Headachessss

I have many.
There's SO MUCH LEARNING GOING ON.
Makes my head hurt. Literally I've had a headache for like three or four days. Everything you do takes more time to comprehend and respond to because you have to think so hard about it, rather than it just being natural.
I've also noticed that there is a lot less water available here, which is a bummer because I drink a lot of water. They drink a LOT of tea, which isn't really surprising.
Also, another thing I've learned is that they don't eat grape skins here. The squeeze the grapes with their fingers while they're in their mouths and then put the skins on the plate.... whhaaaaatttt.
Baha. Yesterday we did this art workshop where we made bracelets--dyed them and braided them! So much fun. Mine is green and brown. Haha then today we went to this awesome place an hour away and did kiyomizuyaki. which is japanese traditional dish painting. we made cups! Painting was so much fun. You had to take care to mix because there was only one color, but depending on how much water was mixed with it, once out of the kiln, it will come out darker or lighter. Then the host showed us around the place and took us to this olllddddd kiln that's been around for apparently a hundred years. They used to make grenade shells there, so the shells were ceramics. The whole place was really hot but so interesting!! It was a long ride home and I feel rather sick. Might go to the doctor tomorrow..
Jya~
