10 May 2007- 7:07am: a train, somewhere

Ahh I am such a douche. I don't have any presents for the Sapporo people! Why didn't I buy some Rice key chains or something (anything) at the airport or whatever? I know they expect the Americans to screw up, but this seems like complete foot-in-mouth. Embarrasing (already!). What do I do? I could wrap up my Brown shirt, since it's never been word, and that would be a Rice thing, definitely. I don't know. I feel so stupid and self-centered. SO STUPID, IVY. I guess I can make up for it with a really well-done thank-you note, but not to my mind. I can't believe this.

I can't believe a lot of things. Somehow, last night, between sitting at Ueno station waiting for this train to come, and boarding said train for the first time, I lost my ticket. How this happened, I have no idea. So I had to run over to the ticket office, and be a total ass once more, trying to get a new ticket. And I did, but that's besides the point. I keep forgetting that I can actually write romanji, especially for place names. Ugh.

I guess the one good, intelligent thing I've done was buy tickets BACK to Tokyo. That was probably a good call.

I just feel so stupid. I memorized "excuse me" and "May," but not much else. Why didn't I teach myself more words? Such a dumb American.

I don't even know if Ken Iwamoto got my e-mail. What if I'm late, and he doesn't know why? Then I'll REALLY be the idiot.

I hope I get some damn good pictures while I'm here.
