Classes went over a lot better today. I'm realizing that lunch makes me really sleepy for like an hour after I eat. LIKE, really sleepy, to the point where If I were to lay down I would pass out. hahaha. I might start taking some sort of energy drink or pill to keep me awake mid day if it doesn't stop within the next week! On another note, I am very happy that I bought these sparkle rings out of 25cent machine at KMART the day before I left for Japan. It was the most unexpected surprise when I found them in my secret coat pocket on the inside of my jacket when I arrived! I decided to wear them all the time. They are now comfortable to wear, my fingers wanted to reject them at first but then I told them to suck it up and alls been well ever since!

Met new people today that live at Ontakesan dorms. I'll take a picture next time I see them, they are all in my Japanese class, there's Chuck, Ryan, Tom, VP-kun, Patrick and Dan. We ate lunch today I had a Bento box(lunch box)which had egg sashimi, rice dumplings, and Sushi.. don't know what was in it, some sort of meat. It was good though!

There's a dance tomorrow night that the school is sponsoring by this place called Roppongi and shibuya. The school scared me away from really going to Roppongi because thats the supposed hang out of the yakuza(gangster mafia) and they own a lot of buildings and clubs and bars around there and the school had stories about them setting up guys with pretty girls and slipping something in their drinks and stealing their money. Also that that area is expensive. But this is a school sponsored event so.. DOn't worry MOM! haha, I'm going with a lot of friends and what not, i'll be fine!

I think i'm going to buy a locker on campus, the school is renting them for the semester for $20. And that would make my life easier cause I feel weird using my mesh book bag here so i've been using my really big esprit tote bag but i'm afraid its going to break if i put too much stuff in it all semester so I don't want to lug books around in it. Besides whenever I go back to my room I'm tired and lazy cause the bed takes up the majority of the room and that's where I tend to sit. =[ So it would be a better idea to stay at school till my homework is done then go back and do Missy-like things and not worry in the morning if things are done, only have to worry about looking pretty and getting to class on time!

I'm going with one of my friends from the Mansion (hence forth i declare the Mansion to refer to my hotel that i'm staying at, cause its the shortest way to name it!) to the city ward tomorrow morning before class to get my Alien registration card, certified matters, and National Health Insurance. Alien card because I need to and this way i don't need to cart my passport around with me everywhere anymore, not that it wasn't safe to before because of my "in my pants wallet". Certified matters goes along the same lines as that and then the health insurance... yeah, don't worry family because appearently there is a really CHEAP health insurance for those who made no income the year before like $20 for the semester and it covers 70% of medical fees. So I only pay 30% upfront and then can fill out an insurance claim on the rest if I need to. But the school told us in orientation not to worry and that its like filling out a rebate form to something you bought and you're only getting $2 back anyway so postage alone outweighs it. That we would be surprised at how cheap it is to get everything including a perscription. So all that worrying about health insurance and getting sick while i'm here for nothing! So great for me.

Well... I love you guys! I'm out to go back to the Mansion! PEACE!
