Which isn't to say that stuff hasn't been happening. We're almost halfway through the semester (seriously, brought stuff home so i can make exams this weekend), and so far it's been pretty nice. Last weekend was our school festival, which was FUN as always. My second years totally had the best dance of any class :) Since I was new last year and feeling pretty shy, I didn't do very much, but this year I did ALL the games and things (didn't get to all the food, cause some of them ran out), forced students to speak English with me, and basically had a crazy awesome time.
The second day of the festival we had a typhoon and the festival was cancelled, which was good because I had an awful cold and didn't want to do anything other than sleep and eat chicken noodle soup. That typhoon was the worst I've experienced. (I mean, I even went to the movies one time when there was a typhoon). I was even a little nervous when the winds got really bad and the house started shaking. It was so noisy I couldn't sleep anymore like I wanted to.
Also, Oktoberfest happened recently. Yummy food.
There's a holiday on Monday, so I get a three day weekend. Today I'm going hiking with some friends, then visiting Harborland, where there is an Indian Festival all weekend long! Woot! Sunday I'll probably spend more time at the festival after church, and monday I'm planning to head to Nara where they are going to cut the antlers off the deer. (Mother believes that I'm finding enjoyment in this activity as a revenge for them biting me when I went with Dad...)
This morning I'm cleaning a rocking out to Kansas.
Also, going home in less than 3 months.
Also, "The Raven" came out in theaters yesterday, so i think I'm going to see that. I didn't think it was a big enough film to come out in Japan. Pretty happy about it though.
I'm going to clean now. ttyl
