I`m Not Alone!

Guess what? This Friday night I actually went out with other JETS in the area. I guess I won`t be the only foreigner for miles after all. This past Friday night before I left work an invite was sent out to hangout. I was so happy! Of course I said I wanted to go, knowing that I had not even a clue as to what I would be doing once I got home that evening. Uh, it felt so good to go home and have somewhere else to be. I must say, not doing anything (but going for a run to the konbini (convenience store) on Sunday night) left me so drained. I just stayed in my apartment all weekend. Coming in and out of sleep. Sporadically I would watch television, but then fall asleep again. It was pitiful. But that Friday was certainly refreshing. We went to dohton bori. A place that serves, um, these pancake/pizza like pies. You pick your toppings and you cook it on a hot grill in front of you. It`s really tasty! I had corn, cabbage, eggs, bacon and something else with mine. DEE-licious!

Anyways, I had thought that I would be too far to hang out with other JETS. But, this doesn`t seem to be the case. Luckily because I have a car, and don`t mind the commute, I`ll be able to hang out with peeps on the weekends. It`s only about a 25 minute to 40 minute drive (depending on who it is) to meet up with folks. I figure, considering the glamorous weekend I just had. That commute is nothing.
