Today I ended up walking to school because my bike had a flat tire. This was the second time this week that I have had a flat tire. I'm not sure but I think that I might have a hole. However, when I inflated it again after school it seemed fine. If it is flat again tomorrow I'm going to take it into the shop to get fixed. But I did get to the post office yesterday and shipped Christmas gifts home to my family. I still have more than a moth till then but I thought that it would be more likely to get there in time it I started early. Shipping was expensive but I got to practice my Japanese with the post woman there. Today was freezing cold and windy. I think that Japan must have some of the strongest winds in the world. I was afraid that my bike would just stop with me on top peddling my hardest. I have one more class and one more test until the trip to Hiroshima. Yeah! Getting up before 7 to be off! I'm not looking forward to waking up earlier than usually on Friday morning.
I got to have my first earthquake in Japan. It was really minor and short lived. In fact I didn't even know that it was an earthquake until after it was over. It was kind of funny to see. All of the Japanese students instantly moved to duck under the table and all of the gaijin were like "huh?" For some reason when it happened I was thinking. "Is this a joke, I wonder how they moved a whole building?" They told us later that Nagoya Universities buildings are reinforced so they are safe during quakes. Ours was actually just an aftershock from another one up north of us. Afterwards the hole SIA club went and got sushi! Although I found out that you are suppose to put your chopsticks across your cup not on the table.
