Day 182 in Japan - OMG, I'M HALFWAY!?

Today marks just about half of my time in Japan. 365 divided by 2 is 182.5, and so somewhere about halfway through today I hit the official middle of my time in Japan. It was a very practical day – I cleaned a LOT, washed, and prepared for Fletchy’s arrival on Thursday (I AM SO EXCITED!). I had my Japanese lesson with Kojima-sensei, and we covered います (いる)and あります (ある)- the existence verbs for animate (former) and inanimate (latter) things. I have done this before, so it went very easily. Afterwards, we went for coffee and bakery goods, and Kojima-sensei gave my a lovely warm jacket. It was so nice of her, and it put a huge smile on my face that wasn’t wiped off for the rest of the day. I walked home from the station with a spring in my step! As Sam was working, I kept up the cleaning when I got home, and even kept up some studying (I wrote out a big vocabulary list for all of the CLAIR books so far). So I felt like I had a nice productive day, even if it wasn’t a very exciting way to mark my “halfway” milestone.

Food Highlight of the Day: The nachos that Sam and I made with REAL DORITOS! おいしかったです!
