| Parties, Cookies, Driving and BLAH |
Not much has been going on since my last blog. But the weather hasn't permitted us to do much, it's been rainy and cloudy for weeks! Today we had a nice sunny and HOT saturday, and that means that everywhere you go is packed full of people enjoying the nice weather.
But to catch ya'll up on how I have been doing, I am thinking of entering in the Collossal Cookie Challange thats going on at the Schilling Community Center. I want to enter a cookie version of Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I haven't made it yet and therefore I don't know if it will work out the way I hope but hey it's worth a try :)
I also went to 2 parties this weekend. One was a purse party hosted by my friend Gladius and the other was a pampered chef party. I didn't purchase anything from either cause I'm so cheap but they were fun to go to.
The other day was my first time driving off base! I went to the Do It Yourself store and it's only about 10 min. away but I was a little nervous to say the least for a number of reasons, one is that I'm still having to remind myself that I'm on the other side of the road and two because being an American pretty much means that any car accident is my fault :( Thier philosophy is that if I wasn't here on Okinawa to begin with the accident wouldn't have happened. CRAZY huh? So I drive as cautiously as possible and just go where I want to go and get back on base. I should be getting a car soon so then I will be able to get a job or at least do something during the day other than clean!!!
I want to start some Japanese classes that are offered here on base but most are booked up and with one car it can present a problem. I've figured out that I don't want to learn Japanese fluently but just enough to be respectful of the people here. I'd rather learn Spanish for 2 years and have it benifit me when we go back to the states. I'll learn it at the college I want to go to on base. University of Maryland Asian Divison. But college is alot more expensive than I previously thought so I need to save up some money and take the Accuplacer before I consider college.
Until then I hope to explore the island more with some new friends I've made and learn more about the culture here on Okinawa. When something exciting happens I promise to blog it :)
GOD BLESS |

My review
I'm really humbled by this book. Her journey during the war is truly and inspiration to life. I now look around while I'm driving or walking on Okinawa and think to myself of the struggles that so many Okinawan refugees went through, including the author as a 7 year old child! Defiantly an inspirational read!
