday and it was cheap for a buffet. *grin* we paid like 1500 yen for tabehodai and 500 for nomihodai. and beer was in the nomi hodai *grin* gave kelvin his present and basically had a lot of fun *grin*

hello everyone again. *waves madly*
yep it' s me again surprise surprise. basically I blog when I bother to lugh my huge heavy laptop to school. which I'm beginning to think may not be that often. it is heavy. well not really heavy but heavy enough for me.
anyway so I went to book-off yesterday and bought 3 mangas. they're not as good as karekano though *sob sob* but we'll see whether they get better. I really have to go buy 12 of KareKano. I need to find out what happened to tsubasa and kazuma. I like Kazuma. he's cool.
hmm.. as usual I get the feeling that I eat too much here. but i don't htink I've actually gained much weight. like maybe half a kg. I need to def. started working them off more or something.
On the classes front, I still haven't decided what to do yet.... On one hand I really don't wnat to take the politics class but on the other it might be easier to score than in the other classes. maybe I'll take the philosophy class. I'm slightly scared of the noh and kyogen class.

Ate today so far: Bread, fruit, cheese, coffee
Calories: again I have no idea.
I didn't walk to school today. I've stopped walking to school for the time being until it cools down becuase it is simply TOO HOT to walk to school and have class right after. I need some cool down time. Today, actual classes start full swing. so it's going to be japanese classes in the morning and regular classes in the afternoon. I've decided to shop a couple of classes until I decide which ones to take. that might take a while but I really should decide soon so I can buy my books.
I bought a KeiTai on saturday! I can be contacted now! ain't that great?? I also need a denshi ziten which apparently I'm going to buy over from derek. but that doesn't really solve my problem of needing it right now!! :-p so I'm going to get it next week i guess.
I also spent sunday at Chanda's in sweet sweet air condition. It's supposed to get cooler by now but it hasn't so it's like singapore weather.. arrgh I can't wait for fall.

September 3rd.. 9pm..

I�m sitting here in my host family�s house in Japan where I�ll be spending the next three months of my life and already I can barely believe that a week has past. We have yet to settle into our schedule of daily life so I guess this still all has a slightly holiday feel to me, not to mention the lack of homework yet. Well, this will all pass all to soon. Actual Japanese classes start tomorrow. We did the placement test and I placed a lot higher than I thought. I�m presently in D class. The classes here are arranged in descending order from F, which consists of two people who are fluent. As a result I am actually kekko high on the placement order which scares me a little. On one hand I want to learn as much as possible and hopefully place in level 2 JLPT at the end of the year but on the other I don�t want to do badly on tests and things..
Well back to the original point, which was host family. I guess life is pretty good. I live pretty far from school but I don�t really mind the commute. I might mind more when school starts and I actually have homework but for the moment it�s alright. At least I�m getting exercise and I need it! Okasan�s food is sooo good. I�ve had a different kind of Japanese food each day for dinner! I�m definitely going to get fat if I don�t exercise. So I guess the combined two hours of working each day has a use after all!
My Japanese would hopefully get better across time as my host family doesn�t speak much English at all. As for the Center, well all the American students tend to speak English to each other *grin*
Can�t wait to get my Kei Tai.. that�s a handphone. And I really need one here since I don�t even have use of a home phone!

had for lunch: Bento from store and milk tea
Calories: I have no freaking idea. *grin*
nobody outside of america actually lists any calorie thingys on the sites it seems that is really really strange.
but yeah here I am in Japan and typing on the school computer cause i don't have anywhere else to type on.. *sob sob* sad huh? *grin*
but i really need to get a phone soon. and sicne I'l be positing the intro msg eventually I won't type it again here.

placed in D class which is DIFFICULT. *lol* that's what it should really stand for. E must be for Excruciating then since it's even higher. :-p
