Haha...haha...

Okay, last time, I promise.

Classes went about the same as they always do, and lunch was surprisingly good for some reason. The weather was also nice and cool for a chance, considering it's been sweat drippingly hot lately (which is about 80 if you're me).

There is also a Bonsai display going on in front of the dorms. It's been there for like a week, but I keep forgetting to mention it. It's right next to the new sanitation stations. They have liquid sanitizer dispensers up front because of the swine flue that isn't in Oita. Ah, well, guess you can't be too careful. I still just go around touching everything though, so screw that noise.

On a more newsworthy note, I had a fee for a monthly payment. I don't... I don't pay monthly, I paid a lump sum at the beginning of the semester. So I went to go ask them about that in the dorm office. To which they replied "Actually you owe us 2100 dollars" and I was all "WHAT!?". I presented them with my bank book to which they were dumbfounded, because apparently they lost my payment. Yeah, that's right.

After about an hour to an hour and a half of trying to discuss this matter with a woman who for some reason refused to use English (all the people in the office speak at least moderate English as a part of their job requirement, so either she snuck through that somehow or it seemed like I understood her Japanese enough for her to continue that way) they basically said that since I had proof that I paid them, or at the very least that I sent two thousand dollars to them, they can't in good conscience make me send them another couple grand to make up for their oopsy. So it's probably lost in the system, and as far as the situation has progressed I don't need to pay.

Which is good, but it was a bit frightening at the time.

Also, talked to Jason about quarter break plans. I'll be going to Kyoto for a week (ish) and probably not be able to blog then. Be gone from about the 29th til the 7th. So, looking forward to that.
