Nothing in Particular

9/14/2010
Not much happened yesterday or today... and my mind is not working very well right now, so I will give you a piece-wise explanation.
Yesterday, even after establishing my budget of about 300 yen per day, I bought an 800 yen magazine that had Ninomiya Kazunari on the front. It also has a poster of him inside, as well as pictures of many actors that I know and love. When I showed this magazine to my host parents, they immediately went to helping me put the poster up in my room. It is beautiful. Also, I took a picture of the poster with my phone, and set it as my wallpaper :) annie <3's nino
Let's see... today was kind of... let's see, what's the right word... the day had sort of a lonely mood. I studied keigo during Japanese, from which I got the sympathies of my Japanese teacher and Michael. Iwama sensei told me to just memorize it, and try hard, she said I could practice it on her and the other teachers. Michael just told me that he never uses it...so helpful....
oh, right, Keigo is like the formal language in Japanese, used when talking to or about someone a good distance higher than you on the social ladder.
So I had a lot of questions from the lessons I did today out of my textbook, but Michael left after school with Brendan to "buy wigs," yeah, I still have no idea what that means. so, I lost my teacher (michael) and my student (brendan), basically, I was left with nothing to do. So I sat around reading kokoro for a while, because there were only like 5 people still at school, and they were all studying. I just waited for Javier to finish getting some tutoring from the math teacher, and we went to the station. I went ahead of him on my bike, and went to look around at the music store in the station while I was waiting. I saw something that I really really wanted, but I decided to not break my budget two days in a row, and I didn't buy it. I'm so proud of myself :)
Anyways, so Javi has been feeling sick, so I thought that we should just go ahead and go home, but when I mentioned that we could see if anyone was still at the station, he wanted to do that instead. We went up to the 7th floor, and met up with Shelby, Alex, and Hyden. Javi was like dying, but we had already decided to take the 5:37 train, so that's what we were going to do, also, we were sitting down, so it wasn't too bad. Also, my stomach started hurting last night, and I think that whatever Javi has, he has passed on to me, so that's awesome...
Right now I'm supposed to be writing my commonplace book entry for today, but I couldn't think of anything to write about, so I thought that blogging might help me think of something. I was of course wrong...
oh, I might put up a couple of my commonplace book entries in a bit, but probably not all of them.
