First, midterms and tests finished. Then I can't really remember, cuz i realize it was nearly a month ago that i updated last...
October 30th was a Halloween costume contest at my school. It was quite amusing to watch! Some of the costumes were really bad. I really wished I dressed up, but I never did find a good costume. Soo.....bleh. Oh well. Then i went and had yakitori for dinner. Imagine chicken shishkabobs people.
Kuzuha mall: Uhm, I found a cute souveneir to bring home for somebody. I ate baskin robins Ice cream at lunch---to cool my mouth down i swear. I ordered this "Red Spicy German Dog" and let me tell you that was the spiciest hot dog I'd had in my life (good hot dog not crappy american mystery meat). I needed the ice cream to cool my mouth down. Lucky me, it was on sale since it was halloween.
We then tried to go to this restaurant in Hirakata called "the hobbit" that has food from all around hte world. There were like 6 of us at that point and Diego decided to be proactive and talk to the restaurant owner---who had indeed lived Diego's dream and travelled to a ton of countries, around the world, for a year. But because it was apparently a halloween party it was fancy hors d'ouvoirs only, or however you spell that wretched word. Is there an anglicized version for my usage? So we left after a little while, hungry still and went to a restaurant. The group got smaller: down to four after dinner at the Seizeria (italian) and then we went to karaoke. It's fun, but its not my favorite thing. Apparently I suck at singing. Go figure. So surprised. Shellshocked, really.
Can't remember what I did the next day: probably studied.
Then the 3rd was a day off of school. Tuesday (think it was the third) and la la la! I went to Osaka Castle with Diego. it was really fun! and pretty! Lol: I wish that I had a picture Diego made me take on his camera of him. He decided to be a little kid and play with the cannon. let me just mention that people who aren't big fans of cafeteria-style japanese food should NOT find themselves hungry at Osaka-jo!
Oooh and the Panasonic center was amazing (we saw it on the way to osaka castle). Nanotechnology! for cleaning!!!!! and there was this great photo gallery that we saw, and we ate delicious crepes (the guy making them was sooooo cool!) and since the day before had gotten wicked cold and that day was too, i bought a winter hat. I brought gloves, scarfs, coats...but no hat! lol. I got dragged into another pokemon store. And a tech store: yodobashi camera. That store was actually pretty cool though! it had like 9 levels. b1, b2, then up to seven. but six and seven had no tech--they were restaurants and clothes shopping. Found Diego some nice Isotoner gloves there.
Then classes. classes. Classes. Then Saturday: Okaasan's friend and her teenage daughter came over and I was asked to talk to the daughter. Interesting. I made dinner. It went over well, but I didn't realize we were having a guest so ..... I wish I'd gotten more! People weren't starving or anything at all, but I felt like a little more would've been good. Then Sunday I spent time with my friends, just chilling at the dorms for the day.
Monday was Okaasan's birthday. We went out to dinner. Had lots of cake when Okaasan's friends came over. Poor Ryoichi was the only male in the house! 8 women: 1 male. He hid in his room. Smart or foolish?
Tuesday was time for me to be an idiot! Yay me ala London. ... You want to know what I did? I fell down the stairs!!!! Bounce, bounce, bounce.....foot, arm, butt. The latter two hit every stair as I went down, and I fell on the top of 14 stairs....I don't think anyone was home, since nobody came running at the horrible racket. Might I mention the stairs aren't carpeted? They happen to be a nice solid hardwood, which is why my slippered-foot slipped so easily. Today my right foot (the one that hit a few stairs) is swollen. My right arm is tender and i don't want to rest it on a hard object, and my butt hurts to sit, wo lay on my back, to go upstairs.... Nothing seems to be broken, but I can definitely not say that I escaped without bruises! Owwwieee.....
Today was the school's anniversary, so there weren't any classes. Yay. I slept in. Then I headed out to the dorms to study a bit. We tried to watch Watchmen but theres some technical problem with the disc that i can't begin to accurately explain. God forbid I explain it wrong! Which brings me to now, laying in bed, cuz that hurts my butt slightly less, but it is STILL throbbing...I hate myself. I really do sometimes. At least my clutziness. .... and I always give people dirty looks when they're constantly pulling me back thinking I'm going to hurt myself....where were my guardian mother hens this time?????
Oh! I've also been working on some things for classes in the spring. I will not be taking a winter 3 class. Which means I have all of January off of school. I will be taking 17 credits this spring. Pre-practicum class for social work (the practicum is my senior project that i have to do all of senior year basically--next spring), social statistics (math), Global Capitalism and Neo-Colonialism Inequalities (sociology with one of my favorite professors), Asian Philosophy, and Stained Glass 1! Sorry no project requests until I learn more about what I'll be required to do in the class! Yay!
I requested my housing for this spring. Dunno where I'll be until sometime in January. Too bad, eh?
Alright, I can't think of much else to say. Hearts to everyone,
Jessi
