tammaiya1. Weather: Today it is not raining. But it has BEEN raining. It has been raining a lot. On Friday I was woken up at 8.30 by gale-force winds. (I'm not the only one, it woke Daniel up too.) Rain aaaaaargh. On the one hand, I like it, but on the other hand, REALLY NOT AN INCENTIVE TO GO OUT. And when my mum told me that apparently September is the monsoon season, I almost screamed, because you mean IT GETS RAINIER? Jesus!
2. Family: Apparently my dog hasn't forgotten me yet, and still tries to crawl into my bed every morning. The other night we decided to test if she could recognise my voice over the computer speakers and I called her to come in Japanese. My parents said she got up, walked in that direction, and then looked really confused, like, where's Siobhan? XD; Aaaaaaw. I miss my puppy.
Have been in contact with parents every day. Modtly this has been a good thing, except in the last few days I've been a bit irritable and have snapped at mum a bit for her nagging. I feel a little guilty about it because she means well, but JESUS, STOP ASKING ME IF I'M SPENDING TIME WITH PEOPLE. I have friends, I'm not sulking around in my room being alone and miserable, so stop asking me all the time if I went out to eat lunch or whatever! *headdesk*
3. Computer: The Japanese-ness is still occasionally irritating. For some reason Norton Antivirus message come up as a string of ???????????? and I have no idea why, because unicode is set to Japanese and Japanese doesn't preclude English characters (unlike vice-versa). Sick of Norton popping up. >O Other than that... the Japanese typing thing is still annoying. I'm getting better at the finger-pecking, but at some point this year I'll have to type up my 4000 character research essay, and it's REALLY GOING TO SUCK. I'm going to have to learn Japanese touch typing before then, I suspect. >< The other thing is Word; it's in Japanese, and mostly that's fine-- it has English spell check, etc-- but sometimes I have difficulty finding things in the menus because I can mostly understand the Japanese but it's also a different edition of Word to the one I'm accustomed to so everything is in a different place.
... I think I must be PMSing, because not only is my intolerance of people going up, so is my intolerance to insulin. it's generally a sign.
Anyway.
Wednesday
My only class on Wednesday is first period, which starts at 9am. Ugh, mornings. Of course, I don't really have room to whine about this because it's not like I don't have 9am classes in Australia... and it's not like I don't live CLOSER here. Actually, I very rarely have to wake up as early here to get to class as I do in Australia. XD; So really I'm just a whiny anti-mornings person in general.
Unfortunately for me, I rolled over at some point and pulled the headphones out of my ipod, which meant the alarm didn't sound. I'm really going to have to start taking my mobile off silent mode ("manner mode") at home so I can use it instead... anyway, luckily, I was subconsciously suspicious that this didn't seem right and woke myself up properly at 8.20, which was totally still enough time to get to class. Before it started properly, though not before the teacher. (I can't help it! LATENESS RUNS IN MY GENES.)
Integrated Japanese, still going through the grammar for text one, mostly focused on written vs spoken language. Have done it before several times in linguistics and Japanese at the ANU, but still interesting.
After class, had whole day ahead of me. Tried to hook my PS2 up to the video game tv. Epic fail! Well, no. It worked. But there was no sound. I had headphones and I was fully intending to use them, but there was no way to get sound at all, and I refuse to play Tales of the Abyss without sound, because hello, VOICE CHATS. (Also, I just don't like playing games without sound.) I'm thinking of getting a TV tuner card for my laptop with ports for plugging in a console. It'd cost me about AU$40 to order over the net... but at the moment I'm preoccupied with FFIII anyway, so I'll leave it until I feel a dire need to play my PS2.
In the afternoon, finally succumbed to the urgent need to go shopping, and caught the train to Musashi Sakai. Confirmed the fact that there is very little clothing that will fit me in Japan, although did manage to acquire an XL blue hoodie from Uniqlo. (PS, you have to take your shoes off to go into the dressing room cubicle, which is one of the few things I've found actively weird in Japan. Taking off your shoes to go into someone's house, a Japanese-style room, whatever, SURE, but a dressing room?! when obviously you're already carrying things to try on? it was very annoying.)
I then spent a ridiculous amount of time buying really heavy groceries (like a 1.5L bottle of no cal coke, I figured out how to fit it in my fridge; plus stirfry vegetables, pineapple wedges, a mango, pork and beef, stirfry sauce, etc). Grocery shopping is time-consuming, expensive and PAINFUL. I had to lug all those bags up to the top floor and spend forever hunting around for a bottle opener (fail), laundry detergent and dishwashing detergent, as well as look at doonas and futons (didn't buy, expensive, felt the need to ask parents before spending their money), which I then also had to carry, and even with a backpack there was a lot of pain and heaviness.
Particularly since I still had to find that hundred yen shop and buy a bottle opener, some kind of scoop, proper sized spoons, more bowls and a plate. ><
This was, by the way, achieved, although it then meant I had to carry all THAT stuff, too. Ow. Ow. OW. Just remembering makes me hurt. Especially since I still had to find my way back to the station from the hundred yen shop, which I wasn't entirely clear on due to the roundabout way I'd ARRIVED there, and then because I suffer from chronic dumbass-itis I got distracted by first a used book/comic/game shop, where I stood around and read the relevant scene from X16 (... damn you, CLAMP) and almost contemplated buying some more game guides (the only reason I didn't, in the end, was because they were used and I am totally anal and was like, BUT THE PAGES ARE DIRTY and also I'm not playing this game right now, wtf self), and then by a NEW book shop. Where I almost bought the most recent few volumes of Tsubasa but restrained myself. Also they had game guides there, too. I love that random bookstores anywhere in Tokyo seem to have both game guides and stacks of manga. XD
Eventually I trudged home, shoulders and neck aching incredibly badly, whereupon I had to cook myself dinner.
Sigh. My life, so hard. (No, not really. And the cooking wasn't so bad. It's just the grocery shopping that's now the absolute bane of my life.) After all that I curled up in the bath and read Mirage of Blaze for a bit, because... well, why not.
Thursday
Had no classes. Slugged around in my room for most of the day, except for when I had to submit a form (and ran into Kaori on my way back to my room, I hope all her tests and interviews are going well) and for when I had to go out to that dumb computer orientation thing. I even cooked myself onigiri for lunch rather than go out, because I was feeling slothful and it was raining. (Again.) -- they were okay, by the way. Kind of boring because I didn't have anything to use as a filling, and one of them was a totally lame shape, but they were edible.
As for the computer thing, oh my god, that's forty minutes of my life I'm never getting back. The guy doing the talk was a really bad public speaker, and he also repeated himself again and AGAIN. More than that Corporations lecturer. (If anybody from my year in law is reading this, they'll probably remember what I mean. Tristan used to keep a tally of how many times this lecturer would say the same thing in a different way.) And what made it worse was the fact that not only were the things he kept repeating written down in the pamphlets they'd given us, but that they were things like "There are two types of password, a password called password and a password called RAS password. You need the password to log onto university computers! You need the RAS password to log onto the wireless network with your laptop! Two passwords, remember? If the password doesn't work, don't forget to try your RAS password!" ... etc.
It was like they thought we were developmentally retarded, couldn't read and had never touched a computer before in our lives. ~_~; Everything he said could have been said in five minutes. Uuuuugh. I was playing FFIII under the desk and it STILL dragged.
After that, made dinner-- essentially the same as on Wednesday, only with pork as well as beef, and far too much of it. Ate half of it, realised that a. I had no clingwrap, b. even if I did, I had no room in my fridge for leftovers, and c. even if I DID, I had no microwave. So I ate the rest of it in the name of not wasting food, and then felt sick.
My life, people. XD;
Friday
Rainy rain rain. As mentioned above, really WINDY too. It was worst in the morning before I got out of bed, but my cheap umbrella almost blew inside out several times.
I had class second period; it was the integrated class, the one I have three times a week. We were just going through the vocabulary for most of the class, so it was a little boring.
After that, had an appointment to see my academic advisor. Realised I'd left my phone, with the instructions to get to her room, in my dorm. Returned to dorm, didn't have my student card in my wallet (what the FUCK? I never take it out of my wallet!) freaked out thinking I'd left it at that stupid computer thing (although I couldn't have, because I'd got back in the night before), was let into the foyer by cleaning staff and then the stair/lift area by another student. Got into room, turned it over looking for my card, found it on the desk. Don't even know why it wasn't in my wallet. *sigh* I'm such a dumbass. I did the same thing with my key the other day, too. (Although I didn't actually go out. I was ABOUT to go out, and was like... so anyway, where's my key? CRAP!)
Went to see advisor, she apparently lived in Sydney for 4 years which is interesting. Everything is okay, on track, etc. She encouraged me to go to the undergrad classes and said if anything was too difficult, Kaori could help me out. Was intending to go to the Edo period poetry class the next period, but it was ten minutes in when I left Saito-sensei's room and there was a notice on the door about a class being moved from that room/period to a different room next period. So I went away, ate soba for lunch at the cafeteria, checked out the library, and came back to try the other classroom.
I walked in and everyone kind of stared at me. I explained to the really baffled looking teacher that I was an ISEP student and was interested in his class, did he mind if I sat in? And he was like, "er... no... but you know this is French, right...?"
Me: ..............
Me: D'oh. Sorry. I thought it was Japanese history. <<; *leaves*
So it looks like the room was double-booked, and the class I was aiming for was NOT the class that got moved. >< Oh well, I'll try some undergrad classes next week. If I'm audit only, I'm not going to get assessed so it doesn't matter if I miss the first class or whatever.
After that, I faffed around trying to connect my DS to the wireless network with no luck (there's no way to input a user name/password into the DS wifi options) and bought more folders. Cute Japanese stationary will end me. On that note, folders/folder paper here is all inexplicably B5 and has about a million holes, so you can't hope to insert pieces of looseleaf paper given to you in class. Which are all A4 or A3. Photocopies are always A3. Nevertheless, the folders ARE very cute and brightly coloured.
Cooked dinner again, but this time used the rice-cooker and chopped up vegetables into the rice. Was nice. Except I discovered, inexplicably, that my kyuupi mayonaise was western style... after I put it in my rice. Wasn't as gross as I thought it might be, but seriously, wtf? It was a Japanese brand! In a Japanese style mayonaise squirty bottle thing! IN JAPAN!
Why you gotta get all western on me at the least opportune moment of all, Japan? D:
Saturday
Another day slobbing at home. Should go out, I know, but I'm really not in the mood right now. (See also, pms?) Wasn't raining but it was still dreary. The one time I left my room was when I threw on a bra and a hoodie over my trackpants and went to dispose of my garbage. XD; Other than that, hung out in my room, watched VS ARASHI (HAHAHA omg, guys, GOLD, if only for the end where they drop Jun in a foam pit for fucking up on the last game), wrote almost 1500 words on boyband!X (VICTORY, I feel all accomplished and stuff!), surfed the net, and played a lot of FFIII. Despite how pissed off it made me every time I died and had to stomp through the dungeon all over again. SOMEONE NEEDS TO INTRODUCE A LOVE OF SAVE POINTS TO THIS GAME, I SWEAR.
I was going through my fridge taking my insulin pens and cartridges out of their boxes because I'd realised, thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_leareth, that the problem I was having with my fridge icing up was because my insulin was blocking the fan (now I just hope they haven't been destroyed from being too COLD. insulin, why so sensitive! UGH.) when I discovered the gyoza type things I'd bought at the supermarket on Wednesday. They had ice on them. Also, their use-by-date was the day after they'd been packed, ie, Thursday.
Which seemed really short to me. Like, a day? What? Surely they were still edible. Especially since they'd been iced... and I didn't want to just throw them out and waste that money, even if it WAS only 340 yen...
So I fried them, realised they had mussels or something inside them, shiftily removed the seafood and ate them for lunch, fully aware that if I died of food poisoning I'd know why and it'd be entirely my own fault.
But it's now Sunday afternoon and I'm still fine, so I guess I got away with it this time! :D?
Oh, btw, ate that mango, wasn't bad but wasn't really worth 400-500 yen either. In future shall forgo mangoes, I think.
Sunday
I haven't mentioned this before, but my dorm is opposite a sports field and on weekends, children play sport, probably for school, much like I did when I was their age. That doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is the announcer guy, who doesn't seem very used to what he's doing and keeps being like "... eeeeeh... blah blah... blah... eeeeeeh..." and that, along with the fact of loudspeaker, makes it hard to ignore him. OMG, STFU, JESUS.
Although he hasn't said anything for a while, so.
Meanwhile, because I was too lazy to go to the combini yesterday, this morning I had to improvise a little for breakfast because I had no milk. (Or coke, or lettuce. But these are less important so far as breakfast is concerned.) Luckily my cereal is the kind that can be eaten with or without milk, so I had a packet of it, a banana, a mandarin and a glass of milk tea. Gooood enough.
And... despite it being 2pm, really that's all I have to say about today. I didn't get up until 12 and I've been on the computer. XD
Posts from now on may as a result be more... ad hoc, meaning more frequent and shorter ("Just had class, it won't stop raining, have formulated intense desire for [insert here] and I'm going out to Shinjuku just so I can get it. I know that makes no sense, SHHH."), or they may not. We shall see.
2. Family: Apparently my dog hasn't forgotten me yet, and still tries to crawl into my bed every morning.
