Diet Coke and off-brand jelly beans do not make good bedfellows.at 7:05 PM
I put lots of things in my mouth that I probably shouldn't. For example, I vividly recall being three years old and sitting on the driveway in front of the first house in which my family habitated in San Antonio. I caught two roly polies in a plastic Easter egg and played with them for a little while. I eventually put the egg to my mouth (for fun, I suppose), took it away, and noticed the roly polies were gone. But I think I know where they went.
After a thrilling Japanese period I came home and napped for about four hours. I still had a headache, but I took two aspirin at half-past five when I finally emerged from The Lauree Lair; this made everything all better. The headache drilled deep into my brain- it wasn't at the front of my forehead, which is where my headaches usually begin on the rare occasions I get them.
I am not worried about any of my impending finals. Japanese requires vocabulary review and a little grammar review. The Japanese use different words to count certain things, which confuses me a little bit. There are different systems for counting days of the month, round objects (apples and oranges), and long, slender objects (umbrellas and ding-a-lings). That I must go over more closely.
