Kanji Day

Continuing with the short posts, here's a list of things I learned today:

• The nice lady we met during the train delay yesterday actually lives on our street, and is eager to show us around Saitama and speak English with us.
• The best part about having a big blanket on the floor is that I can just throw clothes and stuff there when I don't have time to deal with them, just like I'm used to doing haa.
• Learning to dance makes it hard to walk.
• Kanji day is the worst day.
• Sometimes you stereotype people, and they end up surprising you. Other times you stereotype people and they end up being dead on and so you get a photo taken with them to remember them by.
• There's too much homework and not enough time to do it.
• How to do some locking (dance).
• Locking is really fun.
• Locking is difficult and too fast.
• It's fun to watch skilled people lock.
• "Lock" in Japanese pronunciation not only sounds like "rock", but also the Japanese word for "six."
• Sukiya has coupons.
• Now I have coupons (thanks again Jeannette!)
• I know less kanji than a lot of the kids in class.
• Four raisin croissants is an adequate breakfast.
• A four raisin croissant breakfast every morning is gonna add up.
• The gaijin card looks nice.
• The weather is warming up.
• Sometimes new shirts you buy without trying on fit better than you expect them to and turn out to be a great purchase.
• I didn't bring enough T-shirts/sweatpants to be in a dance club.
  
• Fashion tennis shoes are not proper athletic or fitness footwear.
• I miss Nick a lot.
• Bananas at Shop 99 are actually a lot cheaper than the ones we bought off the street.
• Warabi station is a lot farther away that it looks, especially if you walk yourself around in a circle first (sorry again guys!)
• I could probably make it to bed before midnight if I'd use my time a little more wisely.
• Just one game of spider solitaire to unwind can last a long time.
• Blogging, in any form, takes too long.
