the truth is i am adapting well here. but tokyo and i have a love hate relationship sometimes. today i compared japan to a child....like me. mom loves me, no doubt, but sometimes......grr shake a fist!! haha. there is no "to go". like today. i decided that since i've been such a good student and i've been working so hard on a project i would treat myself to a cup of coffee (i haven't had a cup of REAL coffee yet. the only coffee i have had is in a can that can be drank in 2 SIPS and it's really sweet and honestly it's not my kind of coffee) so after our daily, seriously i swear i go there everyday, trip to the grocery store i would get some coffee. no. i assumed you can't get it to go because i've never seen anyone walking around with a steaming cup of coffee. it just doesn't happen and i was not about to drag my roommate into a coffee shop so i could have my fix. boo!!! shake a fist tokyo!! i've been eating a lot of chocolate instead.

whatever. what is more important is what is happening on the television. i'm going to miss japanese tv. and i'm obsessed with using chopsticks. last night the roommate and i made dinner and i used chopsticks to eat. she and a guest said "uhh....dude, you don't need to use chopsticks to eat this" and i said, "i don't care" i'd use chopsticks to eat soup if i could. i like it. thank you japan for making eating more fun and enjoyable than it already is.

and don't use a red pen for a homework assignment for a japanese professor because it is considered rude and naive. i have a homework paper to prove it.
