caught up

2/19/10 room, post dinner- Hey time to get caught up. The test was ok. Listening section was a horror though. Machida Sensei spoke so quickly and softly that I think a Japanese person would have had trouble. L

The mask was a little troublesome because my glasses kept fogging up. I started wearing my glasses instead of my contacts to save 3 minutes in the mornings and I miss my contacts because glasses are pretty inconvenient sometimes.

I got back from school and did homework until late.

The next day my cold was better but I was still tired. This was yesterday and it was day four of me not re-braiding my hair. I could not find time to do it. Now, I have been busy before but it is plain ridiculous these days. Last night I finally combed and re-did it. I watched the Olympics with my host mom a bit before shower time. It was the men’s figure skating event. We also watched a bit of men’s half pipe. I REALLY enjoyed that. Shaun White won (of course).

I did homework after shower time and was so tired afterwards I couldn’t force myself to write an entry.

Today was good. I got a pretty good score on the test. I would have done really well if not for the listening section. I ALWAYS suck at listening tests. Back at the U of R I dreaded them. You would think with all the anime I watch--or used to watch anyway--that I would be good at listening comprehension. But I’m not.

I found out that Kai san is not around 20 like I thought she was. SHE IS 32!!!!!!!!!!!! I was floored by this. She does not look a day over 22!

Well after that revelation I went to religions class. Always wonderful and fascinating. This week we talked about “new religions” and “new new religions”. I was so tired though I was struggling to stay awake during the film we watched. It was partially anime so I was especially interested.

When I got home from school my host mom gave me sakura mochi. It was a miracle again!!! Mochi, matcha, and azuki all in one!!! XD This is the second such siting of my taste bud power combination. Mochi is a rice paste, matcha is green tea powder, and azuki is sweet red bean paste. I was in heaven. ^_^

I will watch Olympics with my host mom tonight. I want to spend time with her whenever I can because I am usually at school or holed up in my room.

It is also a wash hair night. DX After I finish my hair I am going to sleep. It shall be glorious.

I am sure I have forgotten details of the past few days but if I remember them later I will add them.
