I found my tennis shoes!
Jun. 12th, 2007 11:26 amYou'd think that I'd have some crafty Japanese saying to head these lovely entries. But honestly? There are some things that need to be expressed in English. The finding of tennis shoes is one of them.
And I have to admit: Neil Told Me So.
He told me I'd better take my tennis shoes because there's no way I'd be able to do the kind of walking around that someone does in another city with my sandals. He was right. I admit it. Only after coming home the other day, putting my feet up on the bed, and actually having them cramp from being walked so hard in shoes that were not made to walk.
But the walking was worth it!
( little moments from Meiji Shrine and Harajuku )
( adventures in Shinjuku discount shopping )
Oh, and I suppose I should actually acknowledge that I'm totally tickled as pie to be back in school again. Even though taking the longest test in the world definitely hurt a lot, I'm glad to be placed into the class that I'm in. We're doing a whole bunch of review, and I simply love the long day format (3 hours of instruction, break for lunch, another hour or so). It feels so much better to me to be going through multiple grammar structures and to use them all in the same day!
There's news on the homestay front (since our homestay is next week) but it's 1:30 am here, and I should really get my butt to bed so I sleep a little before tomorrow! Goodnight all!
