Yum! Melon Soda!

I took this picture with my new cellphone! I ended up getting this phone instead, because they didn't have the phone I wanted in stock. They are both pretty similar, so I'm not complaining. I got it in"Primary Red", and the thing holds more pictures than my digicam!

Here is the break down for how much the phone is going to cost me,

Cost of the phone itself: 1yen
Cost of charger for phone: 945yen
Cost of Opening my phone number: 2890yen
Cost of Monthly service - 50% student discount: 3454yen

In bold are the one time fees for this month, and then the last figure is how much i will pay per month after this month. So for this month, I'll be paying roughly 7290yen, or around US$70.

Time for me to stop playing with my phone, and go to sleep!

I'm alive!

I'm alive and well in Nishi-Waseda at the moment!

I arrived on Friday, and have been in endless orientations since then. Right now, I'm staying at the Hotel Sunroute, which is right by the Takada no baba station. The university is about a 25 minute walk from the hotel, not too bad since it's all pretty flat.

The past couple days have been kinda hot and muggy, but i'm doing fine. Today was a trip to Shinjuku, one of the busiest parts of Tokyo, even on a Sunday afternoon. Riding the Yamanote line was an experience, I'm really glad there were some Waseda students there to show us the ropes. Hopefully it will be easier tomorrow when I can buy my teiki (commuter pass), then I don't have to buy a ticket every time.

I'm getting a sweet cellphone tomorrow too! Hopefully this one in blue.

I find out who my host family is tonight, and get to meet them tomorrow! I'm excited and kinda nervous at the same time...

Sorry, no pictures this time, since I'm on a public computer, and my laptop is still packed up. ^_^;;

wish me luck!

My mom is a Coca Cola collecting addict!

Tminus 19 hours

The state of my room and packing as of now. Yes, I am aware that I am a lazy butt and need to finish packing...and that it looks like a laundry machine EXPLODED in my room.

Is it bad that I totally covet the iPod nano? It is tiny and has a flash based memory, and it comes in black!


Yes, I am aware that I should be saving money and not looking to blow 200$+ on a gadget .
But it's so damn shiny. >_<
