Sad times
It's been almost 2 weeks being with my roommate and she still has yet to say more than 5 words to me in a day. I'm not counting in a row, but in a single day! I try to warm up to her, I say 'morning' to her every day, but I get a nod in return.
I've only seen her talking to one person in the dorm. And when she's at the dorm she's either studding in the kitchen or in our room. ALL day yesterday, which I might add was a holiday, she stayed cooped up in the room with her homework. Today I'm guessing she did the same thing...Which isn't a bad thing, but I've yet to see her do anything. And it would be nice to have some solo time in the room as well, to study or skype or have a few friends over...
I'm hoping she'll warm up a bit in the weeks to come, but if not I don't think I can stand 3 months of living with ghost. Not having anyone to talk to yet not having a moment alone!

So I'm finally updating here again! Let's see if this term I can keep up on updating on a more regular basis...I kinda doubt it, but I can try at least right!
So I've almost been back for a full week! Yay~ And literally it felt like I never left. I was back with everyone and it felt so normal. And the weather was too perfect, so nice and warm. Of course the first thing I wanna do is get something to eat. Airplane food sucks and I didn't really eaten anything in quite a few long hours. So Ariel, Jenn, and I headed out and ended up just going to Top World, which was perfectly fine!
And since being back felt so natural and perfect, the first thing the next morning...Wake up bright an early to go see Gantz! Hitched some rides with people who had bikes and we all headed down to the station to meet up with Aya! (OMG the mermaid hill was SO MUCH fun to ride down!!!) I was so happy to finally see her again! Gantz was too awesome!!! And it was only the first part, so we have to wait a few months for part two to come out... T.T We spent the rest of the day at Sem House 2 hanging out. Ariel and I started watching Bloody Monday, so awesome!
The next day, Kagrra,'s album came out! Of course that was one of the first things I had to buy! Got the CD+DVD version and got a pretty poster with it! It came with a card of Akira in it! We headed to campus and payed everthing. And we ran into Katie! I kinda attacked her, it was so much fun! We went to get concert tickets for Kagrra,, but they were all sold out so I was kinda super depressed! But a few days later we went to Shinsaibashi and ran into ZEAL LINK and they're having a Kagrra, signing event, so Katie, Jenn, and I got tickets for it. I had to buy the album again, but HEY it was cheaper that the concert and I got a load a goodies with it! A photo set and it came with Shin inside it!
I got into one of the 2 classes I wanted. So as of right now I have a 7th period and I really don't want one! Luckily its Hollstine's class and the one I want is also his, so I can beg him to let me in to the other one. And if I get in to the one that I want, I'll have classes only on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons! Though if the one I'm in right now is interesting, I might end up keeping it and having 3 classes again...
Aya made us all watch a scary Japanese movie, which because I missed the start or because I couldn't understand a thing that was going on, it wasn't scary at all! So it was epic fun watching everyone else get scared from it! Though, I just found out that an actor that I like is in the second one of the movie, so I kinda wanna see that one too just for him. And if it's anything like this one, it shouldn't be too bad at all! I hope...
Friday after going to the gym with Gabe, Jenn, and Lily we eat lunch at KappaSushi. SO GOOD!!! I've missed cheap sushi! Then Katie, Ariel, and I went to Shinsaibashi. Shoppers back in their element! We spent the whole afternoon in Amemura only, most of it in Pure Sound. I happily spent every little and came away with a nice little hall of really cheap albums! I almost got a shirt in SEX POT OSAKA since they were having a 30-40% off everything sale, but I couldn't find a shirt I liked so I didn't get anything. But in Regulas they had a bunch of Gloomy Bear items, Ariel got a black Gloomy Bear card purse for his train passes. And I finally found a normal sized pink/original Gloomy! This is also where we got the tickets for the Kagrra, event.
Yesterday we headed over the Sen House 1 and we played this scary board game, it was SO fun!!! I'm going to have to find it. It kinda reminded me of my old 221 B. Baker St. game that I have, but a haunted house rather than London. Before that though, Ariel and I made chocolate covered caramels. We took a bunch the caramels I made (which were a hit by the way!) and made chocolate and then covered them in coco powder! They turned out so amazing! I wanted to eat more, but I hadn't eaten anything but chocolate all day...We also ended up going to the little Okonomiyaki place by us and I got Yakisoba, man I love this stuff!!! And Ariel moved back in with his host family today, so the night was sad not having anyone to watch dramas with...
Today was pretty awesome! Got all checked in to the dorm and am now all settled into my room! My desk is just a bit bare of things...I feel like I need some little things on it to make it more homely...After check in and the dorm meeting we headed down to the station. Sukiya was full, but we found another small Gyudon restaurant right by it and had lunch. Then we got snacks in the 100 en shop and headed up to Ring for an afternoon of Karaoke! It was too long since I last sang so much! We had a blast and I finally found that Alice Nine song that I've been looking for forever, it was Fantasy~ On the way back to the dorms we got food since we can finally start cooking things since all the home stay people have moved out. So I finally have real food that I can eat and cook! Yay for breakfast! ~<3
This was post number one of the term! Classes start tomorrow and I get back to normal life!
