Confessions of A Working Girl

So…school got cancelled Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday–today. There’s school tomorrow though, and I’m glad. I came here to learn, not sit around and watch movies, read, and write all day. Although that’s fun in its own way…that’s not what I did all three days though.

Monday and today I went and met up with a friend. Monday we actually studied. Today we just walked around and looked at stores.

Oh, the title for this post? That’s because we’re still feeling shaking an awful lot. Mostly little tremors that you barely notice, but then, three or four times since friday, there’s been a bigger shaking, that makes everyone tense up and wait to see what happens.

And there’s this whole nuclear scare thing…it’s about 200 some odd miles north of Tokyo, so I’m not too worried. Judging by the radiation chart I found, Tokyo still gets less radiation per day than you get in one plane ride.  It’s the H23 pdf.

And I have to start gathering all my stuff together…its next next saturday, the 26th, that I have to move into the dorms. I should probably find the exact address of the dorms…and after that is about a week break. The original plan was to travel around Tokyo during that time…I still might, just staying sort of in the south part a bit more.

Meh, stuff happens. And at this point, even if I wanted to leave early (which I don’t…I am definitely staying until June) I think that all the airlines and stuff are still wicked overbooked because a lot of people are ditching…sort of like abandoning a sinking ship, I guess. But Japan is not done for, and there are plenty of places that are fine. I like Japan…and since I know there are plenty of others who do as well, Japan will definitely bounce back from this.

If anyone has extra money (unfortunately, I don’t) feel free to donate to Japan’s tsunami/earthquake fund type thing…here are a list of places that are excepting donations…: donate
