Laundry and not much else

My internet finally started working like normal today. I think I found out what the problem was. I think it was a Microsoft problem, and not so much my network internet card. I was just going to go buy a new one today too, to see if that was the problem. But Microsoft sent a patch to my computer today and now my internet works. I haven’t been disconnected since I downloaded. I found this out after a nice day of sleep. Even though most of the day I was still tired. I don’t like it when I talk to my family; I think that prevents me from going out. Since we have to talk about a lot of things that are going on, I don’t have much time left to go out and get what I wanted. But today, it was a combination of things. I had to do laundry today too. It was nice day, I had hoped to spend outdoors, but just didn’t have enough energy to go out. I think it’s just a waste to stay at home, but I was updating my xanga and trying to fix my computer, which both were completed. I was also talking to a few friends that I haven’t talked to in a long time too. So today, it wasn’t really a waste, but it quickly got dark before I knew it and then became too late to go out. I mean time really flew today. My student flaked out on my again today, and it’s the second time. I’m not sure she’s taking it seriously, and I think that I’m not going to take it as serious either. She didn’t pay me for the last time, and she always calls to cancel on the day of. I was planning to teach her today, but since that went out the window, I just decided to get some things done that I haven’t finished in a long time. Laundry was a definite must. I finally got more family pictures too, something I’ve been waiting for for about a month or so. But now I’ve got it. I need to get started on making my plan for the 8th graders this Saturday. I need to get all the materials finished for that. I think we’ll just play games since they are pretty much stressed out with all the testing and all the boring lessons. We should do something fun for them to end the year with a bang and something to remember. I’m not sure how many students will be leaving for another school, so might as well make the last day memorable. I’ve also fallen in love with Ai Otsuka. I think she’s hot and she’s got great music. I’ve been listening to her songs all day, and still not sick of it. It’s just so beautiful. And so is she.

Edit: there was just another Earthquake today. It didn’t feel that strong, so I didn’t think it was that big of a deal, and I didn’t see or hear anything on the internet either. EK started talking to me today. It was like the first time in a long time that he started talking to me. Of course, he wants to hang out because he had come back to Japan. His health condition forced him to come back and he’s another year behind in school.
