Today was....tiring @___@

I got up around 8:45 and did my facial-cleansing routine, then got dressed to work out.

I only did about half of it today because I haven't done it in so long....it just about killed me.

My calves hurt so bad, and my thighs will be joining that category of pain tomorrow probably.

My mom made me breakfast in a cup when I left!

(eggs and grits YUM)

I had a picture of the deliciousness but I think I deleted the pic, so just imagine it's yumminess.

Dustin had a butt-load of work to do for school that is piling up for him over the next week and a half, so I went to Japanese by myself today.

It was alright, luckily no one tried to sit by me.

We went over a lot of new things, I hope that I can keep up.

Sugako-sensei said that only one person got a 100 on the last quiz:

ME!

That was surprising....it's usually this guy named...uh....I forgot his name O x O

Oh well.

The walk was horrible.

Horrible and beautiful.

The weather was amazing, but there were a lot of people out today for some reason, I hate people traffic.

After Japanese I found out that my Art History class was going to see a visiting artist in the Gallery and listen to his presentation of his work.

Po-Chi Chu.

He was awesome, and a very nice, cool guy.

He is a professor at FSU.

After my day was over, I got back to my car and remembered that I should take a picture of its cleanliness:

My phone doesn't take the best of pictures, but you get the idea.

It's clean.

And the drive home?

Also phenomenal.

It really turned out to be a B-E-A-U-tiful day.

When I got home I had a cup of coffee and my mom made a microwave chicken lasagna that rocked the house.

We watched about half of Bolt on tv before I went upstairs to clean my face and get started on some digital notes for Dustin from Japanese today.

That was a lot of typing and going back and forth between hiragana, katakana and english, haha, but I'm rather anal about documents looking nice, so I'm pleased with it, and it was way worth the time because it meant that I was studying as well.

Mr. Starling (Sugako-sensei's husband and the CIP director) contacted me about maybe doing an independent study before the study abroad so that I would be placed in a higher class or something....I'm not really sure about all of the details yet, but it will require a lot of extra studying on my part, I know that.

I already study what she has given us (I try to) every night a little so that it just gets a little easier, so I'm thinking that this won't be any different, and much more beneficial.

I told him that I would really like to force myself to speak as much Japanese as possible, and as little English as possible on my trip so that I am am literally stuck over there, haha.

Completely submersion.

This week might be hellish (work load wise).

But I'm hoping that these last 6 or so weeks go by quickly.

I'm so ready to be done with school completely.

おやすみなさい
