I also heard news that UCLA doesn’t need my unofficial transcript, so it’s just UCSB. So I’m in for sure at UCLA. I felt much happier about that. I check my email very often and I read the acceptance letter over and over. It is written exceptionally well and I’m so happy about it.

I finally left the house today to get the Europe book. It was nice to finally get out of the house. It felt weird to be outside and my vision was blurred most of the time. I guess that’s what happens when you stay indoors for too long. I was reading a lot of the magazines and some other books to see which one would be good for me to buy. I decided on getting another book since it was slimmer and more feasible to carry around since all the books on Europe are big and heavy. The one I got was actually more expensive than the book I originally planned to get, but it has more color and details about what I could do there. I think that I could use it over and over whenever I decide to go to Europe, so I look at it as an investment since I could use it over and over again and the other books that I’ve bought for my trips are only one time use.

I went to queen’s square, since I was in the Landmark Tower to buy the book. I wanted to buy Subway for dinner. But they changed their menus because of golden week. They only had some things that were specials, but the prices were jacked all the way up. I usually get a foot long, but today I settled for the half foot one because of the price. Then they changed the menu back after I ordered, which made me a bit pissed. So I could have saved a few bucks if I had waited like 15 more minutes. I just missed that one.

I also could have saw Hitomi and Yuna Ito at Queens square, but I was too late to arrive there because they already performed. Usually in Queens square, they have an area where they display a few things and do promotions. There was a radio station in Yokohama that was sponsoring concerts there since there is a fairly big train station underneath the building. It would have been nice to go see it since it would have been free and I was already there. It kinda irked me a bit because it seemed as if I was missing a lot and getting fairly close to things, but not actually getting it. But over all it was nice to get out of the house. I think that was the biggest benefit for me and finally able to breath the fresh air.

I came home and packed for Gotemba. I was getting the last minute things done as I was talking to my friend KHma. We were having a conversation all in Japanese. It was a bit hard to understand her, but it was good for me to practice it though. We were basically talking about Golden Week and what we did. I did nothing, so that wasn’t so exciting, but she went to Mt. Fuji, which where I will go tomorrow. I also heard that Darren will come back to Japan for a week at the end of May. So I could see him I guess. I think most of the time, I will be out of town or busy, but I’ll see how things work out. I need to make a schedule of when I have the time to visit people before I leave. I don’t think that things will work out the way that I want because no one has really expressed any thing to me yet. But I think that things will work out since they generally always do.
