January 10

Today, I have the day off. I hope I can find another 留学生 to go exploring with . I still haven’t gotten used to this cold weather, especially when taking a shower. D:

I’m very concerned about having enough money to pay for everything on time. Today, I found out the university is closed, so I will have to wait until Monday to take care of copies and paperwork. I hope my host family will help me a lot with alien registration and my commuter pass.

I spent most of the day trying to budget, schedule, and prepare for paperwork. The other “most of the day” was spent sleeping (when I had a weird dream about going to Jason’s house and perfect snowboarding powder snow). I spent a few hours sitting in the common room (it’s so cold outside one doesn’t want to go without a friend/reason) and I was rewarded with going to dinner with りょうへい and the other 留学生. We had a variety of things brought to us; cabbage, lettuce with tofu, daikon with mayo, 卵 oyster and 大根 in miso, kebab meat (that looked like shrimp テンプラ), kebab chicken (spheres), kebob bacon-like salt meat (おいしかった!!!), and fried chicken cartilage (very bad). It was fun though and cold! We stopped at a ペソコン store before (not very exciting) to get an adapter, and スパー after. I was wondering about the chocolate chip melon bread...

When we got back, we watched a long hospital drama in the common room and got kicked out before it ended (it was that long!). It was funny while it lasted though, especially when the mother and son were trapped under giant chairs in the derailed 電車 and instead of pulling the chairs off of them, the doctors drilled holes in the chairs (as though disassembling them). When they drilled the son’s chair, blood spurted out in super-drama effect. We made our own dialog for the show.
Tomorrow, I will meet my host family. I hope they speak English.
