Woke up at 6:39am, laid in bed until 7:20am. Got up and got ready. Put together my lunch and left at 8:15am, got to work at 8:25am. The track and field coach came into the staff room and thanked me again for helping run track practice the day before. She gave me a bag full of green peppers as a present...I wonder if she knows I like my belly. I was in the staff room alone for a while afterward as the whole school was outside practicing for the sports festival. Rokudai-sensei called to say he would come by to get my signature for my insurance. He came by shortly after, I filled out the sheet, signed and made a copy for myself. I chatted online with Mums Saada and Ericka, emailed back and forth with Khaleelah about the upcoming weekend. I went outside to watch some of the practice and applauded the students as they were finished and heading inside for lunch. I swear the littlest things make them happy..they were ecstatic that I was applauding them on a job well done. During lunch, the lady that shares out the food gave me some type of chicken mixed with egg (da bomb!) and a rice ball(onigiri). I left work at 1:30pm to wait for the internet people to set me up. I dropped the movie off at the video store on my way. I got home, seasoned some chicken and around 1:30pm Sakane came by. The NTT staff came shortly after, then Rokudai-sense and then the same salesmen that came a few days prior. My internet was up and running after about 20 minutes as well as my ip phone(modem phone). I shared my freshly made brownies with everyone. They kept saying oichi(delicious) and had seconds and some thirds lol. Rokudai-sensei arranged to pick me up for 8:30am the following day to take me to a foreign food store. Everyone left and I started to upload some of my pictures online to add to this blog. I went to bed just after 12am.
Saturday, September 15, 2007Woke up at 8am, got ready and chatted online while waiting for Rokudai-sense to pick me up. He called at about 8:45am saying he was downstairs. We drove to the foreign food store @ Aeon mall in Himeji. The mall is HUGE! We walked around the 2 floors and went into the electronics store to look at the cameras. Rokudai knows staff in there so if I decide to buy my camera there, he can get me a discount. We left the mall and went to 2 recycle shops. They are like second-hand stores, but better. I bought a sleeping bag for ￥800 (just under $8 CAD) and was also going to buy a blender, but decided to wait and keep looking. We drove back to Aioi, I relaxed for the rest of the day. I talked to Mums, Shiniece & Cassandra on Skype for the first time using the webcam. It was Mums first time period so she was kind of giddy, just staring at me on the webcam. It was hilarious to see her facial expressions. I went to bed fairly late, I can't remember the time.
