Birthday visit, YAYEE

Hmm, so it seems I am the only person in the world who has never previously heard of Movember. Well, now I am all up to speed. Yay.

My Mega Day of Classes is now over and I am just chilling out waiting for home time. Dunno why really since I have no plans tonight, except to not eat chocolate... Well, after tomorrow it is yet another weekend and I have no plans for this one. We shall see what happens. There is a festival of some description going on in the town here. As I am yet to attend any festivities in Japan I should probably go along, if only so I can get some pictures of Jap stuff to put on the blog for you all to look at. Mostly they are not as much fun as you would think. Well I guess that depends upon your definition of fun. I do not particularly enjoy being used for English practice when I am out trying to get drunk, and that it all that seems to happen at these events in this town. I keep getting e-mails from the elderly gaijin collectors in the area saying "You must come to our festival and let's have fun, there will be many children to practice English with". What they don't realise is that saying there will be "many children" somewhere is hardly a way to get me excited about going, let alone being told that I can practice my English. I am quite a fluent English speaker already you know.

Last night I went for a walk down to the Megamart and purchased myself another blanket for my futon. It's getting might chilly at night now. In the mornings I can see my breath puffing out behind me all the way to school. And it's not even winter yet! Next term I have to walk to Higashi primary school which is about 30 minutes away, it's gonna be snowing and everything... Might have to get some serious shoes for that cos I don't reckon my sandshoes are going to cut it.

And I have had confirmation recently that my friend is coming over here for about 2 weeks in February next year!! I am SO excited about this, finally some one visiting me in Japland. She's coming for my birthday so I won't be all alone after all. Yipee!!!!
