It's cold outside!

It is now a cold and dark night in Kyoto. Yesterday I was in my sandals for some of the day; today I was cold in my coat. I felt a bit lonely today, and missing people from home, especially my church community group and also some other key individuals! After class, as we crossed the road, I told Ko san that, from my class. I want to be better friends with her and we are kinda friends already, so i thought 'what better way to deepen the friendship a little', plus she had said something open about herself a few weeks ago. She agreed with me, and then Lin san joined us, so the three of us arranged to go sightseeing together on Saturday morning. Really nice to know I have that! And actually getting back here it was fine; I've just eaten and now am doing some kanji practice. I feel a bit disheartened that my kanji is really bad. I really struggle to remember them. But I must practice because otherwise that will always be my weak point, and I won't even pass the course if that is too weak (despite being strong in speaking and grammer, comparitively!)

Also, it was one of my classmate's birthday's today. Her parents have flown over from Switzerland for it. I presented her with a card and small present of some chopsticks, and she seemed really thrilled, so that was nice for me as she is cool.
