Today was the first day of class. Woke up, and met with my roommate’s friends that are really cute. The one, Alice, looks alot like Xi but skinnier and taller. I think though, I’m not sure I have to get some better looks at her if you know what I mean. I started to speak some chinese to them but alice cut me off with a question, actually i think it would be funner for me to make them think that i can’t understand them. We talked about how she is taking chinese instructor courses here at findlay and then going to california to teach.

When I walked into class Jackie was there, so I sat next to her next to the chair near the door. Ai sensei is absolutely beautiful. The next teacher, the heavier not so good looking one, we had review with and she seems she can become impatient which is not good. Last sensei, nakata, seemed very nice and we did writing review with her, i did terrible and vow to study writing hardcore from now on.

its according to the computer 11:55 right now and i still have alot of studying to go for this first day. Still haven’t bought any food yet, i have a tons of diet coke though. the only things i ate today were the left-over food from the happy greek restaurant where mom and grandma ate and the ramen offered by Yan. Went to the union today and saw Yaskuo and just talked for a brief time, and saw sakiko with a bunch of her friends and she was really happy to see me. I also brushed into chika this morning when jackie and i were studying at hagerty after the first class.

ok gotta study bye.

I just moved into my room for summer quarter and my gosh is it so so much better than the room i had last year. My own bathroom, bedroom, living room, its so great. Oh, and air conditioning! my roommate that is staying with me doesn’t seem that bad at all too he is 30 and a taiwanese chinese teacher in training. yeah but im really nervous about tomorrows class, because its really happening. I haven’t reviewed at all but I’ll watch a few movies and catch up a little bit tonight. This environment to study in is wonderful.

Yet again have I experienced a sign of the passing times, the end of the time at Jeff’s house. We talked about it soo much during the year, but it still turned out to be really nice and relaxing surprisingly. We did everything from going to Cleveland and walking around the Science Center and Tower City, having a campfire, to going to the asian market and making sushi, swimming, eating at bangkok tai restaurant, yeah it was pretty action packed actually.

Jeff was sometimes a buzz killer though because he didn’t let us drink at all pretty much and at times when we all wanted to do something he just sat around and watched Chika write an email and look at the kanji.

But overall I can’t complain. I pretty much ate the entir time I was there and so now that I’m gone I’m going to limit myself and get back into the groove of exercising and eating better to lose weight before Japan.

I’ve been thinking about dropping Chinese lately. It all matters what I can pick up in two years if anything. yeah.

Julie downloaded fly me to the moon. I’m very flattered about this. I think that she is beginning to miss, but I don’t know how long that will last.

So yeah it’s finally the end. Yesterday may have been one of the busiest times here at OSU. The night before was the JSO party, were there were tons of alchohol and beer. We ended up sleeping at Ke’s house that night falling to sleep with everyone playing a soccer video game. When I woke up the next morning I saw that Julie remained next to me and it made me happy. After this we were dropped off, Julie and I, at Morrisson Tower and thus began the extremely long day. After helping her mov her stuff back and fort to Taka’s room, I had to go clean my room and move everything out with only an hour left. I pretty much just cleaned the refrigerator and did a half-ass job on sweeping and cleaning the floor. yeah. After this I went back to Taka’s room and sat in the chair waiting for them to come back. When they did come back they were carrying the same boxes they had left with because the boxes were too big to send through the post office so it seemed as if the hour of us working we did nothing. Anyways, after this Julie really really wanted drinks and said she was thirsty so we went to the union. H.G. Dawg’s was closed so taka and i just had to resort to eating lunch at the korean restaurant part. yeah. then we went to taka’s place again afterwards to either lay down for a bit or listen to music. We went to the library, but it was closed. So we then hung around for awhile at the play theatre. Julie and I snook away from taka and hid up in the grass and through sticks down at him to try to get him to wake up and see we weren’t there. I forget if it was after or before this that we returned to taka’s room and that he had to bring a box to Andrew’s house. I said that julie and i will wait here. After seeing taka walk away from the window i locked and closed the door and jumped up onto bed with julie and we spent the final time we had to be alone together. Then we went to CVS and it was closed. Then later that night we met up with Sakiko and Misa and we went to eat at a Greek Restaurant. It was ok. I guess the real real fun of that night was when everyone went to hang out with pochi’s. I was really really tired and everyone was playing jenga that i’m not interested at all so i had just decided to go to sleep. Keep in mind i was feeling very sick that night and throughout that day but that night especially. Well everyone decided to take a tour of the campus which was actually really fun.

Everyone had decided to have a race from the beginning of the oval to the end where the library front is with that big dude statue that stands there. Julie and I were like, nah, and we let them run off away from us while her and I slowly walked and enjoyed each other’s last presence. It was really beautiful at that time and almost surreal becauase of the way the path lights were on and illumanited the brick road and cast a faint tint and shadow on all the trees and open area around. I put my arm around her as we waked. She said, “you know what, they’re probably looking at us since they’re at the end their now and they went to look back at how far they had just run and to see the view of the oval there for the last time.” We were both like, “oohhh”, and then said, “oh well, i don’t care.” We then spent the rest of the night just walking behind the rest of the group locked in arms while no one was looking back or talking to us to bother us. We knew that they knew about us at that time because they didn’t look back or say anything to us, it was pretty funny.

Later that night the rest of her korean friends came to pick her up. They all stared at us while we said goodbye to julie i was angry with this because i wish it could have been more private.
She’s gone now, so now I should no longer talk about her. The only thing is that it’s so sad because i strongly feel deep down inside that she was the one.

Well now there’s only 3 more days of school left. Wow. The time sure does fly by fast, especially when you don’t want it to. Julie spent the night again last night, us both of us on the futon. That night was pretty special. We spent the day first having breakfest at Kennedy’s, then going to her place so she could complete a sketch drawing, and then returning back to my place to cuddle and watch Shaun of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead all in a row. We then at dinner at marketplace with Matt, Chika, and Taka. Julie left this morning to go to her friend’s house to complete her picture project of her friend’s stairs.

It still hasn’t hit me yet that it is going to end. I don’t think anyone else has really realized it either. I think because of this it’s just going to make the goodbyes even harder. I doubt I’ll be saying goodbye to everyone, I hate saying goodbyes.

I don’t have exams today. I only have two exams, the Japanese one tomorrow and the Chinese culture one the day after. I am then done. I’m going to study for exams for the first time today, today for the Japanese and later tonight I’ll skim over the Chinese culture test. Yeah it’s really weird because I never picture exams week being easy and it never had been before ever but this is the first exam week I’ve ever had that’s easy.

I only have about 4 swipes left on the Buck id card. Where did all the swipes go? I swear that this quarter I ate the least food out of all of them yet I have the least amount of swipes left, I don’t understand it. I guess I can only assume that all the random times of buying sushi did my meal plan in. I guess? oh well.

Another thing: it’s sad that us as a group had never ventured back to Jackie’s before the year ended. Anytime we went to Jackie’s apartment was a funt time. I remember the first nabe party at jeff’s where we all drank a bottle of 151 and we were all completely trashed Taka and I ventured there. We first bought food at taco bell, a ton, and even though I dropped the taco on the ground, I picked it up and ate it. When we got to Jackie’s, she was watching some cool Japanese video with these two girls on the bike riding off into the sunset. They then put on Wedding Crashers, which was really boring and not funny, and so I passed out on my back in the middle of her floor, rolling around and moaning because of a stomach ache or being full or something while her and her friends watched. That’s soo funny. I had left my phone and wallet and Jackie’s house so she had dropped it off for me the next day.

Ok well I’m going to check the menu now and go get something good to eat at Kennedy’s. cya.

It seems that only when things are going bad that I want to write in this journal. The thing is that everything has been going good and I don’t feel like writing in it. Last night Julie spent the night at my place for the first time up in my bed. We were up there and we kissed a little bit and started talking about things when we heard the chinging of keys and someone trying to open the door. My roommate had come back, after three days of being gone. We looked at each other like, oh no! and we grabbed the blanket and acted like we were asleep. He came in and turned off the lamp that was on underneath us and covered up the windows knocking the fan that faced us off place. Because of this we could no longer see each other and also it started to drastically heat up because the room and outside is so so fucking hot. Anyways he crawls into bed and he makes weird little sounds that we think nothing about. Then all of a sudden “UUUWAAAHH!” and Julie and I look at each other in shock and then in laughter that he was puking in his bed. He puked alot of times in a row. We were laughing so hard, trying not to have him hear us laughing at him, that would have been really bad. After alot of kissing and hugging, Julie had to go to the bathroom. I decided to go to but when I came back I found that Julie accidentelly locked me out. I had to go rent my key out. That was about it for that night.
