August 13th

I’m starting to doubt I’ll ever be able to post this.
So needless to say, I’m pretty discouraged right now. And I’m sick and tired of Word trying to authenticate itself over the Internet only to report back that a “connection could not be established.” And Norton complaining to me that its virus definitions are out of date.
Yeah, if I could let it connect, I would. Gah. Stupid computer.

But see, here’s why I’m pissed.
Today, the 13th, I went out with Takasugi-san to try to get my ketai, or cell phone, figured out. And guess what? It looks like they’re going to have to confirm that I’m staying here for an extended period of time, so it’s quite likely I can’t get my phone until November, or three months from now. Moreover, they know nothing about an air card, so the chance of me getting Internet here at the Yamamoto’s is pretty close to none.
And it doesn’t help that the cell phone contract thing here is incredibly complicated so even having Takasugi-san, who speaks English, it’s just difficult. I don’t know what plan I want, or this or that, just give me the phone.
Erg. I know I’m being more brash than usual, but I’m just in a tired/ pissed mood. I just want something here to work. Is that too much to ask.

I miss talking to you guys, and I want to at least post these 12 or so pages of Word document I have saved up so far, but I can’t. I just can’t.

By the time you read this, I’ll have gotten Internet somehow, so I don’t even know why I’m practically yelling at my laptop here, but I need to get out some frustration somehow.

I’ll write again tomorrow, or sometime.
I apologize for how ridiculous this post is going to be.
