This past two weeks...

So I didn't write last week mainly because I was busy. Last week was the school's open school so the middle school students come to kojokan to check it out. See if they like it or not. Kind of thing. Well I was busy with that. Also practicing for the Saxophone festival thing. I never knew that Classical Saxophone was so big here. Our trio got 3rd place of course. Mainly because we were beginners. 1st was middle school students and 2nd was ELEMENTARY Students. Got me off guard. They were really good at it. I was amazed at how they were very good. The next day we went to Tivoli Park to play with the Saxophone Orchestra. Yes Saxophone orchestra. First time I heard of it. Really interesting. Very fun though. Got some great tips about saxophone and stuff. Very fun.
Some Chinese people came to Kojokan to teach us RONGO class. I don't know RONGO but I didn't understand a thing. On Monday more Chinese people are coming but this time they speak english so lucky me. hahahaha. Next week is our Sports Festival. I am doing a relay. Playing ponyo and doing a tug of war. I am also maybe running with a flute or my clarinet. The school got new clarinets and man do they ever sound wonderful. As well November 9th there is a exchange student get together to Kyoto I am looking forward to that. Next week I am going to visit a friend in Himeji. Also looking forward to that.
Today as a family we went to see a Cosmos garden in HOkubo. I didn't bring my camera but it was just a bunch of cosmos flowers. I don't particularly love flowers but for those who do, it is a great place to go. Also there were a lot of people on a date who went there or people who wanted to take family pictures. As well I got a chance to make Mochi there. Mochi is so delicious I want to eat more. Well tomorrow I is the Autumn festival so I am looking forward to that. I am going with my sax friends. hahaha.
C u next week hopefully...

Midterm week

I cannot believe that this week is almost over. I did not think I would survive this week properly but here I am, on a thursday night writing in my blog. On Monday, I had my second midterm. It was my East Asian Religion & Culture class. I only had a 2 hour study session for the class and afterwards, I didn't really study much to be honest. So I was a little nervous coming into class that day. The teacher assistant came late, so it just increased my nerves for the day. When we finally got the exams, I realized, I knew more of the midterms than I expected, it was just a lot of writing that I had to do. I found myself writing the same themes over and over again but with different words. In a way that was relatively similar to the way he was lecturing his classes and the way Chuang Tsu has written his philosophy. It is basically the same but there are variations of the same theme I feel. Anyways the midterm went better than I expected, however, you never know what might happen. So,...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...
