So, yesterday we did the whole crazy meeting thing again. One at 10 am and one at 8 pm. The 10 am one was okay, same old same old. But the one at 8 pm was to watch the video of the recent Headquaters Meeting. In Japanese of course. So why was I there? I don't know. I thought that Tariq Hassan (SGI-USA Vice-mens and SUA Board Member) was going to speak, but he didn't. So there was exactly nothing that I understood. And I was fuming. Going to the meeting I was pretty hyper and singing songs and stuff, but once the meeting started, I got really unhappy. I figure, it didn't hurt anything, but my legs really started hurting, and I remembered Cassie's knee problems, and I got a little mad. Grrrr Nothing out of it, and killing my hips and knees doing it. lovely.
But between the meetings, we went out with Maju's mom and a friend of hers. The friend was really really nice and gave us, of course, some home-made notebooks and bags. She didn't speak any English, but we didn't let that stop us. Her daughter lives in Miami, and she showed us pictures from their last trip. Then we started talking about how humid Japan is in the summer and she said that her daughter won't come back to Japan because of that. The only bad part was when I completely forgot the name for humidity. We acted it out and understood what we were talking about and Conny knew it in German, but I couldn't for the life of me remember in English. Yeah, talk about good impressions on new acquaintences. So she was nice, and I really like Maju's mom, and we're all going to the Onsen on the 17th. Hehe. We'll see how I do.
So other than that, I'm surviving. Mostly. Today we slept until the afternoon and went for a short walk. Nice easy day. Called Grace yesterday, she's back in Japan, along with her mom. We're getting together tomorrow, don't know to do what though.
