I'm not getting enough sleep. That's very clear. I caught myself when my friend mentioned about blue circles under my eyes. Then I'm falling asleep in school WAYYY too often. Before I was able to study for a whole class and then half of the next, now I can't even last 20 mins. I can't even read a manga here without becoming tired. My eyes drop and I'm gone. And I HATE sleeping in school, too because then my stomach feels screwed up. Desk sleeping=apparently bad for my health. I know I don't get enough sleep. But that can't just be from just staying up late. At my last house I was up late usually everyday and I was fine the next morning. Something is just wrong. And then there's the fact that I don't eat supper until 9 at night most of the time. In any case, it's past 7 when I eat. It can't be helped but it's also not a good thing. So, what I'm saying is, I'm glad I'll be able to get away for 2 weeks. Not liking the fact that my closer friends live on the other side of the city but, hopefully I'll get "fixed".
It's been 3 weeks since I actually post "a blog". Two parter. 久しぶりな～
最近 / I'll go on about more recent things first. Sailor Moon. Okay, odd topic starter but it happened and now it's bad. It was Sunday, me and Kayo were home and she tossed a towel on the chair. Me, took a closer look, it was a Sailor Moon towel! I started talking to her about it, how I love Sailor Moon, and then she went a little on about it. After that she went to her room and came back with 3 mangas! Two are the original mangas and one is an anime manga. I'm at the moment reading them♥ The manga is sooo awesome, back in America I wanted to buy them but they are soo freaking RARE it's impossible to get the English versions without paying like $30 for one. heh. I don't need the English one's anymore. I decided that I'm buying the Sailor Moon mangas here. In the beginning I said I wanted the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni series but not anymore. (1) Sailor Moon is wayyy more better^^ (2) Sailor Moon is OLD so I can go to the Book Market (tons of them here) and find it (my friends said it'll definitely be there) (3) Since it is so old and I'll be buying it at the Book Market it'll only be 100 yen! For one book! cheapcheapcheapcheap(^^) Manga here is cheap to begin with, America's gay. $10 for a book(><) Brand new books here are like 500 yen. Then! I totally forgot that there is a Sailor V manga! I LOVE SAILOR VENUS!!! She's my favorite of them all. So, I may be lucky and find that too☆ I already went on about Sailor Moon to my friends, asking who they liked and stuff. But it's sooo weird 'cause Sailor Moon is my elementary school generation thing. Here in Japan my friends knew it from preschool. So, the memory isn't engraved as well for them. The only thing I don't like about the manga though is that there is hardly any kanji in it. Since it's a kid manga that's why. All mangas now though have hiragana written next to the kanjis but it annoys me that this isn't like that. Ah well, still a cute manga(^^) I think I went on enough about Sailor Moon haha. Anyway! I have one request☆ I KNOW there are people reading who liked Sailor Moon. Watch episode 109!! For Minako (Sailor V) fans it's the most funniest episode ever! I watched it last night and laughed throughout it. Minako and Usagi-chan are just funny together.
パット / Pat went home on Saturday and I went with her to say goodbye. Going back to the Narita airport wasn't something I was looking forward to exactly (I'd have to come back again) but I wanted to see Pat before she left. I wanted to say goodbye. It's just, we've been through so much together since we met our first day here. We both didn't know Japanese that well, we were both exchange students. And she knows English. For those who don't remember Pat is from Thailand. I rewrote her goodbye letter 3 times before I thought I said the right words. So, there I was at the airport with her. Something funny, she brought her luggage with her but when she had to give the people it to load, it was over the weight limit. I don't know by how much but Rotary had to pay 60,000 yen to get her stuff on the plane, she didn't have the money. That's like $600! haha Poor Pat. And I saw a crow eating a dead bird, too. I officially hate crows. At school the Thursday before she left we had a party for her in our class. Everyone brought in food and made a Japan flag poster where everyone in the class wrote a message on it. At the party everyone said a little something to her, going by class number, and I was surprised by some of the people who cried. Like Chihiro, Kasumi, and Hana-chan, they are great people and nice, but we hardly talked with them. And the tears came from them. Badly. Before you realize it, there are already people who really recognize you there. You may not be close with them, but it shows that you existed to them. You meant SOMETHING if only a little in their life. At least, that's the conclusion I came up with. I don't want my day to come. You know, my friends already started bumming that I'm leaving too early. I'm leaving during summer break. During summer break there's supposedly all these awesome festivals with fireworks and everyone wants to go to them and they've been inviting me. Summer break seems to be a big deal. Unfortunately these festivals don't start until around the 12th. I'm gone the 9th. So, Tomoka, Nojiri, and Asami (if others come, not sure) plan on shooting fireworks one day at the ocean. My first Japanese hanabi (fireworks). These are my final days, my final month. I wonder if Pat was going through the same thoughts. She never said much, just the tears at the party and airport.
さくらんぼ取り / That Tuesday me and Pat went to another ken (practically a state) that's famous for cherries. It was a Rotary thing, so we went. I hate cherries so when we went to two cherry farms to pick cherries to eat, I didn't. But then we went to that town's Rotary meeting afterwords. On the way home we went up this mountain. I didn't think anything was special about it until we saw a bunch of monkeys on the road. Wherever we were, monkeys live on this mountain. I didn't get a picture though 'cause we were driving away, no where to park. And that was my adventure that day. Not a terrible way to get away from from school, especially Japanese lessons.
