大切なのは君がいることで。。。

Thanks to this week's quiz, I can now write words like barometric pressure, mud, lava, circumference, the North Pole and the Meteorological Agency in kanji. And that's just this week's set for the JLPT II class. Not sure how crucial these will be for the exam in - gasp! - less than five weeks, but for my overall goal of becoming fluent, it can't hurt.

I walked to class yesterday in snow flurries. I finally succumbed to temptation and turned on my heater after class. I may have to pinch yen to compensate for my gas bill next month, but when I'm freezing under two layers of clothing, my coat and a blanket, there's only so much else I can do.

In an attempt to embrace this climate, I bought a pink Christmas mini-tree from the 100-yen shop's Christmas decorations display (which was up by mid-October).
