England vs. Ecuador

I didn’t do all that much today. I think the biggest accomplishment I achieved today was pay for my UCLA housing. I found out that the card that I have isn’t usable because I have a newer card back in the states. Once I got that information, I was able get it through. But this wasn’t till around midnight my time since she just got back from Las Vegas and told me all of this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to take care of any of it. It was nice that I got it taken care of two days before the deadline, although that is pretty close.

I also did some laundry which was nice. I really didn’t need to since I have tomorrow off from work too, but I thought it would be nice to get it done a day ahead of time so I could give my clothes an extra day to dry. Even though I think it might rain tomorrow, at least it will have another day to dry though.

I also made dinner tonight. It wasn’t so hot, so it was perfect to get some cooking done and get some of the clutter out of my kitchen in a nice move to get ready to move back to the states. I made mabo-tofu, which is one of my favorites. I made enough to last me till tomorrow too, so that was nice.

I talked with one of my best friends today too. YSki and I were speaking mostly in Japanese for the beginning of the conversation and then we changed to English later. I was really happy that I was able to understand a lot of what she was talking about and she could understand my Japanese. Well at least I thought she could.

I didn’t end up watching the England vs. Ecuador game till 1am since that’s when it started around. I only caught the second half and it seemed as if that was the half that was more interesting anyways according to the highlights. I saw the only goal of the match from David Beckham’s free kick. It was pretty cool that I caught that too. He really is a good player. I never knew since I really haven’t been a soccer fan for too long.

I was sewing, or hemming up my pant leg on some of my pants that are a little too long. So overall I did get some things done. But I didn’t work on any of the things that I wanted to get finished for work. For some reason I seem to be really lazy about that. I have a lot of things to accomplish tomorrow since I didn’t get it finished today.

I was having a cell phone conversation through email today. I was talking with CHda as she was riding the train back from her parents’ house in Chiba. I thought it was weird when she started sending me messages about nothing in particular. It was weird but nice since she’s the only person that really does talk to me in Japan. I mean I’ve gotten used to living alone and not needing anyone in my life, but it’s always nice to have someone there to talk to. I thought it was very interesting that she would do that though, although it’s a nice gesture. I was thinking about asking her to hang out tomorrow, but I know that I will be too lazy to actually go out and do something. I have a lot of work that I need to get finished so I should do that tomorrow since this week will be my last week at school officially as a teacher.
