Under the Sea

Things have been going quite well lately. Mid terms are over and I got all grades back except for one. I got a 100 on World Music, 98 on Japanese Culture and a 95 on Japanese. Not too bad if I do say so myself. Now I have a few weeks to chill before getting into the hard work again. I am all scheduled for classes for next semester so that is a relief. Next weekend I am going to be working at a High School English camp. We get paid $200 and all of our accommodations are paid for, including food and hotel. Not only that but all of my friends are going as well.

This past weekend was a surprisingly good time considering I didn't have any real plans in advance. Friday I went with Amanda, Kyle, Dave and Sean to Shinjuku. I hadn't hung out with them since the beginning of the semester so it was a good time. We went to a German bar and then we found another "The Lockup" restaurant. We were very very rushed for time before the last train at The Lockup and all of them were drunk so it made for quite an adventure. Luckily we made it back for the last trains. Saturday I went to Shibuya with Lucas to buy records for some friends. We also found a really good conveyor belt sushi place. That night a bunch of us from the dorm had some wine and relaxed and had a great time.

Sunday was one of the best days I've had since I've been in Japan. Lucas, Jon and I went to Disney Sea! We tried going to Disney Land, but it was sold out...even at 10:00 am. I was pretty bummed out but we made our way across the complex to Disney Sea which is kind of like Epcot in the sense that there are different countries as different ports around a big lake. It was magical, of course, as soon as we got there. From the second I got to the park I became a 10 year old again. It was fairly crowded, but I know how to work the system between the fast passes and single rider lines. We got to ride everything...including Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. I got my picture taken with Minnie, Daisy, Goofy, and the Genie. I was singing and dancing the whole time. When we first got to the park, we all held hands and skipped down the road. The weather was beautiful. It was just the greatest day ever. I love Lucas and Jon so much. They are the best people ever.

I'm trying to go to Disney Land sometime this week, hopefully Thursday, so I can see all of the Halloween decorations. Speaking of Halloween, I am so excited for it. I finally made my costume today. I'm going as a Grecian Goddess in a toga with flowers around my head. There are a bunch of parties and parades and I can't wait.

That's all for now. Woo.
