No Thanksgiving

It may not be a shock that there is not Thanksgiving in Japan. Nothing to buffer the leap from Halloween to Christmas. On November 1, Starbucks immediately had the Christmas cup and flavors going on. I don't mind it too much, since I don't go to Starbucks. However, I refuse to play any Christmas music in my class.

I was thinking of going to a restaurant that was having a Thanksgiving dinner special, but now that I think about it, I don't really want to do that either. I'd much rather go home and be with my family, but that might not be the smartest thing to do. I'd probably have jet lag and I will have to find someone to cover my class for that Saturday. I don't know what I'll do, but I know that I don't want to be around my co-workers. I'd much rather watch some movies, read a book, go eat some ice cream, maybe some shopping and finish up a blanket or two.

Recently, I lost my glasses. I tried to look for them, but no luck. I was nervous to go get a new pair thinking I had to speak a lot more Japanese than I know. However, I went 20 minutes away from my school and was able to get a new pair within an hour and a half. I'm not 100% satisfied with them, but they work and my eyes don't hurt, so I guess they're okay.

During the last break, I made a trip to Saitama for ice cream and found out the second place I wanted to go to was closed down. However, I had fun going and enjoyed my ice cream. I'm trying to hit evey Cold Stone in Japan. Oh and the school festival was fun, but I got a headache the first day and there was a typhoon the second day. Other than that, it was fun. I guess that's it for now. ttfn.
