Baseball game was fun. I ate soooo much. Dad and I went to Dunkin' Donuts in the morning. I got a bagel and a chocolate donut. Then I had a hot dog outside the stadium.

So, I have a sore throat. Woke up with it for no particular reason. I have no other symptoms. My ears *might* hurt, but it might also be pain radiating up from my throat. Ugh. Have taken four Ibuprofen over the last seven hours ( Read more... )

Haniwa: (埴輪) I really like them! I want to investigate them more. The article points out that while clay effigies are found throughout the world, effigies with such clear humorous qualities are rare and pretty unique to Japan. I'm very intrigued. These haniwa are from Karatsu, Kyushu:

Got a couple more pages of the shokuiku paper to write, then a poetry response, before I can go to bed. -_____- Even though I spent all afternoon at the library today. Tomorrow I have to read 60 pages of Mrs. Dalloway, make a PowerPoint presentation of aforementioned shokuiku paper, and write an essay for the Intro to Japan studies exam. The latter ( Read more... )

Uh-huh so I should totally be reading Katherine Mansfield's "The Garden Party" right now, or researching shokuiku, or writing fundraising letters, or writing a letter to my host family, or even working on ASB: Chapter 11...
