Sumo!!!!

When I was heading home from my Japanese class, I was waiting to board the train next to a couple of sumo wrestlers.

Seeing sumo wrestlers out and about in Tokyo NEVER fails to make me smile. NEVER. I remember when I was in Kyushu last year for a wedding - I was about to board a plane at Fukuoka airport and a whole load of sumo wrestlers were getting off. They look absolutely fantastic (when they're dressed!!) and I just think they look adorable!! Especially in Tokyo where the view is nearly always suits and miserable faces. Their presence just feels positive to me and I just love watching them. (^_^)

Funny how every time I see them, they're always eating! HAHA!

Totally made my day, they did! (*^_^*) One day I'll be brave enough to ask for a picture!

Today has been all about studying. I hit the gym this morning - the pool felt fantastic in this boiling weather and it was fun doing aqua to some soul tunes. After some food shopping, I studied at home and then went to Meguro for my Japanese class. Tough going but I got through it! I wanted to study in Starbucks but it was only after I ordered my Chai Tea Latte that I realised I had forgotten my wallet! DOH! And then when I went to head back home, I realised that I didn't have enough money on my Pasmo, so I had to take a long way home that was covered by my commuter's pass. LONG!!

Back home I got straight back into the studying and now my head is nihongoed out. Really chuffed with my progress today though - just trying to review what I missed when I went home and didn't study or review for like 6 weeks. I totally feel like I'm back up to speed and ready to tackle the N2 grammar. It's not actually that hard...well, the input part isn't anyway! I had a go at a couple of reading exercises and did them with no problems. If I can get this grammar down then I actually think I have a good chance of getting a decent score. Problem is, I don't think I have enough time to learn all the new grammar and review all the N3 stuff too so I won't get my hopes up too high!

Now it's time to kick back and relax!
