Mondaaaay. Today was Nation Health Sports Day ..or whatever, which basically meant a day off lectures (for me, no classical Japanese. YAHOOO!)
I started the day with a sob 'cause I really fancied a sing-song but my guitarist lives 1,150円 away.... I cooked some strange mixture of vegetables, rice and natto. (I've realised recently that natto tastes AMAZING in everything; I put it in omelette, in my ramen, with my soba....)
Following that, I settled down at the kitchen table with a hot mug of tea and made a start on my MAHOOSIVE pile of homework. I think I managed about half of it before I lost the motivation to do anything so I wandered off down to campus to join my circle and do some much-needed sing-songing.
Success! I found a guitarist worthy of accompanying me. He goes by the name of Kohei Watanabe (or Bei for short) and has the ability to play anything after hearing it once. I played him a potential song I wanted to perform at the school festival on my iPod. He'd listened to the track once, nodded and started to play the song exactly the way it had sounded on my pod. I started to sing along and we made it through the whole track.....sorted! We shall be playing together at the 和泉学園祭。
A few hours later, I received an unhappy text (albeit adorable) from Hiro, who was worried that I, having found a new guitarist, would no longer be in need of Hiro's playing. NO NO! Silly baby. I made sure to explain to him that nobody could ever replace him, EVER.
And then he told me we was thinking of joining a guitar circle at his university...and found that I had the exact same response; that perhaps Hiro would find another vocalist at his university and would then have no need for me. He too assured me this would not happen. We're as bad as each other.
I returned in a happier mood and finished all the homework I needed to finish before Tuesday. In my stupid four and a half hour break in between lecture and pointless seminar, I shall be heading for the immigration office to see if I can obtain working permission....hmm.
I'm really hoping the university doesn't need to give permission, otherwise I have no idea how I'm going to be able to enjoy life here.
