chill in the air and encouragement from an unexpected place

dorm room post lunch - chilly. :D Yesterday I went to language and translation class. Today I went to language and kanji class. Last night I went to Pastel, a near-by place that serves pasta. I was studying a bit after my meal at the table. All of a sudden a Japanese older woman came up to me and wished me good luck with my studies!! I was surprised but managed to stammer a response. It's nice to get encouraged! It has been chilly so I now have a blanket on my bed at night and have made the transition to long sleeves. I also had to wear my jacket today. Nagoya is windy during this time of year. I have work tonight.
