Stressful Morning, Relaxing Afternoon, Fun Evening ^_^

I had a Japanese 298 class from 9:00 so I got up a little early so I could make it in time for class. Unfortunately, Linda Fujikawa who was supposed to be teaching the class won't be teaching this semester because of a family tragedy. So though Linda had been assuring me that the class wouldn't be too stressful what with my taking six classes, including one which was a Writing Intensive course, the teacher I have this semester teaches differently. As in instead of having the choice of writing our papers and assignments in either English or Japanese, we have to write in Japanese. :S As you all probably know, I am not good at writing in Japanese at all... please be praying that I'll be able to do well in this class and at least pass. I'll be needing this class to get back credits for my language courses if I want to transfer to UH to get a bachelor's degree. One nice thing about the class is that I already know one Japanese girl (we took ballet together last semester) and all the other students (most all Japanese girls) seem very nice and friendly.

Getting home though I was still very, VERY stressed about it all (after listening to all the 'requirements' for 2 hours and 45 minutes) that I completely 'crashed' when I got home. Thank you to my parents, Naomi, Erin, and Maki for putting up with me... :P

I had Geography Lab from 1:45 (another 2 hour and 45 minute class) but nicely enough, our teacher just gave the information for less than 15 minutes. ^_^ So Maki and I got to go home very quickly! Geography Lab is going to be pretty easy I think; we only have to show up to class and do the experiments and stuff. No tests, quizzes, papers, essay, exams, assignments, homework... nothing! ^_^ No wonder it's worth only one credit.

Anyway, it was nice being able to get home quickly and have a nice relaxing afternoon. I started on my history paper and did some writing though I seem to be going nowhere on my newest chapter. :S I'd better finish it quickly so I can upload it, lest my fans starting spamming me. :P

Since Naomi was at a meeting, Tina picked Erin, Maki, and I up to go to the Friday night service. It was nice seeing all the familiar faces again though there were some people not there (like Ericson). I'll have to try to get a picture of the omiyage I got for him from Japan... so funny! ^_^

After the service spent a while out on the lanai just talking and fellowshipping. I spent the time mostly carrying Bella around and playing with Malia, Nika, and Kyla though... :P They're all so cute and I love the way the say my name. lol!

Tina, Tiffany, Yoko, Naomi, Erin, Maki and I went to eat at a new ramen shop; I got the pirikara ramen with fried oysters... YUM! It was pretty good, though I think the other ramen shop I've gone to was better.

Will 'see you' tomorrow; good night!
