Soon time for bed. Every night I try to go to bed early but I never succeed. Many people have said this before me but I just want to repeat it: 24 hours is not enough. I need more time. When I wake up I have the whole day ahead of me and suddenly I have to go to bed and there’s still so much to do.
Today I went to an interview held by a TV-company that are going to broadcast a show about foreigners in Japan. A friend told me about it and I mailed them and, as I just wrote, I went to Roppongi for an interview. It went well but I was feeling very stressed because of my final exam that I have tomorrow in one of my courses. I haven’t studied at all for it so I’ll just have to wake up early tomorrow and do everything I should have done today. But I think it was worth it, I mean I might be one of the lucky gajins joining this show…who knows….
Tomorrow, after school, I’m going to buy my karate cloth with my karate group. It will be fun, they even embroider my name on it if I want! And I also have to study for my final exams in Japanese. But this weekend I will go out and do something fun, last weekend was very calm because of my cold. But I need to do some fun things now. Ayumi invited me to a Christmas party and I’m going to meet some new friends of mine and Pia too.
The other day I received a call from a woman who wanted to invite me for dinner. It took me a while before I understood that it was a friend of my friend Achara that I worked with at Octapharma this summer! So on sunday we’re having lunch at a vegetarian restaurant in Shinjuku. I will give her some glögg and pepparkakor that I purchased at the Swedish embassy. I think she’ll be happy.
I’ve also started to teach my French student English. It’s going well considering I don’t speak very much Japanese and he doesn’t speak English. He’s joining the French army and therefore he wanted to learn French but he changed his mind into English instead. In the beginning he didn’t smile or talk very much but now he’s beginning to open up. But sometimes I don’t know how Japanese guy’s brains work because he sent me an e-mail saying I was charming etc. I don’t know exactly what he meant by that. But I asked my friends that teach and they said it is quite common that (male) students do so (with female teachers).
Soon winter vacation is coming up, I really need it. I’m so glad my mum is coming, it will be so much fun. I hope she likes it here.
By the way I think I was named after the wrong God, I would have loved to have 10 hands instead of a bad temper.
