I have about 30 minutes left, I probably need to add wood to the fire right now but I am needing to go to the bathroom. I think I am going to go to another building to go to the bathroom though.

I studied on hello talk for a bit.

Well, I guess it happens but I am just trying to finish my paperwork right now.

Talking is sort of weird, I don't mind whatever people say anymore, I just focus on my tasks, but they do count for 10 minutes.

I might need to prepare to leave soon though. I have to leave by 7:30. I am glad I have my headphones off though, it makes me less aware of what is going on around me.

I am listening to Milan Stankovic

I managed to make my way to my appointment. I am sort of double booked though so I know that one of them will need to be dropped and the rooms are usually not very good with wifi and such but since i am using my hotspot.

I think the best use of my time is probably to keep working right now, which is exactly what I am doing at the moment. Recording ever conversation.

But basically what. ....... yes, just keep typing. They will call eventually.

I am trying to navigate English, so Vocal is really helping with that since I don't want to be speaking English so it keeps my brain in the English momentum. Very miserable. Yes, very much indeed.

I am just waiting for the numbers to turn to 600 then I can submit and turn off my hotspot. Ah yea, that is probably interfering with any calls the appointment with Chemeketa would make.

It was kind of sketchy anyway.

I am just chilling right now since it doesn't matter. I will get and email soon and I will reply to it as I can. But the only way I will be heard is to be face to face with someone and that is sort of hard at best.

Well, I guess I was just planning on wasting her time anyway.

I mean seriously it is all just sabotaging and underhanded tricks. But I mean, it probably needs to be addressed anyway and also just trying to figure out what is going on down there in general.

I guess I need to apologize? Apologize to who?

I would know if the person told me of the offense but no one does this, no one bothers to confront anything when they know it is true because of the repercussions. Mm..

So, what was the change in the situation? Who knows. I guess because Japanese is my second language, technically in the order of my languages that I use daily, it comes to me quicker sometimes.

There are times when I don't even understand English though it is my native language.

I just feel like, I should be able to use it.

Ah, yes. I am being monitored where ever I go, I can't help that, we all can't help that. But, we can do what we believe is right and safe, or what is right and difficult.

I guess that was a personal attack of some sort on that guy but, it doesn't really matter. I stand with Vlad, fuck it. He get's to pick what he wants to be. It isn't the safest thing, but he gets to go wherever he wants most of the time. That is more freedom than I have at the moment. I am still waiting for my ride.
