Concerning the good and the bad of the day,

Today was a day of severe ups and downs!

On the Downside,

• I realized I'd put on weight.... eight kilos of it! None of my jeans fit me!
• I had to walk after class to my cousin's place, which is quite far away from my Japanese class with the heaviest bag in the world!
• I couldn't find any good phone charms and I'm really wanting one! Why can't people here be like the Japanese and appreciate kawaii for what it's worth?!
• The one phonecharm that I loved was absurdly expensive!

Now for the Upside,

• I got some smiley badges for my bag! They're not exceptionally kawaii but they'll do!
• I think I might become reasonably good at Kanji!
• I'm going to have Japanese etiquette classes soon! This alone makes me smile!
• I going to start an exercise regime tomorrow!

So, all in all it was quite a balanced day.... Except when I glance at the weighing machine.... I never thought that I'd be worried about my weight! Oy Vey!
