...31...Life's Ponderings
Mom called today while I was at work. She said I don't have to worry about money issues because we have figured out that there are two months we're not paying for college (aka, summer) and so I can still go to AB without freaking out. YAY.
I'm so getting that Mac for my birthday. More yay!
I am loved, says Ama. More yay!
I talked to Shoma today. He's such a sweetie, even though we didn't chat long. He asked me when I was free, and I told whenever he was because, really, I don't do anything. Lol. His broken English is adorable. I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK OF ME. He is lovely. I quite like this man. So I sent him an e-mail (in mostly Japanese!) asking when he had lunch/dinner and told him when I (and Miah) have lunch/dinner. That took a lot of brain power to make sure I got out all of the letters properly. AND I USED KANJI. LET ME TELL YOU. I CAN READ IT NOW. I used "ji." I didn't feel like using kanji for the numbers since I used the numbers anyway. GLORIOUS. I hope he gets back to me, but I sent it to his school e-mail and I don't know how often he checks it. Hopefully at least once in a while. I'm not all that hard to find.
Though I should just make it easy on him and go chill in the library, like, everyday.
Speaking of Japanese, sensei was sick today so it was canceled. Woe. My favorite class taken from me by a cold! Sadness. At least math was funny--yes, I did just say that. I LOVE my math teacher. I have NEVER been able to understand math until now. She just explains it in such a way that makes me go "oh, I get that." Even though on homework I do have to glance at my notes, I'm not falling behind like I really thought I would. It's not AS frustrating as it used to be. I'm feeling very positive about all of this, which is good. We have our first test on Feb 9, and I'm not all that worried. Though I will probably ask Michelle (our in-class tutor--she sits in like Daigo does in Japanese) to give me some random problems for me to practice on. Since I can't check the even numbers in the book, it'd be good to have her give me some. She's a sweetie, too. Apparently she's a "jacketaholic" and wants me to be her "dealer" when I told her I made my jacket. She was touching it and poking at it like she was going to buy it right off of my back. <3 She's nice.
So, week has been good. I felt a little sickly the other night, but I think I was just tired. My arms ache from work because I'm lifting heavy clothes over my head to put them on the rack. Building muscle. In gym the first day I weighed 120, the second day I weighed 117. I think the three pounds was because I was bloated or something--not a pleasant thought, actually. Water weight. BEING WOMAN IS UNFUN. Whatever. It's a week out of the month. Twelve weeks of the year. Ooo.
I can't believe it's already (almost) February. College flies by.
