Homecoming

    Homecoming is this weekend apparently, not that I care all that much. I'm kinda glad I'll not be here this weekend, avoid all that mess. I'm sure some of my friends will throw a party, so I'll regret missing that and hanging with them. Coming back on Saturday night/Sunday morning will stink, b/c a lot more students will stay the weekend making parking a pain. Tomorrow will be fun, I'll get to run from my last class, hit my room, throw down my books, grab all my laundry and laptop, run to the car and head for Tulsa so I can make it to the dentist by 1pm.

    So, 2 things I didn't mention in my last post, 1) Zach Hightower is a bad bad person that didn't use his turn signal properly this last weekend (see, told you I'd mention it!!) and 2) while at IHOP, we met an interesting character named Troy. He was slightly intoxicated and ended up telling us a lot about his recent life, and wife, and how his favorite drink was Captain Morgan (of whom I resemble when having a curly mustache).

    To answer my sister's question: No Laura, I'm not actually taking Japanese right now. My roommate, Matt Hafner, has showed me a little, mainly just a few words I asked him about. I will be taking Japanese after I'm done with OSU this semester, however. He also brought up his first Japanese instruction book, which I haven't had the time to look through yet, but it should help me get a little head start.

    I'm about to go and check out a church where I'll be doing a karate demonstration at on Nov. 5th. Then I might practice trying to break some bricks to see how many I can do.

    That's about all for now, nothing else is coming to mind. Oh well, there is THAT.

    I got the rooms rented for A-Kon. This time I got 2 rooms, but one of them is a suite. The suite comes with a bedroom area with two queen beds about the same size as the regular rooms, but in addition it has a sitting area. By getting a suite and a regular room, actually end up saving 144.30 after tax compared to get 3 regular rooms. While this means that there are less beds altogether, there is now a sitting room where we can mingle and not disturb those who go to bed sooner than others, plus the sitting room probably has some couches and such, so we end up having the same amount of space. Total cost for rooms and estimated parking (for 4 cars) is $1496.4, if just 12 people go, that's $124.7 each, if 15 go it's $99.76 each.

    TUMEO.
    お元気で。
