ぱんつ！

Ah, it’s been awhile.. So, on Monday, the 22nd, I went to school. At lunch, it was pretty interesting. Haha, I had my camera whipped out and I was taking pictures of my friends. They all seem really shy in front of the camera and I can’t really get a proper picture of them. They cover their faces before I get a chance to snap a shot! It’s so unfair, I really want pictures of them so that I can remember them when I go back! Well, anyways, as I was saying… we were at the library, and I was taking pictures.. I decided to record them.. Hirono and Misaki started running around. And what did I do? I chased them of course. In the library. As quiet as I could. Which was kind of hard.. I have the video, and I’ll upload it when I have the chance to, but you might get a bit dizzy from it..

Well, after that, I we went to class, and I was bored, so I drew faces on my fingers and then I started drawing smiley faces one everyone’s pointer finger.. and then I pressed fingers together.. and.. “ちゅう！” All my friends now will forever remember me by that.. ‘cause I practically drew fingers on everyone in my class and did that.. Haha, they kept saying “Gag, gag.” Which is slang for joke.. I’ve learned quiet a few slang words since I’ve been here.. it’s pretty interesting how Miyako-hogen is quite different from mainland Japanese.

Other notable things on Monday.. I went to a calligraphy class.. and practiced writing my name in katakana and hiragana.. both were really hard, but sensei made it seem so easy when she did it.. and as a present, she wrote me the word 夢 or “Dream” It’s reaallyyy pretty, and I totally love the fact that I get to keep it. Also on Monday.. Haha.. really windy, and skirts blowing up everywhere with lots of “Kyaa!~” going around. XD My Misaki’s skirt went up and I went.. “今日のパンツは。。。” And then my friend Nina went.. “ピンク！” Haha, I made fun of Misaki the whole day after that..

Tuesday.. there was a national holiday, “やすみ” I think.. so no school, but there was work, so my host dad did go to work on Tuesday. But, that day, I woke up at around.. ten.. and then I went to Kaito’s baby swimming class at eleven o’clock, with Kaho and my host mom, and we waited until it was over, which was for about an hour. After his swim classes, we returned home and we had lunch, which was Okinawa’s noodle soup kind of thing.. it was really good! At two o’clock, Motoko’s mother came over and picked us up to go to the pool. We headed to Karen’s house and picked her and her host sister up and headed to the pool!

We got there.. and the pool was full of little kids.. and it was really shallow.. and you couldn’t really swim in it.. BUT! Upside was, there was a slide. Haha, I don’t think I got pictures.. I’m really bad at remember to take pictures.. Ugh, it’s terrible, I wish I remembered to take pictures more.. Then everyone could see, but I kind of don’t like to see the world behind the camera’s lens if you know what I mean.. So me and Karen went on the slide.. I almost crashed into her a couple times because she always went first.. The times it almost happened was really funny, because she would be like… “Anna, Anna, stop! Stop!” And I would be like.. “Uh, whut?” and try to slow down. XD

We left the pool at around four thirty because Motoko had violin lessons. So, Motoko’s mother drove us back to my house where Karen used our internet to log onto facebook, to get her friend’s information because facebook is blocked at her house. Motoko ended up not going to her violin lesson and then Amano-sensei, Kaho and Motoko’s violin teacher called our house and told them that both of them needed to come. Lawl, they totally got in trouble for skipping..

Well, after that.. We didn’t really do anything after that.. Wednesday! I went to school, but.. there wasn’t really anything new.. all they did was study from their tests, which was really boring because I couldn’t do anything except watch them.. Oh yes, science is always pretty interesting.. Izumi and this other dude always seem to have a water fight in science class. I told you these guys don’t really care about learning.. Lawl, they would use the faucets to get some water and then throw it at each other.. And the guy usually ends up soaked at the end of the period. That day, Izumi had missed, and actually threw water at Jun, which ended up making his whole desk wet, his papers, his notebook, etc.

Then school ended and I went back home, where I did.. nothing really. XD Fast forward to tomorrow, which is.. actually today.

Well, I went to school, but everyone had tests until about 1:25 p.m., so I had to wait for my classmates to finish their tests before going up to the classroom to go out and play. I.. did nothing in the library. I played my nds.. and slept. Lawl. Oh, Shogoro-san, my Area Representative told me that tomorrow, I will need to go to 平良中学 instead of going to my regular school, so it’s something different. And then.. after school..

Me and my friends went to the convenience to buy lunch, and we went to a nearby spot to eat. I had already eaten my lunch at the library, so I bought just a drink, “Calpis” which is a really yummy drink here. I think.. it’s sweet water.. It looks kind of like watery milk.. Haha. XD And then.. began the long walking.. Me and Misaki were looking at Misaki’s phone for pictures of JaeJoong.. Haha, I love JaeJoong and she loves Yoochun.. XD But we mainly looked at JaeJoong pictures because she knows how much I love him. After that.. we passed by Book Box.. and we kept walking.. apparently, we were going to the very large Max Valu which had a Mister Donuts.. I didn’t get to try their donuts, but all my friends think it’s delicious.. I guess we’ll see about that.. I think on Friday, tomorrow, we’ll be going to Max Valu.. maybe I’ll see my classmate Takeru, who works there sometimes.. Haha, I’ll try to snag a picture of him in his work clothes. XD

It was suuppeerr hot. After we went to Max Valu and bought some drinks, we went to Game Land, where there was Purikura.. I did two, but only got pictures of one.. I’ll need to ask for the other pictures later.. but for now, I’ll try to get pictures of the ones I do have. It’s so tiny though. D: After that, we walked back to Book Box, where we waited until about six ten for my mother to come pick me up. My friend Misaki knew an employee and we asked her if there were any posters of Tohoshinki at the store, and she said she’d look. I think if there is, she’s going to give it to Misaki, who will give it to me! Yay, Tohoshinki posterrrr. :> That would totally make me really happy to have a poster of them!

After my mother came to pick me up she drove me to where Kaho had her English lessons and I met Greg, who runs a small private English class kind of thing.. and we played games in English with Kaho. Greg is actually Canadian, so he has a bit of an accent, but his English makes it seem like I’m not in Japan, and gives me a bit of a break from translating things in my head and having to respond back in Japanese. It’s all really tiring, but it’s a really nice thing to be thrusted into this situation.. it forces me to learn..

After that, me and Kaho walked to Obaa-san’s house where we met up with my mother and then we drove back home. We arrived back around.. maybe seven-thirty? And then at seven-fifty.. Omg, I quickly hopped into the bath and took a shower as fast as I could because Tohoshink would be on at 8.. Ugh, I totally did not want to miss it! So I got in, got out at around seven fifty-eight and then grabbed my camera. Haha, the first fifteen minutes I recorded with my camera.. which turned out to be okay ish.. I kept moving the camera around though.. and then it was time to eat, so my dad recorded it for me.. and I’ll get it later. Haha, I totally want a copy of it.. Can’t you tell I love Tohoshinki? Especially JaeJoong..

So now, it’s after dinner, and I can’t watch the recorded show because my host sister has to practice violin and piano.. ugh, I wish she would hurry up so I can watch the show! But I have plenty of time to type this up and get everyone updated on what’s been going on. Oh yes, the other night I got a chance to watch the last episode of Atashinchi no Danshi which was airing.. and so I can now say I watched a drama! It was totally epic.. not really, I couldn’t really understand what was going on.. XD So I stopped watching it and just went to bed, but now I really want to watch Tohoshinkiiiiii. :< Okay. I think she’s done. I’ll blog the next chance I get to, which will probably be soon.. See ya’ll latterr~
