Random Bits and Bobs

My day has been pretty average, I guess. I had no after-school activities, after all. I had two Japanese lessons and as predicted, only Lauma turned up out of the Okinawa lot. The others were up this morning, however, but did not come in. I like the smaller classes, so I was happy. I think that will stop from tomorrow. Oh, well. It was nice whilst it lasted. There is nothing really interesting to say about either class, apart from some of the tapes that we listened to were ridiculously fast! It is slightly depressing.

I came home on the bus, which was completely packed. So much so that the bus driver decided to just leave, promising to return to collect those remaining. I think they need to sort out their system, slightly. It was never this bad last year. Luckily, we made it out of class on time, so we at least managed to get on, even though we had to stand. Once back at the house, I put my washing on, as it is washday today! Lots of fun there.

I got a package from Hannah, as well today! It had some sweets and a book about Shintoism. I really want to know what it is all about. I guess I should have read it closer to the start of the year, but better late then never, ey?

Speaking of which, I got my times for the flight. I will get in at 4.15 on the Friday. I can go to pick up my ticket in Tenjin if I want, but I do not have to. I will, though, for piece of mind and because I will probably go into Tenjin again at some point. I can also pay the money beforehand, which means I do not have to keep it aside, remembering not to spend it! I shall have to tell Katherine as well.

Among other things, my dad phoned DB and sorted out an issue that I was having. They emailed me twice asking to return some form asap, despite the impossibility. They just accidentally included me on a mass mailing list. I have special permission though! I’m glad it is sorted out now, though. Takes a weight off my mind. I am quite looking forward to working and I do not want to be disqualified before I even start!

This evening I have mostly been programming by kanji program. I am rewriting it to try and make it nicer, though it is slow work at the moment. Once it starts coming together, it should be good, I hope. It should be easy enough to convert it so that it will teach vocabulary as well. Maybe I could sell it!! I also spoke a bit to Adrian and Andy, which was nice. I haven’t talked with them for ages.
