Its the last day of the month and I'll be going to school from the next day so me, Josiah and Michaela have to go see the school and say hi to the teachers.

Sarah and Surei say they want to go too so 5 of us follow josiahs grandma to the school.

We meet the assis tant principle who shows us the list of food we're gonna have in these 2 weeks. he also lets us know which class we're in and who our teachers are. josiah went to 6-2 and i went to 6-3. (michaela went to some standard three class, obviously)

Then, josiah and michaela shows me, surei and sarah around the school. (they know the whole thing cuz they go there every year)

Later, we go meet sarah and surei's tuition teacher (they take japanese tuition every day, cool huh?) It seems she is jasmines classmates mom or something. im not quite sure though...

Next, we cycle around the town shops to get me, michaela and josiah our school shoes and strings for me and michaela's yellow hats.

you see, in japan, students walk to school.and for primary, a few kids who live in the same area gather in a place and line up to walk to school. and to let every one know that they are primary school students and to be careful, they all  wear these yellow hats. boys wear caps and girls wear hats to be exact.

they wear their own sneakers to walk to school, then they change to these shoes callet Uwabaki (they sorta look like ballet slippers XD) iniside the school. they also have another pair of shoes to wear in the gym.

yea.. so we went to buy all our school materials in this book store nearby the house. 3 notebooks, 4b and 2b pencils, pencil covers, so on...

that night, after jasmine came back from school, we went to uniqlo to buy clothes. jasmine helped me choose here and there. at the end, i bought 2 jackets, 3 turtle necks and jasmine got herself a pair of jeans.

one of the best things about that house is, grandpa's cooking is the best in the world, and he has a freezer full of haagen dazs ice cream~~

so.. hehe.. we had ice cream that night ^^

*thumbs up!!!*

That night , me and the girls used origami to make a paper chain and wrote on another few papers:

おばあちゃま　お誕生日おめでとう！！

Later, me and jasmine hanged the papers and all in the kitchen. And went  to sleep.
