musings

So, screw it. Back to English.

Apparently for Japanese class, one of the assignments is to create your own blog (yes, on blogger even) and make entries in Japanese. So… Back to normal. Trying to write entries in Japanese was making me want to write less often, rather than more often (if it’s even possible for me to write less often). Yes, I did have wind of this ahead of time, as Saegusa-sensei had mentioned it in an offhanded and vague sort of way, but I’d be happier making a new blog than sacrificing my regular one for a homework assignment. Granted, a homework assignment constituting a reasonable chunk of my grade, but still.

In other news, I have a job. My first day of work was last Thursday. It was exciting.

… It’s weird. I keep getting these xanga digests. I get the journal entries from Mary and Kaila and Ashley and Sarah and Chaffin and a bunch of other people from high school who I haven’t talked to in a year. I just see the things they’ve written… I didn’t talk to anyone this summer. The weekend before classes started I went with Daniel to Grand Junction. We set out on Thursday and stopped in Aurora for lunch. I saw Srav, Tiff, and Amber at the Chipotle. That was the extent of my socializing. I talked to Danika on the phone maybe three times. Mostly to say that I couldn’t hang out, since I was in Boulder, and had classes, or other things going on. I haven’t checked anyone’s weblog since the beginning of summer, pretty much. I didn’t have the time or the internet connection.

I wonder if anyone bothers to read this anymore. I know that Daniel checks it every now and then, and my dad does too. But… Who from high school would care, anymore? Do they? I wonder if they wonder how I’m doing, just like I wonder when I see that Sarah’s posted something. I expected that Chaffin was gone, but it’s weird to hear it. I wonder how many of the IB juniors (freshmen now) are coming to Boulder? But even if they are, will I see them? Will I talk to them? It’s odd to pass by someone you know, say hello, then go on as if nothing happened. It doesn’t mean anything anymore.

It was so nice to see Jude and Spencer in class last Monday. I’ve missed them terribly. It’s nice to stay at Daniel’s apartment until midnight hanging out on the couch with Cam while he plays video games. It’s nice to see Genny. It was nice to walk with Spencer today. It’s really fun to hang out with Cami.

Tonight, I got home before ten (gasp) and we watched the last five minutes of Buffy, then went to my room to watch the Serenity trailer on my desktop.

I have internet again. I’ve missed it.

Not as much as I’ve missed my friends…

I need to call Nikki. She said she had something important to talk about. I miss her too…

But I still have Daniel. Weird, that he hasn’t gotten sick of me. I’m glad.

私の恋人

背が高くて、目がきれいで、歯がちょっと黄色くて、髪が長いです。毎朝、起きて、朝ご飯を食べます。つかれても、昼ご飯を作って、仕事へ行きます。午前八時半から午後五時まで働いて、家へ帰ります。

笑った時、本当に嬉しいみたいです。

He's tall, he has pretty eyes, his teeth are a little yellow, his hair is long. Every morning, he wakes up, and eats breakfast. Even if he's tired, he makes lunch and goes to work. From 8:30 to 5:00, he works, and then he returns home.

When he laughs, he looks truly happy.

つまらない物

音楽:パフィーの「スイスイ」

昨日工学のビルに二人のダニエルの一週間に一回の会議が終わる時、プリンターを使うために同じの部屋に行った。二人番のダニエルは私に日本語のクラスで聞きまして、このページを打ち明けました。「日本語で書くの?つまらないはずだよ」と言いました。本当につまらないですか。

music: Puffy Amiyumi – Sui Sui

Yesterday, just before the end of the two Daniel’s weekly meeting in the engineering center, I went into the same room in order to use the printer. The second Daniel asked me about my Japanese class, and I told him about this webpage. “Writing in Japanese? That’ll be boring,” he said. Is it really that boring?
