so im sitting, or rather laying in bed again.. as par for the course on this blog thing...
ive been working on kanji this evening trying to jam as much as i can into my head before my test tomorrow.... good times.
one of the thing i noticed this afternoon/evening how quite and almost lonley it is when im locked up in my room studying. for my host family it must not only be they have some strange strange white kid holled up in their upstairs bedroom, i think they must be use to that, but a strange white kid who is grumpy and purposefully secluding himself.... hmm interesting. without informal communication, the type that takes place inside a few words muttered after dinner about a how much homework i have, thigs become much more significant. if i manage to get out that i have a bunch of homework and i need to study all night it means exactly that... hmm i dont know..
I think im just use to laying around the common room back at case with esther and aj and dave. back there i would be lucky to get in 45 minutes of sold reading before something really requiring my attention comes up aka dave beating ninja gaden again, aj commenting on the futility of life/being emo, or esther rationalizing that she doesn't need to go to chapter tonight because she saw some sisters in class that day... here though, when i shut my door the only distractions are the ones i make (a la checking steep and cheep twice a minute)...

I just got a bike pump and some socks from S&C. Mom will bring the jacket to you and whatever else you waste your money on in the next month.
Thanks for the posts.

Ummm... it is lonely in a foreign country. Don't kid yourself, it's not like it's going to be daises and butterflies everywhere. But, it gets better, easier, and then it's totally natural and you forget where you are from. Shit, it took me half a year to feel normal in Honolulu, and I was still in the US. Patience my friend, patience.
yo brah, jump on that JR rail dude, go check out Matsumoto, its a sick castle but I forgot where....filmed in the last samurai.........anyways, GE is going alright, I may be leaving in November for a bank, but we'll see, you should definitley check out the Tokyo stock exchange, pretty crazy, take it easy
