I managed an 86% overall but that was the Level 4. Anyways after the
test we had this lunch at the Okazaki New Grand Hotel. Boy was I
surprised, it turned out to be one of the silliest parties I have ever
been to. It was a costume party, and although Roxy mentioned this, it
didn't really sink in for me. I just wore the cheongsam I had bought
which worked out well. The speech for the self-introduction turned out
to be no big deal which was a huge relief. We had a mexican singer
before we got served our lunch,first salad, then soup, then an
appetizer and then the main course, oh and of course dessert. It was
one of the best lunches I have had in a while, and yes Eden I took
pictures of the food, just for you :P. There were various other
performers, all in all it was really entertaining. We ended up dancing
and forming a conga line to end off the party. I met up with John
afterwards but on the way there ran into Mai(One of the Aichi three) so
I may have a clubbing buddy for tomorrow *fingers crossed* turns out
she lives close to kamimaezu, so I might even have a shopping buddy!
Anyways had a little bit of a celebration dinner at Saizeriya although
once again lost my appetite...I think it's John, I never can seem to
finish a meal in his presence. So I got home at around 9 and intend to
finish my last essay that is actually due tomorrow.
Well I didn't even start the essay until Friday morning, but I finished
it by about 9 in the morning only to find out that class was cancelled
for second period. No big deal, just meant I had four hours of time to
kill hahahaha. Interesting developments but I can't throw
stones...hahaha. Had the last class with Nishio, and then went to ID at
around 11ish. To my surprise, Jay met me at the front as opposed to
John, he got me my Zima and then for about half the time until John got
there I was kind of lost on what to do. Satomi got there later and we
literally danced the night away. After ID we went to Cream and although
Jay and John went home at around 3:30am, Satomi and I stayed at Cream
until around 4 am because then these creepy foreigners were trying to
pick us up. We went to the bar below Cream where Satomi treated me to
breakfast. We had celery, carrots, rice korokke, potato salad, pumpkin
and I even got a hot chocolate. I was introduced to the bartenders
there Yoshi and gosh I can't remember the other guys name, everyone
just called him Tencho (as in manager) and then Satomi's friend Kan
came later and he knew English because he had been in Australia. He
told me I was young and cute hahaha, haven't gotten that compliment
before. He was good looking but like everyone else I was hanging out
with, he smokes, so friends only. I tried to explain the symbolism of
the pink elephant but it was very difficult to explain it in Japanese.
Still very entertaining, I was able to use a lot of my Japanese without
feeling too awkward. Satomi mentioned how I could stay at her house if
I wanted to stay longer, but after talking to John I need to double
check because she might have just said that because she was drunk. I
mentioned how I liked strawberries and then Tencho was like oh we have
strawberries so I had those as well and then a banana and even
chocolate (and yes this was at about 5:30 in the morning). Talk about
good hospitality. Tencho had this really really cool toy it was
literally a pet dinosaur. But you pet it and it was like it was alive.
It was so cute! it would even make the kissing sound if you touched its
mouth. I wanted it...but i found out that those types of toys cost
$500. Anyways at around 7 am, Kan drove me to Kanayama so I got home at
about 8 am and went to sleep. I woke up at around 1 pm. Dinner was
fish, salad, daikon, broccoli and rice. I talked more with my host
family and for once all my host sisters were around so we hung out
until around 9 where i started getting tired but even now can't really
sleep, too many things to think about...
