Stuffed

I put some money in my postal account this morning before school, as my mobile phone bill money comes out of it on Thursday. I tend to leave it until the last minute before putting enough money in to cover the expense. My phone has been useful and I think that it has been worth it. I wonder if I will get a company issue phone and computer from Deutsche Bank? I very much doubt it, but we shall see.

Class was fine: much the same as usual. We went over everything that we did yesterday, again, as I do not think we were supposed to have done it yesterday. It was good practice, I guess, and it still takes me a while to work out which verb I should be using. With practice, it should come, I hope. Drummond was not there again today, as he was sorting out his future somewhat, and Ciarán was also absent, as he has been recently.

I had lunch (a giant, curry rice that completely filled me!) before coming back on the bus. Ikema-sensei is taking us all out to dinner on Sunday night, I think. He said I had good manners as I bowed to him when I said hello. He also said that Seb walks around on his mobile phone bowing just like a Japanese person even though the person cannot see him doing it. When Ikema-sensei said that we had good Japanese, Hirata-sensei (who was in the room at the time) commented that we were a special year, i.e. better than the others were.

I had an email from a random Japanese person called Keisuke asking me how I found Japanese life and food. I guess that he is in Ikema’s English computing class, as the others all seem to have received such an email before. I think I was the only person willing to communicate with these kids, as all the rest just moan about it.

Other things that I have done today include watching anime (I love it. It is so gripping); doing my homework; writing more of my program (which I have started yet again); and testing myself on kanji.
