dorm room post dinner - slightly overcast today. I forgot to mention a funny episode that happened yesterday! When I was coming back to the dorm after work I was hurrying to catch the subway train. It was just about to leave when I was rushing down the stairs to the platform. I leapt down the last few steps and made a mad dash for the nearest door. I jumped onto the train and the doors closed behind me a second later. Before I could even feel relieved, a group of four middle aged women all started clapping around me!! They had watched my crazy run and jump and were impressed and amused by it! One woman made the baseball umpire signal and said "SAFE!" in English!! It was so funny! Then they complimented my hair!! I didn't know how to react at all! I started to respond in Japanese but the English speaking woman confused me and it came out an unintelligible garble of English and Japanese. Finally with my wits collected I managed a passable response and rode on to my stop with no further excitement. But it certainly was a rush getting into that train car!!
Today I read my library book (The Hobbit). I went to Japanese lessons at my part time job and found out my cookies had been selling well the whole day with glowing reviews. I felt relieved at that b/c I had been worried about the second batch. Yesterday while making them the electric mixer completely died on me! I had to mix the second batch of batter by hand. At first I didn't know if I would be able to do it. But though it took much longer and though my right arm was quite tired I managed to blend everything together using nothing but elbow grease! I was kind of proud of myself but was unsure of how they would turn out. But the reviews say they are tasty. Goes to show that you don't need fancy equipment to make something edible! (It is just way easier if you have the fancy equipment.)
I will now continue to read my book! :3
