September 26th, 2012

I woke up with a scare today... dont worry nothing dissaserous. I realized I had woken up early, then fell asleep and woke up late for the health guidance. (Which I thought was mandatory). But it was not !! :O. It was quite borring, and also I got upset/sad when they began talking about sex and abortion. I did not know that here in Japan you can have an abortion up to 22weeks!!:O. :(. They say it will be hard, and expensive, but you can. If they know that.. then why do they alow it? :(. It makes me so sad.

Afterwards, I went back to my room for breakfast. I can not remember what else I did, other than I was trying to set up my course registration timetable, and I got to talk to my mom for a little bit :). I was also in need of some tidying up around my room, (which I did... or at least... a little bit).

Later, at around 1pm, I met with Go to take pitures. We went to Beppu-wan. It was daytime so everything was open and looked so cool :)! We also say stray cats. They were SO cute (it is wierd because i dont like cats but... ) one of the stray cats went and called her kitten to come. It was so adorable... a little black fluffy furball the size of about one and a half my hands :P! We went around to get closer since they hid in a bush, but not only did we see them, but down the path we saw more :). It is so weird, I feel so blessed to be able to get close to them since they seemed weary of people. I think living with Allie and Avery, Angella, Sarah, and Troy too for a bit got me to like cats??,, :P!! The same call I would use for Hatchi (one of the 3 cats we lived with) I used on them and ... it worked?? :O. But more than anything I think it was just another blessing from God!

After taking pictures, we headed back to campus to go to the student job hunting seminar/guidance. It was ... well .. not what I expected :(. Although hard to sit through. But some of the important things I got out of it were: - Study, practice and use Japanese!! (:
                              - Plan goals for each semester
                              - Balance non academics and academics which are both important!
                              - Even if you do not know everything, learn Japanese in 1 year.

We went to the cafeteria after. I sat then went back to my room to make dinner. I made fried eggplant in egg, with onions and green peppers! SO yummy :) I also ate a riceball that was from last nights' dinner party. I talked with Dessy and Enna while cooking :) Then we went to play ping pong together. It was fun :). At the same time I also went to get help on the course registration process.
The night was slow, but it was more relaxing I think. I got back to my room and worked on course selection till 2am. At around 12 I went to look for Yurim, and Sunyoung because I had not seen them all day :\. On the 4th floor, they were playing UNO!! :) I was so happy because I love UNO, and people play it here in Japan too!!... with slighty different rules :P.I found Yu and Sunyoung in Sunyoung's room. We talked briefly and were laughing so much. Herman was there too! He took really good pictures of the sunrise that morning. Next stop back to my room..then Shower! And Timothy chapter 6, then go to bed :)
