Today I had no classes and spent the day studying at my desk. I could end the entry right here, but that’s not so interesting. Let’s see if I can dredge up some details.
After school ended I met up with some of the ESS members who had come to the wedding and some that hadn’t, and I showed them the pictures and handed out some souvenir pictures for them to take home. They gave me a wedding present – a photo album. It was really nice of them. The photo album is actually for a new baby – there’s a little area to put in their birth certificate and vital information, so either they made a mistake or they want us to get busy.
A very rare thing happened when I got home today – Kuniko was already there waiting for me. She was cooking up a delicious (healthy) dinner – miso soup, tofu, and some gyoza. We had some magical kanten in our soup, and then snacked on a little dessert before going out on our mission.
The mission was to get a new hard drive for the computer (mine is the one I brought over from America almost three years ago, and I’m getting nervous that something might crash). We also went shopping at Carrefour for a taco party that we’ll be having on Saturday.
On our way to Carrefour we stopped at the gas station to fill up our plastic drum with kerosene. The gas station was packed! It looked like those old photos from the 70’s… cars were lined up into the street. Other gas stations weren’t so busy, but when you see that many cars lined up you’ve got to start thinking a little bit. What is going on here?
Now we’re back home, and I’m about ready to go in and take a hot bath. I got the hard drive up and running in two minutes, and I have 250 more gigabytes of space. I’m moving over my pictures and other irreplacable things to have some backups.
Tomorrow I’m meeting Antoine in Sannomiya to catch up, and then Saturday is the taco party. Another action-packed weekend…
