Jul. 19th, 2011 02:24 amfirst off, i have now discovered something i hate worse than sweating while swimming! (ok, i don't totally hate it, but it does feel gross). But what feels worse is walking home in the pouring rain when it's like 100% humidity with your umbrella trying to shield you but really doing a rather piss poor job, carrying your groceries in one hand with a loaded backpack on your back. Because not only are you sweating, you're also wearing what was once dry clothing. No longer though! No, indeed, everything was soaked to the gills. Basically the umbrella kept my face kind of dry. So yay for that!
Last week was painful - we had a mid term. I did so so - great on the reading portion, TERRIBLE on the conversation portion because I didn't realize till later what i was being asked. LIKE HONESTLY DIDN'T KNOW THE WORD. There was a little bit of stress last week and when that happens I get stressed out in my damn interview things with sensei's and then ... well, brain is down the toilet. Oh well.
After test was Kabuki - which was amusing and bloody (yay) and half the class fell asleep anyway (LOLZ) and then after that was shibuya where we found a nomihodai to have some dinner at. Totally cute little basement place (like lots of places in shibuya are), and the food was actually really tasty and kind of korean-ish (there was kimchee, ok). Then we did Karoke and I have amusing pictures that I will post of that at some point. Super fun. And we got home on time!! (oh, and i think i posted about that, still tipsy and stuff).
Saturday was recovery day and i didn't really do anything but consider leaving the house in an abstract way. But Sunday! Sunday I met my old advisor (the one who didn't get tenure, who is here for a couple of weeks) and other of her students for lunch at this vegitarian restaurant called Vegitable Sushi Potager (you can read in english! don't be scared) that was actually REALLY good. We even had dessert.
I was thereafter supposed to meet housemate and other school friend to go shopping and do the whole Harajuku thing and possibly museum, but housemate forgot her phone, and I ran really late, and there was a train station mix up, so I ended up waiting an hour for them and shrugging my shoulders and going to the book district on my own. Who says you can't make your own fun? I dont'! AND I FOUND I SCI FI BOOKSTORE! And it was awesome. And has old sci fi magazines. And six SIX books written by my favorite author. So I bought four. I will possibly go back for the other two next weekend.
Monday was supposed to be homework and I got a good start but then got totally reckless. Oh well. It was actually a day off from school (our own summer break! woot! sorta) and so I think the resting was probably good for me.
Now though, it's back to the grind stone. EEP. Bye guys!!
