Big Ice Cream Sandwiches!

Yesterday I had a pity party for myself. I felt like being here sucked. I only invited my mom to this party.

Today, I am doing much better. I am liking Japan today. It is kind of crazy to think that I am operating in such a different place. It feels like I was taken out of time and put into this reality. It isn't bad, just different. But what excites me most is that I will be leaving!

I told Dufus that I would prefer it if he would not mention my name when he tells stories or makes statements. He usually is making ignorant/ innaccurate statements that don't want to be associated with. I just said that I didn't always agree with what he was saying so please stop mentioning my name. He then asked what else he was doing wrong or things that would create stress. I don't feel it is my job to fix the kid... though i do have a list of things... I just mentioned that he should be concious of respecting people's space and environment because it is very important here. AKA stop biting your nails all the time, touchign things with germy fingers, and spitting out the nails you choose not to eat!

We went out with my Boss for dinner because he leaves tomorrow, he paid and i ate a lot. I had a small plate of fruit, which in America is a large plate of fruit. IT came with a sparkler and delicious. I am happy because i am full. It definately beats the cookies and coke I had for dinner last night.

I think Dufus may be done with me too. He is going into work a half hour earlier tomorrow. i think this may be becuase he is trying to be better at the program than I am. I enjoy my sleep and don't feel like I need to rush to work. I also am much better than he is at this program... but that is because I am very smart!

LEARNED
So there is a sort of Gargle Fountain. My US manager said not to drink it, but he couldn't explain what it was.... I am curious about it. People gargle the water but I don't know what it could be.

Doors "pull" in Japan. In the US they usually push, i think for fire safety in america. I keep trying to push before I pull.

I learned more drawing stuff... it is easy. I will have to start studying for my test monday to be sure I know all the required information.
