Not much happened yesterday. I walked in the sunset, and found the way to Honjo, one of my schools. Then I went to Judo, and got angry when I went to the internet cafe and found out that not only was there a bug in there system that hadn't been taken care of, but they have a frquent customer card that nobody ever said anything about in my past two weeks of going there everyday and spending at least 500 yen each time. The employee stamped my little card almost full, which helped me to be less pissed.

Apr. 13th, 2004 08:58 amI went to Nagoya with the members of my English conversation class today. The group's name is "Green Apples". Out of the 7 person group, 4 were able to join us to go to Nagoya and choose a textbook. I figured out something. I don't want to spend a lot of time around people who want to be around me just to learn english. I had a hard time holding onto my temper toward the end of the day. They helped me with stopping by NTT to find out why I couldn't make calls, but I could receive them. (It turns out I had the phone setting wrong or something.) Then we went to the bookstore and chose the textbook. I hope I chose a good one. At least we got one with a teacher's manual. I also took some time to find a preparation book for the Japanese Proficiency test. A trade paperback that cost over $20!, but it's what I need, so I bought it. I can't believe how expensive things are here. BTW, all of these people who have children who are at least in their 20s. That's why they could take a weekday to do this.
After that, we went to a hotel restaurant for a buffet lunch. Lots of different food-- Curry, fresh pasta, seaweed salad, tomato salad, etc. I particularly liked the Mochi with sweet red bean paste for dessert. I haven't had it since the last time I was in Japan, if memory serves. After, we headed to the Nagoya International center-- I was hoping they might be interested in posting for conversation partners, or looking at travel info, but they kinda stuck together and talked while I picked up some information about Nagoya. Oh well.
On the way home, I was tired, and found the CD with Betthoven's Ninth on it, and sang along kinda. I miss choir. Got home, and discovered that internet was connected! YEAY! much jumping around and happiness. I don't have to deal with Japanese keyboards anymore. except at school... oh well. So I spent much time online, and then headed out to get my shopping done. Lesson learned-- try to get to Seiyu early on Tuesday-- they ran out of apple juice and the yogurt I wanted and didn't have much bread left.
