\nrecover from a cold. I ate a minimum of 3 mikan (Japanese oranges) a
\nday, and drank lots of orange juice. I snacked all day on shelled
\npeanuts and other little things. I stuck inside, only leaving my cave
\nfor groceries or dinner. It seemed, every time I left the dormitory,
\nthat it would be raining and\/or windy -> making my bike ride much
\nmore difficult.\n<\/p>\n
\neven after she said, “Steve, keep in touch.” … damn. I guess I was
\ntoo confused by having to say Japanese nothings and call it a speech.
\nOh well, I’m signed up for a Japanese flower arrangement and tea
\nceremony in March… maybe I’ll see someone there I can get it from….\n<\/p>\n
