Okay

Today was a great day but i did finally break down and buy new shoes here. i was lucky though and got a pair of cute durable converse shoes for only 4408yen. it's like 44 dollars but for this city i was suprised to find them so cheap.

i have been buying shoe insoles at the 100 yen store by the handful. i think now i'm set until next week, just kidding. maybe next month.

classes were a lot better today, i got to see so many of the students this morning and (this part is for elizabeth) Paddy's hair is so long! Abu told me he had a mullet but when i saw him, it wasn't a mullet, whatever it is it looks really cool in person. and sorry but i told him so.

and tomorrow in friday so me and some classmates will go out to a club. i'm excited and i'm grateful that i have more americans than just me going. oh, and great news! i can buy a really nice japanese electronic dictionary from one of my classmates. Sorry mom, the one i got was really for beginners only. but in a turn of luck, she may want to buy my dictionary from me. we're trying each other's out tonight to see if we can handle them/want them. but if we both end up wanting them, i'm going to still need to give her 150-200 dollars to make up the difference.

tokyo is way way more expensive than i thought it'd be. i thought that i'd be able to keep a reign on my pocket book but i cant. i have to buy all of my water/juice/any drinkables. and even though i have a meal plan, it's hard to go without food between breakfast and dinner and always end up buying something. and sometimes, no, everyday so far, i have been getting back to the dorm at around 8pm after leaving at about 7am. and i'm pretty much on my feet the entire time.

goodness, i have homework and my clothes should be done in the washer so i gotta go. besides i'm so sweaty, i've got to shower. japan is like a sauna all the time.

LOVE YOU!!!!!!
