Last Wednesday was “Japan Day,” but the company machine still turned.
Instead, we got Friday off! That one extra day that you do not have to
go to work is a HUGE difference. If the work week had 4 days, the world
would be a better place.
Unfortunately, I spent Valentine’s Day weekend in my room, trying to
recover from a cold. I ate a minimum of 3 mikan (Japanese oranges) a
day, and drank lots of orange juice. I snacked all day on shelled
peanuts and other little things. I stuck inside, only leaving my cave
for groceries or dinner. It seemed, every time I left the dormitory,
that it would be raining and/or windy -> making my bike ride much
more difficult.
Japanese classes ended on Friday! I forgot to get my teacher’s email…
even after she said, “Steve, keep in touch.” … damn. I guess I was
too confused by having to say Japanese nothings and call it a speech.
Oh well, I’m signed up for a Japanese flower arrangement and tea
ceremony in March… maybe I’ll see someone there I can get it from….
Oh yeah, this was funny…. =)
