Day 49 : Lalala
Oct. 27th, 2010 06:37 pmIt has finally started to get colder. Now it is autumn for sure. The weather doesn't look like it's going to get warmer than 65 degrees. I don't like it that much, to be honest. I liked it better when it was in the 70's. Now I have to deal with the cooler nights. I can already feel my hands numbing over. lol. That means I'm gonna start sucking at typing very very soon. Ah...what a world.
Recently I was talked into buying weight sets. It was only $125 for the both of us, and I'm pretty excited that I'm going to be starting to work out. Because, honestly, I'm so tired of being this skinny little boy with a somewhat flabby body. (Kinda a contradiction, right?) So this is the first step towards improving myself. And since I have a friend doing this with me, I'm sure I'll actually get something done for once. That's exciting in and of itself.
This Friday I'm going to some part of Japan (sorry, I can't remember the name) to do a home stay. I'm...full of mixed emotions about it. Of course I'me excited, but I'm nervous beyond belief. For one, I'm going to be living in someone else's house! That would already be weird in America, let alone in another country. Two, what if I do something that seems disrespectful even though I didn't mean to be that way? Ah...I don't know what to do. I guess I'll find out very soon.
Let's rethink some things here. First off, I have to say that I've been completely and utterly unmotivative lately. I've had no desire to do anything, and was just half-assing everything I did. Well! I decided the other day to change my attitude, and it seems to be working! I've already started to study more than before! I'm excited about that! I really do need to study more... Classes are getting more difficult. Japanese is hard at times. It's a different way of thinking, so it keeps me on my toes all the time.
Actually, that was the only thing I felt like rethinking. So...yeah. I guess this is getting longer than I had originally intended, but that's okay. I'll just keep typing. Not like I type slowly or anything. In fact, I'm pretty sure this will take 10 minutes max to do, even with me getting distracted by other things. :D
Might as well talk about my karaoke night! That was so much fun. This past Sunday (10/24) I went with my friends for drinks and karaoke! It was super fun! I love karaoke bars here... Seriously, you can find almost any song you want. Of course I was like a kid in a candy shop when it came to singing Namie Amuro songs. I just couldn't help myself. All my Japanese friends were impressed when I sang her song "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?". It's a slow song, but I know all the lyrics, so I pretty much owned it. :D And of course I got drunk. Haha. But not to worry! I had done all my school work earlier that day! My studies were not hindered by the drinking!
Ah! I need a hair trim... It's getting longer, and the sideburns and hair on my neck is getting long and annoying. But...it appears as if Japanese hair salons are expensive as hell. Honestly, $40 for a haircut? Umm...no. I will not pay that much just for my hair to be trimmed. I'd have better luck doing that myself. In fact, I think I shall use my razor just to shave the hair on my neck. That's what I'll do.
Okay, now I've begun to just talk about nothing. Hahaha. I'm sorry. If anyone's reading this, then they must be terribly bored by now. :D
