I overslept… which is no surprise as I had been tired for weeks now and going to bed late doesn’t help in such case…
long dayI was late for class and was stuck with the old granda who like to giggle at me and gets all blushily (I know that there is no such word as blushily, but to say that he blushes is not enough) red whenever looks at me. It didn’t improve my mood even a bit( I was waiting for class to end and afterwards had a small chat with my EX-kimono teacher.
Small remark… I say EX, cause at first she was ll supportive and wanted to teach me, but then I introduced IM to her and she switched to her, so now she is teaching IM and I am just a foreigner who needs not to know any true Japanese stuff…. And actually on that day IM was supposed to come for class at 7 pm. Which I learnt only the day before… at first I thought it was ok, but later on this class would mess with our schedule pretty badly…
I texted both IM and KY and only KY replied that they are gonnd be there at 12-30… Aparently IM overslept and they arrived 12-50… My class ended at 11-50… so for the entire hour I stayed in study center… walked around, went to the library and tried to keep my spirits up.

It has taken us almost two hours to get to the onsen in the mountains. It was snowy and refreshing (-5C) for me and freezing cold for IM, cause she was wearing some light tights and shorts that could only cover her butt.

The area was really nice. We went to the temple, where you have to hit the round bell with the cord… I was failing at that too, so KY had to help me out with that. I also thought that it was time for the omikuji update so I bought cute horse figure.

Once we went down to the shopping area, IM went out to the store and KY and I went for foot onsen and I've read through my fortune… it’s getting better I must say) Now I have the smallest fortune, but at least I have some good points… I still have to study hard, take care of my health, look up to find what I’ve lost; wait for those who are running late and not to fall deep in love. KY was helping me with the translation and the last one caused him to laugh… I wonder why… Anyways, I am glad that my fortune is getting better… now I need to work hard , so that next month it improves as well!
We went to find IM and did so in one sake store… really… this girl is smth special… when I was taking hot shower after skiing to warm up, she was taking some hot sake for the same purpose… Well she got all she wanted on that day… We went to the stores she wanted to go, but when I saw one that I thought was interesting, she would say that we have no time and let’s do on our way back from onsen. However we stopped to get some free soup. I was getting irritated and decided to check my cell phone… and the very same moment ua friend was calling me (the one that got married last December))) I was so happy to hear her… and just to speak some Russian. Both KY and IM were confused, but oh well… they do not bother speak English when I am around so I am not gonna bother speaking English for private call!!! That’s given! The chat was just not that long but helped me to feel better and shorten the waiting in the line time for the soup. I eneded call right before getting soup but even then we were not able to enjoy it peacefully, as IM was too cold to sit down and eat it and we had to rush to the onsen with small bowls of soup. It was crazy… looking back I still don’t get why I was putting up with all of it.. maybe I was just happy to see snow))) it has this soothing effect on me. The onsen itself was great!!! But unfortunately we could only get in for mere 20 minutes((( as we once again had to care for IM not being late for class…
On our way back once again we ignored all the store I was promised I could go in, but IM has taken her time to pick whatever she wanted – postcards, snacks, sake… She even demanded to have some onsen eggs, but then was hurrying it to swallow it fast cause she was in hurry… so we left in a hurry… KY could only promise that we would come again some other time…
She felt asleep on the way back and I was also tired from all the meaningless running around… We got back home in time for her to go to class and I have stayed late chatting in skype with my sister and Yuki, complaining about my life XD I am so sorry about that… I am sorry that they had to listen to me whining about how pitiful I am… To tell the truth I think that I am already living a dream! I am in country that I wanted to visit for a long time. I have my own apartment, some money and inet… But you know, we’ve learnt this at our first Economics class… once basic needs are satisfied, people would want more and more.. and they could never stop from wanting more after realizing lower level needs… and I am no exception! Now that I feel more comfortable in daily life and work I start to want more...
Once again I went to sleep late and had some random dreams that doesn’t make sense even to the crazy person, which I am…
