I really did mean to!
I meant to post the pictures today.... But I didn't.... Oh well. Tomorrow maybe, and if not, definitely Saturday... At least some will go up. Saturday is a holiday, so no class... Yay!
So, today was kind of a struggle for me... Forced myself to get up, ate some breakfast, then rushed to get ready. No need to worry about being late, really, but oh well. Walked to school with Yuutaro as usual.... Then cleaned the walk like I have all week (excluding Tuesday). Then we went in and started with my love, math! A fractions worksheet (easy!) and a page from the textbook (still easy, though a little hard to understand). There was kanji in my math.... Bleh. It was oku and man, so once I understood what they were it was OK. Math was fine, of course. Then we did some kanji.... I worked from my JPN 102 workbook. After that was a very boring time for me.... It was art, which would usually be fine, but they were finishing a project, so I didn't have anything to do.... So I helped a little, watched a little, yawned a lot.... I was tired!
Once that was finally done, it was lunch time. I have NO idea what we ate, but it was alright. After lunch was dodge ball, of course. Then back inside for cleaning.... I think I might be becoming famous or something. Today a group of 1st graders stood around talking with me. One of them, who was the first one to start it all today, kept saying "hello" and "konnichiwa", then getting other friends and doing it again. I just kind of stood there.... Responding, and laughing awkwardly. Yuutaro showed up for a bit too. It was quite funny, really. They seemed impressed that I could do both English AND Japanese.... Whatever. I'm kind of getting used to it... It's really amusing now.
Last class of the day was social studies.... This seems to be my worst subject, because my mind wanders so much during it... I think the other subjects are a bit more interactive.... If you asked me what it was about today, even a remote idea, I wouldn't be able to tell you..... It didn't help that I was exhausted.
So now I'm thinking about dropping Thursdays too.... Three days in a row (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) is a bit overwhelming. I said I'd decide after next week.... But I've talked to several people about it already. Next week we have Monday off (Sunday is an open house, so we go for that instead), then I'm home Tuesdays (for the afternoon Japanese class), so the three days in a row will be the only days I'm at school.... So I said I'd go and decide what I want to do after that.
After school I walked home (by myself again). I beat both Nanako and Yuutaro to the house. :p Not that we were racing.... But I was the first home. Grabbed my tamagochi, fed the poor thing, then waited for Nanako to get home... And Yuutaro, of course. They were going to do some of the infrared stuff with the tamas.... So I waited for them. Nanako got home first, and started doing the stuff.... They basically sent me lots of presents... :p Woohoo!
After that, I went back to my room. Decided I wanted to try the whole wifi thing.... So I found the tamatown website, and got hooked up. LAter Nana and Yuutaro walked in and were really impressed that I had done that all on my own.... I had already been playing around with it for a little while. That's about all I did this afternoon.... Played around with Tamatown. It's pretty cool.... I almost have 10,000 gochi points now! :p
Great use of my time, I know. I did some more kanji review tonight, after my bath.... Now I'm SOOOO tired... I really need to get some sleep. G'night.

Hi Emi
I am in Texas now.
Do not push yourself too much.
Enjoy yourself-that is what I would like you to do in Japan.
Have a lot of fun and new experience.
I love you.
