Today started pretty normal. I checked my emails and decided some how to go on Yahoo messenger. A few weeks ago I was googling and was trying to find a school to learn Japanese. I found a course in CU, which I was glad because I still have my ID#. But I found the japan-guide, which has a language exchange forum. I added my name and I have gotten a fairly amount of emails. So, I decided to respond and thank them for emailing me.

And today I talk to a really nice guy. He's married and has a 8yr old son who he sometimes takes fishing. His son likes baseball, I told him I don't really like sports. He laughed and said he and his wife don't either. We did the phone calling and spoke person to person. I only had done that in 2000 which is a long time ago with my mom, at that time it was to save money (long distance).

Time flew so fast, I was so into blabbling we ended up talking 3hrs. B-G was here but he was on a rant about doing his taxes. Also, he knows I love him and feels secure in our relationship for me to talk to other people. Plus this was a language exchange and it was fun!

I learn a few new sentences:

Douitashimashite = you are welcome
Sugoi = great!
Shine = die or I kill you
Shoushiga warui = conditions are a little bit bad
Mata modori mas = you come back again or I'll come back soon (politely)
Mata modoru (yo) = (impolite way)

the 'mas' & 'yo' are what make it different.

One thing though, I love learning! I cannot wait for my course in January!! I am sorry for some other people that wanted to talk to me while I speaking at that time. It was truly fun!!!

I took a 4hr nap... And woke up with B-G not being home. Called to find out he was at the fruit store. Decided on a meal which I will be making this evening. Waiting for B-G to come with the groceries... Having gnocchi in rosee sauce, chicken corn showder, korean noodles (small leftovers), chicken fried rice with tiny pieces of steak and my own special salad! YUM!!
