I was really tired when I woke up this morning. Our late night out in Osaka last night really wore everyone out. It was hard to concentrate in Japanese language class, but some people were really out of it. I think sensei could tell that everyone was tired, so we did a lot of review with less new stuff. After language class, Shae, Trudy, and I got lunch at Lipton. It was very American, and I ordered an egg salad sandwich. It was different than egg salad sandwiches in the U.S., but I actually liked it more. It wasn’t as pasty, and there was a lot of egg. Yummy!
For studio today, we talked with Don one-on-one to finalize most of the design and output for our final project. Since it is due on Friday, he didn’t really have much to say to anyone since it would be too late to make any majors changes anyways. After class, I went with Shae back to the Kyoto Handicraft Center. She wanted to buy two Japanese swords and have them mailed back to the U.S. I helped her pick out two, and then we took the subway back to Kyoto Station. In Kyoto Station, we went to Lipton again for dessert. I ordered a five berry tart, and she ordered a caramel mocha chocolate cake. Afterwards, we wandered around the Avanti shopping mall across from our weekly mansion, then retired to our own rooms. I had to write another paper that is due to Don tomorrow and the rest of my time was spent on continuing to work on Trudy and my final project.
