At lunch the other day I was sitting with this boy who is slightly insane. He has names for the girls in his group, one girl is “potato” one girl is “panda” and one girl is “pineapple.” I think he likes ‘P.’ So anyway, he pointed at Potato and said to me “She is a […]

There is this one girl in my third grade (middle school, so ninth grade in the states) class number 2 who worries me sometimes. She is very quiet… but not in a shy way. More in a “I hate everyone” way. She is very pretty and quite smart, because when she does actually participate in […]

Advanced English 9th Grade

I see the advanced english classes for ninth grade once a week. They are all really good kids and pretty good at english. There is this one boy in class 3-3 who is very open about his feelings. The first day of class they all made name plates in english so I […]

I did some hard-core shopping as well. Got a new book bag, a new purse and a new small […]

Well I was completely exhausted today after school. Had elementary school at Minami Shougakkou and on the way up the side of the mountain my bike decided to not work anymore. I don’t think it takes a charge sometimes. Anyway, I was completely tired and sweaty and hot and miffed by the time I got […]
