3 Day Weekend

It's so nice to finally have some time to relax! I've been super busy with school and learning how to drive that it's starting to get tiring. Luckily I only have a month left of the term and then I'll have about a week or so of spring break. I thought having only 3 classes this term wouldn't be as hectic but I was wrong. Everything is a lot harder and more hectic. Last term, I was able to slide through the term which made me regret not working harder but it's a lot different.

My experience going to a Hello! Project Concert Part 1

I decided to separate this post into 2 parts or how many posts it will take since it's going to be pretty long.

On July 23rd, I had this awesome opportunity to go to a Hello! Project concert for the first time. I went to their first show of that day at Orix Theater in Osaka. 

So I left for the venue around 12pm and I arrived at 1pm which was almost 2 hours before the show started. The first thing I was really surprised about was how small the venue was. It really was held at a theater. Also I found it awkward by the types of fans there were but it was nice to know H!P has hardcore fans. The venue was right next to a park so that's where everyone hung out. 

I decided to line up in the goods line so I could buy a t-shirt, wristband and some pictures. The line wasn't that long however, it went by very slowly. Due to this, I regretted not bringing something to kill time such as a book because I was getting tired of using my phone. Also summer in Japan can get very hot and humid so bringing a hat or pair of sunglasses will also help. Dying from the heat and boredom, I waited probably almost an hour which isn't too bad compared to the line you have to line up to buy goods at Johnny's concerts. When I finally got inside, I decided to buy a gacha gacha thing. Being the retard I am, I handed the person the gacha thing instead of the paper that was in it. So remember to just hand the paper thing instead. I got a picture of Mai Hagiwara from ℃-ute. Then after waiting for a while, I was finally able to buy the goods. I got the t-shirt, wristband and some pictures for a friend. Meanwhile, my mother who was worried because it was taking a long time; came with a security guard and was glad to know that I was still in line. 

After buying the goods, I went into the venue. The seat I chose was a family seat which is usually on the 2nd floor, I believe and you have to sit for the entire show. My seat was a pretty good seat. Since the venue was rather small, I was able to see pretty well. So I just relaxed for a while till the show started. 

So that is it for part 1. I will have part 2 done as soon as possible. 

Black Friday Haul

I know Thanksgiving was almost 3 months ago but I wanted to still share what I got on Black Friday. I went to North Face and got a black jacket that was only $25 since it was 50% off and it was in the kids section. Then I got 2 pairs of socks at Forever 21 because I never have enough socks. Lastly, I went to Aeropostale and bought the white sweater and jacket. Everything was 70% off because they were going bankrupt so they had to sell all the things they currently had. 

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. I also got a pair of converse but I didn't take a picture of it. They're just plain old black converse anyways. I got to admit, Black Friday sure was crazy. It depended on the store but stores like North Face had a pretty big line. I actually went shopping around 3 times within Thanksgiving and Black Friday. It was a pretty interesting experience. But it's kind of overwhelming so if I were to go shopping on Black Friday this year, I kinda would like to go early in the morning when it's not so crazy. 

February

Happy Groundhog Day! I did not even know it was Groundhog Day until my mom told me about it. To be honest, I have never seen a groundhog in my life. Anyways, it's already February the month Valentine's Day occurs. I don't think I'm doing anything special on Valentine's Day other than eat chocolate all day long. 

I'm honestly glad this week is almost over. I had a oral performance in my Japanese class which I ended up pausing for a good few seconds. Also I had to write an essay which I had a hard time with. We do this peer review and I got some pretty helpful tips on how to make it better. So that has been my week/school life and if anything interesting happens, I would love to write about it.
