I Saw A U.F.O

But U.F.O isn't apart of my Japanese vocabulary so I didn't tell anyone.
They didn't even have the chance to not believe me.

It was Saturday night and we were going out for Udon at a restaurant around the corner and I was waiting outside because I am always the first one ready. So, I'm leaning on the railing outside and from behind a mountain I suddenly see four or five bright yellow/whitish lights in a row, each one the shape of a square with rounded off corners and occasionally one or two of the windows would suddenly sparkle red. It moved in a straight line, it was close but there was no noise, and it definently wasn't a plane.

I have absolutely no idea what it was. None at all.

Udon was ok but I got Udon with egg, turns out the egg was raw which kind of turned me off it. I thought it was cooked. Saturday, I didn't really do anything, oh I went to the library and finished reading Needful Things by Stephen King. I didn't borrow anything this week as I thought it might be difficult moving house and everything. Luckily they have a few novels in the staff room where I spend my spares so I'll just read them for the time being. They are fantasy too which is just my luck. Artemis Fowl, and the first two books of some Raymond E. Feist series who I've heard of but never read.

Angst.

Satuday I went to Shimabara with Ojiichan and Obaachan, we visited Obaachan's (Grandmother's) older brother and sister. It seemed that both of them ran some sort of farming company or something as we came home with a ridiculous amount of vegetables. Potatoes, Corn, Beans, Pumpkins, Eggplant and some stuff I didn't recognise. Afterwards we had lunch at Joyfull. Joyfull is cool, it is the hamburger restaurant. I had a meat patty with a fried egg and gravy which was good. It was like a mini pot roast.

We got home at about one or two and then I slept for a little while.

Officially have finished downloading Lovely Complex, (I didn't put that on your list did I, mum?)I'm halfway through Nana and am just starting Neon Genesis Evangelion which is a little old but is popular over here. Along with Gundam and (regrettably) Naruto, but the new manga called Pandora Hearts has caught my attention.

The most popular band here that I've noticed is Greeeen which everyone knows but no one has ever seen the faces of the band members. Interesting.

Oh, yeah. Remember that essay I wrote in order to apply for a scholarship to Global Village. Well, I got a scholarship, Huzzah. A full one which means both my camp admission fee and my travel costs are paid for by JFIE. The only thing I am risking is my health with Swine Flu being in Tokyo, although it has officially made it's way to Nagasaki and no one is panicking down here.

I'm not freaking out, I'll just try and be careful, whether it is dangerous or not, I don't want it.

I wrote my newsletter thing and will post it next time as I've run out of time for now. I didn't even plan on doing a blog but I came on the early train so that I could email my mother. Consider yourselves lucky. From Tuesday it is exams again so I might possibly be in early all week so Yui can study. I don't know though so don't get your hopes up. It just means lots of spares for me. ^_~

YOU GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP! And you saw a UFO. And you're moving. And if you're going to Tokyo, maybe you should wear a face mask. ;D haha And I really don't want to do homework so I think I'll just go downstairs and watch TV.

Oh I had Gecko Youth Earth Symposium thing and Relay for Life this weekend. YES was pretty good in the end. 'Twas damn cold in Numinbah Valley though. And as for Relay... it was wet. Very, very wet. Jess, Kirralee and I were singing and dancing in the rain which was fun, but we had two tents for 9 people and one was full of water pretty early in the evening which meant that at one point we had 9 people inside a single 4 person tent. Quite squishy. But yeah. Wet is the verdict of Relay.

And so far for my exams I've got: Mando - 5 (low B), English - 7 (A - top of my class! =] ), Psych - 7, Bio (...i think it was a 6 - high B, but I also got 100% for my prac report =] ). Bit disappointed with Mandarin - I normally get a 6 - but otherwise I'm happy. Just in case you were interested.

Anyway, on to mindless TV.
