01/08/10 Inuyama Inn noonish - After I finished the last entry I went back to the room and talked and studied with my roommates until dinner. We also had tea and I wished I had another red bean cake. :d At dinner I sat next to Tana and Kyu. Dinner was fantastic again and in the same room as the night before. All different food and most of it delicious. Afterwards a bunch of students started singing together. Mostly they sang Disney songs but it was very entertaining. Amanda lead Melinda and Jayla in a thriller dance around the room. Kaede san our IES babysitter for the evening (I don’t know where Satoshi Sensei was) looked very amused too.

After that I went and did my homework and then went to the Ofuro. I washed my hair, which is so much easier to do with the setup they have. When I finished braiding it I headed into the bath and soaked for a while but since I was alone I only stayed in a few minutes. When I got back to the room I talked with Tana for a while and looked over all our materials. I went to bed at 11:30. I got up at 7 after another very restful night. I went to breakfast and enjoyed it thoroughly. Satoshi Sensei was back and I sat at his table. I drank 6 glasses of milk this time. :d They had apple yogurt which was ridiculously yummy. I went and checked my email and then went to class at 9. Today was the last class and we played fun review games. We played a jeopardy type game and my team was the Plushies because Nia, one student, brought two plushies with her and carries them around everywhere. She was on our team and of course her plushies were with her so we named ourselves the Plushies. The other team named themselves the samurai. We won! Plushie power!! Koizumi Sensei gave us her email address and wished us luck. Then I came here to write my entry for the day. At 1:30 we are all meeting in the lobby to go visit Inuyama castle and we are also going to watch a tea ceremony somewhere in there. Should be a fun time. I will be taking tea ceremony as one of my classes at Nanzan University. I better pay attention! ^__^ Well that’s all for now because I’m back to the present again. 12:50 (Japan time)
