Last Friday I had my first exam in Statistics.

It went pretty well and I haven't been online to study for either class since. 

I decided to sit back and relax a little because of the memorial day holiday.

While I don't think that the classes are physically demanding, they certainly make me mentally drained.

This past weekend I spent time with レン and her family. We went to an awesome Dim Sum restaurant and then also to a market.

I bought a few cooking supplies...

Cute rice shaper. Hearts and stars~

Sea weed for making お握り


My favorite brand of incense~ They smell lovely!

Today I slept quite a bit but had a difficult time sleeping. My cat keep waking me up until I let her outside and fed her.

I went to the Y, which was really successful then came back and made myself dinner. The day was pretty normal but not bad at all.

Tonight I am going to start studying again. I have my next exam on Monday and homework to be completed by Friday night.

I am sure I will talk with としくん too.

Speaking of which, we are now officially dating. It is still kind of strange to think not because of the situation but because I have been single for a little more than a year now.

I was so sure I wouldn't be in this kind of situation for awhile and now I am in another long-distance relationship again.

Hmm..of course I am nervous but he is a really wonderful guy. I think I don't mind taking the risk for him.

I will see him this winter and then from there we will plan what to do next, though I think he is planning to start University here. We will just have to see 

今日お母さんとイタリアのレストランに行った

めっちゃおいしかった

ピザとカノリを食べた。

We brought a lot of pizza back home too!

明日友達に会った。たぶんコーヒーを飲む。

よるたくさん勉強する～
明日試験がある

きのうとしくんとたくさん話した。

めっちゃしんせつ

Really, he is so considerate...

Lately I have been a little busy!

But...mostly with online school work.

During the day I have just been studying, sleeping, cooking and running errands.

I already feel pretty restless

On Monday I had my first exam for my MGF class. 

My sister dropped me off at the BCC campus in Titusville then took my grandmother back to my aunt's house.

My grandmother has been with my mom and sister for about six months now. She is leaving for up north in about two weeks now.

The exam went pretty well I think. I definitely got some problems wrong but I felt much more confident with the material than I had in my first semester of University. 

Of course I tried my best and hope everything works out well.

At the campus there was a really cute miniature Eiffel Tower!

My next exam for that class is already approaching quickly; June 6th. 

I also have my first Stats exam online this Friday and a quiz tomorrow.

I am really nervous though. I need to study a lot more tonight.

Today I woke up a little earlier than usual and went to the gym.

It was very relaxing and I feel like I got a good work out. I signed up last week and have only had a chance to go twice so I want to go more often. Definitely tomorrow too!

Afterwards, I went to the Fresh Cafe not far from my house. 

The atmosphere is nice but mostly I just wanted to get something quick and different to eat.

It was pretty good but maybe not my first choice because of the price. I didn't have much time either so it was okay.

Tonight my mom is working all evening and night. I will probably figure out something to make for dinner and study a little.

Tomorrow I am going to hang out with one of my friends which will be fun! I think we will probably go get coffee and talk about the JYJ concert she recently went to.

I am also sure that I will speak with としくん tonight. We have both been speaking a lot about winter vacation and making plans for it. 

I am honestly really excited but of course also a little hesitant too. It is confusing a little to me because I feel nervous to feel a certain way?

I know he cares about me (isn't that obvious if he will spend money to come here?) But still, I am a little hesitant about how many emotions I should invest in it.

I know I really enjoy talking with him and learning more about him. He is really ambitious and focused on what he wants to do. 

I wont say too much more than that until after Winter vacation though. I kind of hinted at that to him too. Something like, we could decide our feelings or what we want to do with them after a couple more months of talking and then meeting.

So, I don't know for now. Now, I will just enjoy learning about someone else and appreciate the company.

The plan is to maybe go to Busch Garden or Universal Studios around New Years. I would really enjoy that and he seems pretty committed to it. I think he would stay at my mom's home for a little under a month during Winter Vacation.

I already miss all of my friends back in Miami but I am happy because my closest friends have text messaged me. My roommate already has a couple times and I have been texting or messaging with them a lot.

Overall, spending time with my mom, sister and grandmother has been really nice though too. I may be restless but I am really happy to be home too!

今晩勉強しなければなりません!

木曜日試験がある！

今日きょうへいさんにてがみをもらった。

まじでかわいいですよ。ほんとうにありがとう！

でも、ちょっと悲しいね。

よこはまに行きたい。

He reminds me of a younger brother. I hope he is having a good time back in Japan

こんにちは～

Recently I have not been too busy. Maybe this whole week I have been a little restless and lazy~

昨日とても楽しかった！

I had been wanting to get out of the house and do something with a friend but didn't get the chance to before.

We ended up going to the pavilion, the mall and then the bookstore.

It was really interesting and I had a good time.

We talked about a lot of different things~ (life, JYJ concert, university, etc)

I also spoke a little more about my last semester at school which she seemed to think was kind of funny (笑）

I came back around 22.00 and then spoke with としくん later until around 5.00.

He must be so tired today. I feel bad that I made him stay awake for so long!

On Thursday my Finite book finally arrived too! That means I can begin my course...

I already completed the first statistics homework and now I need to begin working on the second chapter.

したくない。。。

I finally completed watching MIDAS too!

It was really good and already I wonder what I can watch that will be better! The ending was really perfect.

今日よていがない

Maybe I will go to Target and get a coffee. It is really hot but not too bad for riding my bike either. I don't know yet but maybe I will do that too~

I want to do something though

I am also waiting for a couple of things in the mail.

I lost my Tony Molly Lip gloss so I ordered two more (they are very cheap)

I am also waiting for a letter from きょうへいさん

Well, at least I am trying too! 笑

Yesterday my online classes began. Already I am having some difficulties with them.

My expectations were a little different and I have to pay an unexpected $253 up front for the text books not including the $ 35 I apparently have to pay every time I go to a proctoring center to take an exam.

This is really unexpected and kind of sucks a little bit.

Today I will call a couple places and try to get things straightened out. I am having deja vu from my Public Speaking class already though 笑

What else to say...

Mother's Day has already passed by and I think it was really nice. I made my mom a card and also bought her a perfume with my sister.

I made brunch and also some desert! It all turned out pretty good I think.

This past week I worked with my father. It was sometimes difficult and I blistered my hands a little. I made a bit of money but now all of that is going to my books

Yesterday though, I did get a couple of new clothes. Everything was pretty inexpensive and looked nice.

I got a Mickey Mouse cup and also a Mickey Mouse shirt!

I had to take my grandmother to get her routine blood work done before that. I was so surprised because in the office an older gentlemen told me grandma "It is nice to see a young lady dressed like a young lady."

I was so surprised! I thought maybe my outfit was a little too short but he complimented me again when my grandmother went to give blood.

We later went out to eat and talked a lot. It is a bit of a relief talking with her sometimes.

Yesterday went by pretty fast though. In the evening I spoke with としくん。Today he kind of looked like じゅんまつもと because the lighting was very bright and his hair is longer.

Maybe haha~

He really wants to work hard this summer and hopefully come here for Winter. That would be really interesting.

He has also been working really hard on a presentation for his class. I was pleasantly surprised to see and listen to him present his power point today. It improved so much in a short time from his essay! I know it gave him a lot of confidence too but I was being completely honest.

I would want the same treatment too in Japanese because I want to speak it properly and not always make the same mistakes.

Today I need to straighten things out with my classes. I was thinking about going to Barnes and Noble but I am not sure yet.

りょうりするのがちょっと下手だ。

So...I want to cook a little more this summer.

Here are some of the things I want to cook:

とんじる

お好み焼き

Cream Puffs

肉じゃが

オムライス
