Today was my first official day of Japanese lessons! I'll have class every weekday until the 15th. Class went surprisingly well! I really feel like I'm learning a lot already. I hope I can put everything into practice around Japan.

 

Today was also the day we went to the Tori no Ichi festival! It was a really great atmosphere, and I enjoyed the food I got. I took a few pictures as well, but wish I had taken more. Hopefully the other members of my group will upload their photos for everyone to see. I want a lot of photographs this time to remember my trip. Oh I even bought a small bamboo rake for the family business. We need all the help we can get with who's running the place... honestly, mom needs to be running it. But anyway. I prayed and offered a coin at the temple, then walked around and checked out the stalls. I mostly hung with Bonnie, who's pretty cool honestly! I had a great time. And I found out Elia likes Steven Universe mmmmaybe as much as I do. I can't wait for us to really get a chance to talk about the show and our favorite characters. And I really need to send him the video of Deedee singing It's Over, Isn't It? at the convention. Definitely one of the highlights of my life!

 

I can't believe I'm saying this, but today was a pretty good day. I'll probably move this entry to another one of my blogs, since this is more for change logs than it is for blogging, really.
