Band concert prep.

Hi All

Yesterday I took the day off and just relaxed. I watched a really bad 90's
movie called the first 20 million is the hardest. And I'm reading the street
laywer which is a pretty simple yet enjoyable john grisham book. Today was
good, but I think tuesdays are my best days in terms of classes. Also I got
excited today because when I was telling the librarian about my trip to
Osaka she made a great suggestion that I can stop in a few places on the
way. Also she talked about getting to nagasaki / kagoshima and it only take
about 2 hours each way by train. Which is doable, but it makes a long day
trip. Besides that brass band is going later than usual because we have a
concert on sunday. Tommorow in Judo we choose our sparring groups...so we
will see who I get paired with. Playing my trumpet today was also suprising
satisfying. Just doing something that really stimulates my brain. During the
idle time I just play around and improvise random notes and after doing that
for a while I actually felt like playing my trumpet was relieving some
stress. (Thats a first for me). we are also playing a song called of sailor
and sea. Its some navy tribute song, its pretty cool, but I wish I had more
time to practice it before the concert on sunday. Besides that I'm just
trying to relax and enjoy the whole foreign country experience.

Well thats all for today.
