Picture.

Okay, it's only two pictures and they're pretty small to be able to upload from a phone, but here goes.

Hopefully, you guys can see them. And I tried getting them on Facebook, but it didn't work. And someone please tell me if these links don't work.
Thanks.

EDIT: My bad. As Rachel pointed out these are NOT links. They are merely URLs. So do it the old fashioned way and copy and paste into a new tab/window.
Sorry for the confusion. My fault.

Daily Life

Hey guys! Some of you have asked about my schedule sn here goes.
My schedule actually depends on the day. But a typical day involves getting up at around six. I eat a fantastic breakfast my host mom always makes and get ready for school. I leave around seven. I have like a 10-15 minute bike ride, depending on how fast I go.
Then I take the bus for almost the entire route (get on on the first stop, get off on the third to last). That takes about 45 minutes. I arrive at school just past eight.
Then I have about 40 minutes to chill until school starts at 8:40. On Wednesday I've got another hour because first hour is homeroom. The day has six 50 minute periods plus a 35 minute lunch with 10 minutes between most classes.
My classes range from math (hilarious to hear “x minus ichi” [1 in Japanese] XD), to home economics, to P.E. and health, ancient Chinese literature (which is an awfully rough class for a foreigner), and some others. Throughout the day I usually have at least one (sometimes two) periods to go to another room and study Japanese by myself. Kinda boring, but it works.
Fridays are awesome because all day we're in the automotive part looking at car parts or welding or something crazy like that. And on Thursdays, this Irish guy Bryan comes to my school to teach English classes. He's awesome.

School ends at 3:20, but then I have band, usually until 7 (which i am getting incredibly tired of.)
Then I eat dinner, watch tv, try to get my laptop to work, etc. etc. etc.
Live.

Go to bed; repeat.
On weekends I tend to hang out with the AFS guys, especially Alex. Or I just relax.

So yeah. That's my life in a nutshell. =]

Ketai

Cell phone.
Which is an appropriate title really because I'm writing this from my cell. So I'll keep this short.

First order of business: on Monday night my computer had a bad spazz attack. Like, it would barely start up. I don't know why, so don't ask. At least I acted quick and copied my blog documemts onto my flash drive. I'm really worried about my laptop, but there's not much I can do besides keep trying and trying to keep from losing my mind.

But on a lighter note, I obviously got my amazing phone. It's got a ton of awesome stuff, but the important one for now is internet and email.
So everyone, send an email to my phone at
metalyoshi@ezweb.ne.jp
Of course.
But yeah I gotta go. Send me an email!
Thanks guys.
