Thursday

So, I took my Oral exam about an hour ago. It went well, I botched up one or two things but they were very minor. I was very pleased, when I left the room there were some other girls who I'm somewhere between friends and aquaintences with. They were really really nervous. I told them not to be, that the test was exactlly what she told us to study, but not the same quantity of course. That she picked thnigs at random from what she told us to study and that the only thing I was surprised about was that she recorded us (which most of them knew apparentally it's common for oral tests). Then sensei popped her head out of the door and asked us not to speak about the test.



I don't know if she was doing it to be safe or if she thought I was relaying information. I hope it's not the later. I'm not doing anything until I see if she comments to me about cheating or helping others cheat. Which I was of course NOT doing. She picks things at random, and I didn't tell them anything about what she chose for me. What I was saying was things they already knew, studying the study guides she gave us was what they needed to do to succeed, I just know hearing it can sometimes make it easier.



Either way, I don't think I'm really in trouble, I know how teachers can be extra cautious about those kinds of things so she was likely just being careful.



Today I'm not nearly as cute as yesterday, back in my American clothing of jeans and T-Shirts.



This weekend I decided I'm not going to go out to the mountian. Staying with the monks is something you have to apply to do and it can take awhile, so I'm going to do that and do it likely in November.



My Okaasan, Otosan and Toko are going out to Tokyo from the 30th through the 1st. But get this, they're locking the upstairs!!! They said to shower or use the kitchen I'll have to ask Kai, who I never see and gets home SO late and leaves really early. I don't know why they can't just leave me a key. I've used their kitchen enough for them to know I clean up after myself and won't burn the place down. I'm really frustrated about that, I'm not sure if I should say something to the CIE or not. It's only like 2/3 nights, but still, eating out is expensive, and of course I don't have any means to store or prepaire food downstairs. There's no hot plate, no kettle, nothing, I can't even make instant Ramen. And I'm not allowed to stay at the Seminar Houses... I'll likely crash there until the second I have to leave though through that weekend. Not to mention I feel like I shouldn't be cut off from the only shower. And my only means to get to all those things is a person who gets in between 8-9pm, which isn't too late to shower but it's too late to cook really. Plus, my Okaasan said that if Kai opens up the door I can cook, so if she's worried about me burnin down the place then why'd she not care? If we were in a real House I'd have access to everything anyways so why can't they just leave me a key? I'm sure they at least have two. 2-3 days on a weekend, espicaly Halloween weekend where I'll be at the Schools Halloween party one night anyways I'm just being chill as I can about it, if it was longer I'd definately say something, but I stil think it's kind of messed up not to just leave a key downstairs on the table by the door or something so I can just go upstairs, make dinner, eat it, shower, then lock the door behind me, head down stairs and put the key back on the table...... Oh well, maybe I'm being unreasnable?



I still haven't heard anything from Crummer, not even a "we've recieved your application!" I'm thinking of poking them, I understand if it takes awhile to process but you think I would've heard they've recieved it, because when I submitted the application it said I'd get an e-mail when it's been processed by asmissions.



Anyways, I think I may go to the Library, check out a book and then go to Florista (the cute cafe across the street from the school) and sit for awhile until my afternoon classes kick in. Today's my long studio day, woohoo!
