Yawn...

I must say I am getting bored of sitting around and not doing all too much. My tattoo is just starting to scab and peel from what I can see. I have not taken off my hoodie since I last showered…which was the day before yesterday. I am thinking about showering today, but it just makes me cold so I really don’t want to plus my head is kind of itchy. I hope its just dandruff, or something. I looked for lice and it does not look like there are any bugs just like dry skin in my hair. I also don’t want to shower because I don’t want to get the tattoo wet even though I can completely avoid that. I should get it wet I suppose though because I smell from that pit like the smelly kid in class. I can’t was it with soap or scrub it for reasons that will wreck the tattoo. I hope it comes out really well. I tried doing my homework a bit today and I’m pretty sure I am doing most of it wrong but it might be right so I just do it anyways. Then there are the parts that I have no idea so I am waiting until I can get a tutor. Yuki said she would help me but I am kind of embarrassed to receive her help. I suppose I should, I just don’t want to seem stupid. I suppose its more stupid not getting help. Also when I try talking people they don’t know what I’m saying half the time and when I asked someone to say it to them for me in Japanese it’s exactly what I said!! But I don’t know maybe they can’t understand my accent.

I can’t wait until the tattoo is healed and then I can get back to my normal life style of exercising and walking around the area more finding parks and such to view. I’m going to be so out of shape when P.E starts again from doing nothing for 2 weeks; also walking up the stairs to class at the Sayama campus is going to be fun. I counted and there are 132 steps going one way, (down is the easiest, other then the fact that you don’t want to trip and fall down I think you would die). Oh and so much for the trees loosing their leaves the here Bamboo and other trees that in Canada would die in a flash are considered “evergreen trees”…but then again there are evergreen trees in the tropics. I mean all that word means is that a tree stays green all year round. I just figured it was going to be like Canadian boreal areas (naive me) with coniferous evergreens. So yea, only like 1/4th of the vegetation has lost its leaves. I mean there are roses still blooming. Next year I hope it snows a lot so I can play in it back at home ha-ha.

Here is a website if you are interested in learning about some of the traditions of the Japanese New Year festivities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_New_Year
Tomorrow I get to start celebrate it, so I will take as many photos as I can like my Mummy would like. I love you
