I guess its time to write another one of these blogs. My grandma is passed out in the tatami room. I checked her pulse just in case, because she was lying in such an odd position. She’s okay. I’m hoping Daichi will text me soon to help my write a Japanese resume. It’s so different from how I used to do it, so I definitely need his help.

Today was an easy day, no trash to take out so I got to sleep in a little later. I’m starting to want to wake up early frequently. That way the days feel a lot longer. And the longer the days are, the more I get to do. It’s an obvious analysis, but I ignored that back in the states. Sleeping in tell noon was the norm, and some times as late as 2. I can’t even imagine doing that over here.

I’ve pretty much decided I’m going to the Japanese Institute of language to brush my Japanese. It’s divided in to three groups: beginner 1, 2, and 3, Intermediate 1, 2 and 3, and I advanced 1 and 2. I’m sure ill be able to test out of beginner and go to Intermediate. I should have looked it up earlier. That way I would have meet the dead line of this term and started October 13th. But now I have to wait tell January. That’ll give me enough time to work a little and save up some money. The classes fill up pretty fast so I probably couldn’t have met the October 13th dead line anyways. I’m in no panic or hurry.

I’ve been keeping up with my daily stuff. Push ups and sit ups.( I’ve decided I have to do 100 push ups before I take a course in kyokushin (not your little sisters karate, but something a little bit more intense) I’ve been pretty serious about getting back into drumming too, so I started doing daily rudiments. Plus, playing along to songs on the practice pad. Tomorrow I want to go to the arts and crafts store and pick up rubber pads and wood plates and make 2 more practice pads and try to make a practice kit. I’m drawing something everything too. I feel freed from TV, video games and constant uses of the internet so I can focus on my self. I love this feeling. Its nice that no one has my number yet, and the people who do have their owns lives, so my phone isn’t constantly ringing. I’m thinking of just telling people I don’t have a phone from now on.

Me and ba-chan went down to a stake shop with our coupon we found in the news paper. We didn’t notice tell we got there that the store doesn’t open tell 5 pm and ended up eating at a random Indian shop. At first I wasn’t down for the idea, the place was small and dirty (like every other privately owned restaurants in Japan) and no one was inside but two of the employees. I should have guessed this before, but it was ridiculously good curry and nan. I kept telling my grandma how good it was, and I think the chief herd me. He smiled and gave me a free nan. :)

I’m off to eat dinner with ba-chan. Curry three meals in a row. Lol last night was curry too but oh well, I love that stuff. I hope I don’t get sick like tosan and never want to eat it for a long time.

could you deny this every day? i think not

  1. Hey hey nickolas. Its Becca. That picture is making my mouth water. I am so glad you are ignoring distractions such as the computer and tv and focusing on the things that build your character and develop your talents. I love your new picture. You have so much going on in your head, it is amazing. God blessed you with a unique mind and i think you owe it to the world to share what is inside ( :

    You sound so happy and it fills my heart with butterflies to hear that you are doing so well. I miss you all the time and think about visiting you constantly. Hopefully someday I can make that dream a reality. Love you
