This morning I was on the phone with janette and I got a text from Rieko.

���������I�@�����A�@���������������@�������B

I read it a few times, trying to interpret it any way other than, "Good morning! Right now I am in front of the bookstore."

FUCK!

"sorry; I gotta go."

Called Rieko and ended up going there, arriving 30 minutes late for our 10:45 AM appointment. She said it was after her work; I assumed it was work during the day (evening) like mine. Nope.

Got a lot of good practice in. Awesome. I have nearly memorized the first three lines of the second page.

Scott took me aside and asked about the time I had my cellphone out in a kids class. I don't really remember it and I told him so. Was also in trouble for using a translator in class. Bah.

pretty pissy mood after that for a bit; want to quit; why am i here; what would it take for me to quit; etc.

Called janette today after work and talked to her a bit, 45 minutes before she left for the airport to come see me! Whoooooo!

I was like, "next time I talk to you, it will be face to face!"

Olivia and Jen came down after work today and used the internet connection, laughed a lot as they tend to do, gossipy and reading funny emails from their friends. I went up to their crib and had a couple liqueur-filled bottle shaped chocolates and took some pics with Livia's new camera and stuff.

Good Nova-bashing tonight at the ol' 101. Dan just finished his OJT today; Matty and I traded punches at Nova's material. Matty had a bit more to say than I do; I think he knows the book more. Nah, not really, but he was really funny about the fuckin' Everyday Conversation lessons.

"Are you a foreigner?"

"What's that?"

"ARE YOU A FOREIGNER?"

"I'm not deaf; you don't have to yell."

"I'm sorry."

"Polish that turd for 45 minutes," concludes Matty. "No thank you; I'm not fuckin' doin' it."

I pick up janette in 13 hours!
