Got home from Casey's today.

Thursday = Had Japan Club again! Kudos to Alex for bringing...Andrew? Forgot my books so we did review then covered Kore, Sore, Are, Dare, Doko, and Nani/Nan.

Friday = Cleaned from 12-3:30 befor going home and eating. Then went and had a private lesson from Jerry-Sensei at his Nipponjutsu dojo. He taught me some basic rolls and stretches. Finally went to Casey's to work.

Saturday = Caulked the front side of Casey's house and then went to Burger King. On the way home, I took a turn to quickly and, in the rain, slid into a curb. My tire popped and I drove it the quarter mile back to Casey's. After a quick trip to Big O Tires, we found that I bent my axel or something. I was fine with a new tire but I cried after finding out I broke my axel.

I cried because I basically threw away my Japan spending money. I was a dumbass and took things too fast and now I'm paying for it. But all my Real Life (RL) friends aren't too worried and Casey pointed out that at least I learned my lesson without anything serious happening. I thought hard about it. Its true...no one got hurt...no other cars were involved...Better now than later.

Called my parents and they didn't get super pissed or anything. That made me feel better. Nothing's worse than being chewed out for something you already acknowledge and regret.

Sunday = Got home around 2 thanks to my parents. Now I'm just sitting here worrying about tomorrow. I'm pretty resilient, I'll bounce back.

Tomorrow I will call up the insurance company and be able to go to Jerry-Sensei's class Tuesday. But I think that's wishful thinking. I'd at least be able to go Satuday. All things said...What a fucking great way to start spring break!

All my posts will be like that top bar thingy. I will say the time it is in Idaho, followed by Japan.

Went to Khayman's to give him Morrowind and he gave me this journal. Thanks Khyaman! Going to Japan to visit Yukiko, Corey, and the kids. On April 30th, 2009, I will fly to San Francisco on a "peddle glider" then spend ~11 hours on a plane before arriving in Japan.

I'm a little freaked. I'll be all alone for an entire day hopping onto planes and being confused as hell. Then I found out school doesn't end til May 14th...ish. So I also have to catch up enough to not throw $1400 away. I'm brushing up on my Japanese and am excited for the trip to come.

Sure hope I don't die until then...
