So, I have two computers. My main one, that's just over 3 yrs old and a refurbished one that is mainly kept at the school, b/c the school doesn't believe in providing enough computers for teachers to do their work on. I mostly post from my main computer, but since it's 3 yrs old, it sometimes has issues. For example, last week it became necessary that I take it into the school to use with my projector. All was well, the class I needed it for went beautifully, everyone was happy.
Until, of course, I got home and realized that for some reason, the screen has decided not to work! Of course! (Actually, I think it must have gotten bumped or something) Since I work all week and am busy the next several weekends, I'm not sure when I'll get to take it somewhere and get it fixed. So now I'm hauling the refurbished computer between home and school. Basically what I'm trying to say is: there's no port for my camera card, so any blog posts for the next however long won't have pics.
That being said, here are some other fun things I did with my daddy:
-Hiking the mountain. Well, more like leisurely walking the mountain. We took the cable car up to the herb gardens and then walked down. Dad wasn't super impressed with the gardens, but he did enjoy the reservior and waterfall and more foresty areas. I've posted about the route previously, so you can see some pictures of it in the post "Hiking"
-Seeing the Akashi Bridge. Again, this is something I'd done before (see the post "Visitors"), but Dad and I enjoyed soaking in the sun by the water and then walking on the bridge
-Nara. I tried to feed the deer. They bit me. Dad gave them a plastic candy wrapper and when I tried to retrieve it, they tried to eat my map. Also, we had some really delicious Indian food.
-Hamburgers as a final supper. NOT my idea (though they were tasty)
-Getting up at 5:30 to take Dad to the airport. Checkin went well and we had breakfast together before he went through security. I wanted to watch his plane take off, except the viewing platform was dreary and wet. So I went home and did excactly nothing for the rest of the day.
Other news:
There was big storm a couple weeks ago and my toilet room leaked, so maybe they're going to redo that entire area of my apartment, which would be lovely.
I started a language exchange with a couple Japanese girls. They teach me Japanese and then we sit and talk in English for awhile. Everyone's happy.
I completely messed up my big toe when we went cherry blossom viewing last week. It's getting better though.
My sister is graduating college this week.
The rest of my evening will be spent doing stuff like making popcorn, studying Japanese, filling out my application for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, getting utilities paid, puzzles, and...well, I have to go to bed in 2.5 hours, so that's probably all
