Exact Change

So I finally went about setting up the site in English. I don't know if I mentioned it, but my blogger page (from my perspective) has been in Japanese since... about the beginning. It's not that I was challenging myself using it (I wasn't, I know where all the buttons are) I was really just too lazy to change it back to English.

My Myspace is all in Japanese too, actually. I should get on that.

Today's class was just as boring as most of them are, and for some reason I was absolutely out of it. Not sure if I got enough sleep or something, probably relating to my waking up at 5 for no actual reason while I had class at two in the afternoon. I've screwed up my sleep schedule in the opposite direction apparently, and somehow I'm not upset over it. I've always wanted to be a morning person, if only for the fact that I enjoy not rushing things last minute (as far as my morning routine. Final papers are another thing entirely).

I also went to my first (their second) meeting of Senjinkai for this semester, so that was nice. Or would have been. There were only 5 people there when I showed up, and nobody else came. The officers had no idea where everyone was, and the meeting was kind of stilted as a result of nobody knowing what to do about it. Good news though is that apparently I learned more Japanese over the break than I thought, because I wasn't sitting there listening to them drabble on in their moonspeak about things that I couldn't care to understand. I actually got about 70% of what went on. Except for when they asked me questions directly. Funny how that works.

Afterwards I was thirsty, and I thought I needed something else from the school store so I headed there. Ah, right. I've been out of paper towels for like a month! So I check it out, they cost 126 yen. Dang, I didn't have much yen on me, so I should count to make sure that I have enough to get a drink as well. Drinks are 110 yen and.... I have another 110 yen. Exactly. I had exactly 236 yen on me, just coincidentally. I laughed to myself and went to the register. When the girl read the price I just plopped the handful of change on the counter and she gave me kind of a sideways look, like "what are you doing?". Then she spread it out in the pay tin and realized that it was exact change, looked even more confused, and then gave me my receipt. I felt accomplished afterward until I realized that even if I didn't have enough change to cover it I still had some yen on my Co-op card that could've been used in case.

Oh backup plans, you ruin all the funny.
