Omedetou gozaimasu, Marcus-chan!

Yesterday we had a birthday dinner for Marcus who joined the "23 years and awesome" - club. We made tempura and Emma made marängsviss. It took some time to make the dinner though, and since you have to be out of the dining area before 0.00, we had the dessert in a nearby park. It's still around 19-23° at night here, so it was really nice.

Some interesting theories by various Japanese people:
- Drinking cold drinks in summer time lowers your body temperature so the risk for catching a cold increases.
- Eating natto makes your blood flow better.

Schools is going okay. My new class is a bit more noisy than the old one, and I liked my old class, but I wanted to speed up a bit. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case with all of our new teachers. Yesterday we didn't learn anything new at all. No words, no grammar. We made old things in the book, and now we're almost at the same chapter in the book as my old class. Sometimes I want to skip school so I can actually study, but I'm aiming for my 100% attendance so I can get a few extra coins after a year.

I've been out running a few times a week lately, and I can already feel the increase in my daily energy. I've had a problem with being almost sick for about one week at a time, and it's been stopping me from getting good routines on running.

I've also started to start my mornings with just waking up, and sitting up. Just sitting for 10-20 minutes, and calm down and just have some quiet time before breakfast. It's really refreshing!

When we went food shopping yesterday I also bought a loaf of seemingly dark bread, so I'm gonna go try it out now! Bai bai!
