Wow, what a day, and its only 7 pm. Up and Down today. First big up was making it to Shodo class on time so I could ask my teacher a question before class started. Then down again when he showed up late, and another down when my mid-term piece turned out to be terrible. then an up in Japanese class when I could read a newspaper article along with the teacher. Then another up when I finished my Japanese culture paper in time to eat lunch, and then making an acuaintance almost a friend by remembering their name during lunch. Then a huge boring down when the Japanese culture class on ikebana (flower arranging, which I find interesting) turned out to be little more than one little piece to show off and then giving each of 60 students one flower to place in a display thingy, without any advice or basic techniques, and then another half an hour of boring lecture and slideshow which wasnt very informative. Then an up when I talked to a friend after class, then I got the train commute blues, and then for some reason I got an up when I heard two businessmen making fun of me on the train because they assumed I couldn't understand what they were saying. This happens every now and then, and its usually a downer, but today it just kind of made me chuckle because I realized it gave me insight in to how people here think about me when they see me. Interesting what people say when they think you can't hear them. Then another up when I got off the train and discovered a curry shop that had been newly opened, and featured a different kind of curry every day of the week, and is right by my station. Looks like my curry addiction will stick with me for a while longer, heh. The curry there was cheap and awesome, btw.
Then another down when I got home and saw the mess that my room had become. My fault, I know, but it still doesnt feel good. And now Im feeling kind of down again because I have so much homework due tommorow and I cant for the life of me get started on it. Egads, Id be happy with just plain me for a while, this is exhausting.
Till next time.
