Day off

I actually really enjoyed today since it was a day off. I have felt mentally and physically strained. I don’t know why either. I woke up late today since I slept late last night. I also was very hungry when I woke up.

I wanted to talk to family, but they weren’t immediately available. So I typed up the entries for the past two nights and updated it online. But then I was able to talk to my mother after breakfast. We were talking a lot about financial things and other things like health and cooking. I learned how to make the soup that I liked to have in America. So now I’ll be able to make it here in Japan. I’m happy about that, although I didn’t enjoy the conversation about money. I’m constantly reminded that I have to make a lot of money no matter what I do. It just means I need to keep my eye on the ball. I also asked if my father wanted to come to Japan to visit me, but he said he was busy… hahaha, because I know he’s not. I offered to pay for his ticket here too and pay for everything while he was here, but he declined.

Another interesting thing that we were talking about was the need for a new car. Since I have left everything that I have known about my house and family has changed. My house has changed so much that I couldn’t even imagine it when it was told to me. I’ve lost my dogs. I’ve lost my room. I’ve lost my car. I’ve lost (somewhat) my friends. Everything that I’ve known has changed and I believe that it will take a lot of time to get used to. Like today, my mother was telling me that my sister has a TV in her room. But her room is my old room and there wasn’t enough space for a TV, so it was just shocking to hear that. I have also learned that there is a TV for every person in the family, that’s six for those of you who don’t know, and that’s including me. I honestly don’t know why we have so many too. My mother also keeps on mentioning that I have too many books, as if that was a bad thing. It was just weird thinking about it. And when I go back the construction for new rooms will be finished in the garage too so I will have a place to stay when I go back. And that really is still only the beginning of all the construction too. There is a long list of things still needed to be changed too. It will be a busy year, I can tell already.

I talked to one of my friends that I plan to go to Hawaii with. But things haven’t been working out for us and our plan to go there. We have other things going on and it’s getting in the way. There is a lot to consider for this trip, but I know that it will be a good one, whenever we decide to go. It looks as though it will be in July and during summer though. I think that YSki will decide to come back to Japan too so we will be able to hang out in Tokyo again. All of this is before I leave Japan for good. Wow, it’s coming up so soon and I will need to see all my friends again before I leave.

After that, I was beginning to get very hungry so I started making something to feed myself. I decided that I had the right ingredients to make a killer spaghetti dish, so I went with that. It didn’t turn out as great as I thought it would be, but it wasn’t bad either. I’m not sure what was missing, but I thought the taste seemed a bit watered down. But it was still edible and I think it might have been because the noodles were cold mixed with hot sauce. Well I’ll work on that later. I watched some TV before I came into the room and wrote this up. There wasn’t really anything good on TV today. I hate bugs and I think that they are out to get me. That’s one of the things I’m not looking forward to this summer.
