Well today was pretty easy going. Practiced shakuhachi by the river. Ran into Naomi and we went for coffee at her friends little cafe. Went home, went to the store, eat some lunch, yup yup yup. Looks like my next get together with Masami will be next saturday not this one. So tomorrow I will be bored. Worked on my final paper getting it all finished up, still have Sundays experience to write about and my last outing with Masami next Saturday, but have to turn it in on monday,... hmm. I guess that doesn't quite work. Oh well. I'm going to apply for the shakuhachi scholarship and see what happens, worth a try. I also sent my poetry in to a contest to see what happens. I ordered a Christmas present for Masami, I hope she likes it. Still alittle flustered I have to leave so soon. I watched a short video about a fellow who walked the length of Japan, I think I need to do that. I'll set aside sometime in the future for something like that. Takes about 6 months from furthest south to furthest north point. Don't really care if I do that, but would like to see the country as a whole. Well thats all for now.
