Yup, that was today. Started out okay, slept nine and a half hours, mildly cloudy, watched part of The Holiday, feelin good. Class was okay, ended kind of badly with a low B on a test I thought I did well on. Ate lunch alone. Got some depressing news regarding a friend. Skyped for a while, which was nice. Got on the bus with a headache, feeling down. Got off a stop too late (I was going to a drug store called Kirindo to get some dental floss and mosquito bite soother, etc.) and had to walk back to find the place. Had an enjoyable time looking around at the random things in the store, bought my items, and went to leave. Got to the door and there's a storm outside, POURING rain. Was going to buy a four dollar umbrella but then thought why would I do that I'm really close to home, so I venture out into the storm, wearing my backpack on my stomach to shield my computer and get home seven minutes later, soaked to the skin, water dripping from my hair and everywhere else. Tried to take a shower, but the water never got cold so I gave up and I'll do that later. Skyped Talia for a little while, which cheered me up a lot. Now I'm watching He's Just Not That Into You, waiting for dinner. Don't really have anything to do I guess.
However, a lot happened this week that is the complete opposite of today! Been a good week anyway and tomorrow's Friday! Thank goodness for the weekend(although when I post this it'll probably be Friday because yay I don't have internet at home haha). So I'll go back to this week, starting probably on Saturday. So we had a test that day, which turned out okay I guess (the grading here is weird and I don't like it very much), then we went to sushi with sensei!!!! Dartmouth paid for kaitensushi which is the conveyor belt sushi, and as a class of around fourteen I think we ate over 200 plates!!! bahaha so great. Then some kids went to the river and a bunch of us went shopping. Found some great stuff! $4 shoes!!!!!! (which I wore today in the rain YEAH) That's really all I remember from that day, but Sunday was great. Juliana and I went to this Catholic church she found. I took the bus to the stop I thought was right, then walked in a bunch of wrong directions before we finally found each other. Got to the church a little late, but it was a really nice service, lots of Filipinos. Then the best thing happened. After church, Juliana and I spotted this crazy flee market-swap meet-garage sale thing!! I'm pretty sure it was a flea market but it looked like a GIANT garage sale in front of Kyoto City Hall. It was amazing! Got this beautiful necklace for $1. Juliana got this gorgeous tea set for like $3. It was so much fun!! Monday not a lot happened I think.. I don't really remember. A bunch of us went to this other really big flea market and looked around. Best idea: shave ice. Tuesday we went to Ginkakuji temple which was really pretty. Wednesday Ishida Sensei came!!! For those of you who don't know her, she's our Japanese prof at Dartmouth and she's SO AWESOME. I love her. She observed our class a little, then we all went to Heanjingu (I think I spelled that wrong) Temple which had the most beautiful gardens ever. I felt a little sick and it was unfortunate, but then we (Sugi, Christian, Juliana, Miller, and I) went back to the shopping area and by way of the 46 bus, I laughed harder than I've laughed in a long time. We got to the shopping area and Sugi and Christian went to Mos Burger (sorry if I spelled that wrong) to eat and Juliana, Miller, and I went looking around and took sticker photos!!!! Yayyyyyy so much fun. So that pretty sums up the week. Hopefully the weekend will be better than today!
Jya~
