another month ...

well this last week was actually pretty busy. tuesday i had my private english lesson with the older lady and it went really well. started reading a book about an expidition that goes all wrong on mt. everest due to a severe storm. she really liked it but its a good thing ill be here for at least another year because i think it will take that long at the pace we are going at :-P wednesday night did some studying over at becky's followed by an episode of desperate housewives. thursday drove down to hirosaki for a private japanese lesson. friday, met up with friends in gosh for some food and drinking (minus the drinking for me though). saturday, met up again for more snowboarding followed by good food and karaoke. and today im going to try and buy train tickets to sapporo to see the famous snow festival (yuki matsuri), but theres a chance they may be all sold out :( see how my luck goes.

and my friends, thats about it. of course there was the occasional shoveling. oh yeah about the shoveling ... it appears as if my neighbors think im used to shoveling now and so i dont receive nearly as much help. but thats ok, they have enough to shovel themselves! now its just a bit lonely when i shovel because they come out after im done ... ahhhh! they say the worst of the winter is february and then it starts to let up a bit ... one more month!!!

i miss mexican food and going out for breakfast.
