A day of not much again

I didn’t go to bed till a bit late last night. It was cool, but still hot enough that it was hard to sleep. Every night has been hard to sleep for a little while, but today, as I woke up, it wasn’t so bad. I had wanted to go to school and play tennis. That was the originally plan, but since it’s nearing obon week, I think that most of the teachers and students won’t be going. So I’ll have to make my trips to school after the obon week, which is actually in two weeks. So I don’t really have any plans for the next two weeks. Everything in Japan will pretty much be closed and all my friends are leaving Japan soon too.

So, as you probably guessed, I spent a lot of time online. I played a few online games and computer games today. I went 4 for 4 today playing online Chess. I was quite shocked that I won all the games. I was playing the computer, but the level probably wasn’t hard. I’m not sure of the settings though. Although I know I would have gotten my ass whooped if I was playing someone good. I played a lot of MS hearts today and solitaire too. Then I decided to do some laundry. I think that today would be a good day to do it because I had the time to and it wasn’t so hot so the dryer wouldn’t really make the room super hot.

Then I was talking online with a few of my friends that I haven’t talked to in a long while. I was on AIM today and completely avoiding MSN messenger. I think it’s best not to talk to those friends for a little while till things settle down for a little bit. I received an e-mail from my ex-girlfriend telling me that she wants to explain things to me if I would give her the time to explain them to me online using skype or something like that. I’m not sure that I will fulfill her request even though I told people that I will talk to her about it. To be honest, I don’t want anything to do with her. I want to forget the fact that I even met her. She was bad for me then, and she’s bad for me now. I was glad to get rid of that poison in my life and it seems as if it spread to other things that I cared for in San Diego. Now everything that I had value in doesn’t exist anymore, so there’s no real reason to go back there. But on a happier note, I also got some e-mails from friends that I haven’t heard from in a long time too.

I was talking to my soulmate and we were chatting it up for a few hours. It was so nice, and I really do miss talking to her. We know each other very well and I’m glad that we are still friends. Most of my friends that I met during the same time I’ve lost touch with, and it was weird how we even met to begin with. We met during a school trip that we took in the 11th grade to Washington D.C. She’s from Pasadena, and I’m from San Diego and the program was only a week long and there were thousands of people at the conference from all over the country and around the world. So it’s real precious that we’ve remained friends for 7 years. We used to chat everyday till really early in the morning and then go to school the next day. I’ve visited her a few times when she was in Davis, which is where she is now.

After she left, I was just checking e-mails and stuff. Nothing really exciting, although I do find something very interesting while reading e-mail. I am subscribed to an online vendor which sells Japanese things in America. They have a little distribution center in San Diego and the people are American and we also teachers in Japan too. So I could really relate to them, but its spam. I never signed up for it, but it keeps on coming. I haven’t blocked it because the stuff they teach you is really interesting. They also give a little tid-bit of information about Japanese culture and customs. It’s very interesting and I learn a lot from them. They also sell a bunch of stuff, but I don’t really know what they sell because I never read that part of the e-mail. But I like it and I’m learning about Japanese culture through other American eyes, who are really Japanized.
