Very free week

This week I was very free. The school had a test. So I was free this whole week. So I would go to school. And go to the library for some alone studying. Than when test is over I would go to the classroom and clean and then go home. This whole week except friday I went to school by bicycle. I am slowly getting used to it. I am slowly remember the roadway. Slowly. Step by step.
Monday was a holiday here. I bought some manga books. Sunday was the middle school sports day. It was really a fun day. Except really hot. Asuka chan was working hard. I also bought some origami paper to work on whenever I am bored. I bought a hat for only 7 bucks. Canada it is normally 20 bucks for a single hat. Here it is sooo cheap. There were fashionable shoes for 3 bucks. A fashionable vest for only 9 bucks. Where as in Canada is in the 20s. I have 5 months to purchase those. hahaha. I only bought a hat tho.
Next week I have tuesday off because the day is half and half. 12 hours day and 12 hours night. Kind of weird but great. Monday is the last day of testing. So last day of free time in the library I mean study time in the library. NO I actually do study in the library. I am trying to memorize 80 kanji. My goal is to remember them by the end of the first week of October. Will I Succeed? I hope so. It's really difficult. First week of October as well is very busy for me. School festival is on the 3rd and 4th. Than the end of October is sports festival. So really busy for October.
Today at 4 o'clock I am going to Ouchi san's place. They are going to show me kurashiki and talk about the Church in Kurashiki. I am looking forward to meeting them. Finally a church. ^0^
I showed my homestay father a golf advertising booklet I brought from Canada, he was really happy. He kept saying he wanted to go to Canada just for the golfing experience. My homestay mother knows about the Little house on the prairie series. That is her image of canada. So I showed her some images of Canada.
Sunday after I return from Kurashiki I am hoping to make some chocolate chip cookies. I couldn't find any oatmeal here so I am just making chocolate chip cookies. They sorta have a very small oven. But it is okay. ^0^. cookies are easy to bake. Surprisingly most of the students in school here don't know how to cook. Most of the time it is their mothers that do it. Only some students know how. Yet they study home economics at school. Yet home economics at school is not hands on. It is only from books.
well I can't think of anything else. I am working hard here. ^0^

Blueberry picking day one?

Today... Was a freakin loooong day! I started pretty early around 8ish? Well I woke up around 7ish to get ready and my whole family along with my mom's friend went to the blueberry farm. It is an organic farm so everything is natural. Well it is a good thing for the customers but it is quite a challenge for the pickers. Since it rained last night, early in the morning the bushes were still wet. It was slightly chilly too. In a way it made work a lot more tolerable because it was so cool and I thrive on the cool weather. There was one summer where all I did was raspberry picking. From then on I never wanted to eat raspberries again. However that has been slowly changing. This time if I continue to pick blueberries I might I won't want to eat blueberries for a long time. That is a little sad but sadly it might come true. We worked for a long time until around 4ish and I didn't do well. However it was also the first day or everyone. I don't know. I only managed 2 bucket...

End of the semester!.... soon

So.... my 3rd year as a university student is slowly coming to an end... Exactly on April 5th it will end... That is if I don't take summer courses this semester. I am still wondering about that this year. Whether to do that or not. Anyways, I have exciting news to post today.　I got an e-mail from the university, after FINALLY declaring my major of a general Pacific and Asian Studies BA, I can graduate next year in April. If I don't decide to minor that is. If I do decide to minor then I'm afraid I have to graduate in 2015 but if not... I can graduate next year... in April. How exciting is that? I know most people would like to be a university forever... but I think otherwise. I am kind of tired of school right now and just do something... mind numbing for a while I guess. However, I probably will get tired of that too quickly and need to find a job. I don't know what job I can get with my major but I'm not worried about that... as much... right now. What I am ...

Now that I am home

I have been back home for 3 days already. It feels more like a week already because this stupid jetlag is not helping me at all. Today is the 11th already. It doesn't feel like it. Today? Yesterday? well on the 10th, I meant to wake up earlier... like 10 in the morning but instead, I woke at around 4 in the evening. Just in time for the dinner gathering my family had with my aunt and uncle that came by from the other side of Canada. It was nice to see them again but the whole time I was kicking myself in my head because I didn't wake up earlier. Now I am suffering from the consequences... It sucks because outside... there is light already.  I should go to bed because there is another family gathering I have to go to at 9:30am and I have an orientation thing that I have to go to with the volunteering thing I am doing this summer at 1pm... and I think I might have to drive for it. But here's the thing... I can't sleep.  Sleep~ please come to me now... at least for ...
