Yesterday was a great day. I woke up early and hung around on campus, playing some games, making breakfast, drawing a bit out of boredom. Then I remembered that I needed to hand in the work permissions application, so I went ahead and finally did that. They say it'll be in sometime after the first of next month, so I'll have that in and can try to get a bit of work after the mid semester break comes around.
I got in a full work out in the morning too, which was really nice because I haven't really gotten to that in a while. I'm not sure if I've mentioned that at all in here but I've been trying to do a bit of working out here on account that otherwise I'm just sitting on my ass at my desk all day. Really, desk, bed, and kitchen in a cycle. There is nothing to do on campus and very little within walking distance, so there isn't much of a point to leave the dorms. Although now that the weather is nicer I think I'm going to try walking down town. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half from what I've heard, so better make sure my iphone is charged else I want a really boring walk.
I went downtown and immediately negated the workout by going to McDonald's and an internet cafe. Go me! I've been meaning to get down to the internet cafe for a good week now and just haven't bothered with it (been looking for shoes instead) so it was good to get down there. Finished downloading Thor comics (all of them. I have all of them now. Boo ya.) and watched Hot Fuzz on
After I got out of there I was hungry again. So, I figured I should get some ramen. The internet cafe is right next to Ku-ta Ramen which is the best ramen in the world, but I figure I need to diversify a bit. I was going to just be lazy and eat the stuff at You Me town again, but I passed the smelly ramen place and decided to stop there. Really this place smells. Or at least from the outside, cause it wasn't so bad inside, but the outside smells like raw sewage. Pretty sure it's supposed to, though. Tonkotsu ramen is made with pork bone and is supposed to smell rank, and it's said that the more awful it smells the better it tastes. And the place is Ooita Tonkotsu Ramen, so I guess it's living up to its namesake. The ramen was also damn cheap at only 500 yen for a good sized bowl, and it was pretty good. There were these weird possibly vegetables in it that I had no idea what exactly they were, but they were tasty. Unfortunately I didn't eat the seaweed paper, because I wasn't exactly sure how to go about that, and when it got down to it it was the only thing left in the bowl. Felt sort of bad, but I also feel like I don't really care.
Went to You Me town afterward to pick up some snacks and a One Piece figure (shut up) and to look at the shoes again to see if they've changed. I probably am going to be stuck buying an 80 dollar pair of shoes. They'd better last me for that much. I'm going to try Foot Park before anything though, and hopefully they've got cheapass shoes that I can pick up. The soles on mine are practically nonexistant and there is a small hold that you can poke through on one of them. I have a feeling we're going to hit a rainy season again, so probably a good idea to get some watertight foot coverings.
I was sort of in and out on the bus ride home, which was nice because it went faster. Got back to campus and fell asleep the second I sat down, then woke up a few hours later and took all the stuff out of my pockets and got my shoes and belt and glasses off so that I could sleep for real. And forgot to blog in the process.
Well, I'm better now, things should fare well tonight. Still though, the day was really enjoyable for having done most of that stuff alone (ran into someone I knew at McDonald's though) so I should try to get that going on more often. Hurrah.
