I am running a slight fever I need to finish my math homework.... Oh I guess I didn't have math homework, thank god.

I also was able to finish my Japanese homework fairly easily.

I am just trying to get through math class right now. People are going over the test and I am struggling to find energy to be here. I asked me mom if we could go to Safeway after school so I can get maiko mushrooms for my butter miso salmon bowl.

I want to keep typing my thoughts since I don't feel like him going over problems I haven't even looked at yet will help me. I plan on just copying the answers anyway so, I will worry about learning properly once I get home. I will very much dedicate today to math since it is just going to get harder from here. The first thing I need to worry about is just getting the math homework in, then after that I can spend time actually learning the math.

I am a bit worried about returning my receipt from Uwajimaya to the school since I did use cooking alcohol in the recipe and I don't know how strict the school is about that. Andrea advised me not to bring it up to Michelle ( her superior ) so I am not going to bring it up. If they ask any questions, I'll explain what it was used for.

I would love to be paid though, that is awesome if I get paid for making the food I wanted to make anyway. I am a bit worried about my mental health while I'm on my period right now, but I am hoping the tiredness it also brings makes my fluctuation in moods right now less noticeable to people around me.

I am very worried about the next math test I have to take but it won't be for a few weeks luckily. I am also wondering if I should go to the next Japanese club activity. They are doing origami, I am not good at origami. I mean I don't need to be good at something to attend, I can always play Hanafuda anyway. I think it is more important to figure out my reasons of going to the club. Should I go to play Hanafuda or should I try talking Japanese to Andrea's boyfriend?.. I mean I don't want a jealous Latina after my hide just because I want to practice Japanese with the only guy in the club who actually might speak it to me.

I think I should go just to be social. I also don't think going to the movie will be useful for learning Japanese at all so, I feel like I could make the most out of it better than that. All I know is that I am too tired to even think right now so, the whole issue of Thursday is going to have to wait the day of.

We are doing graphing in class right now, I am deciding to skip this since I don't have markers like the teacher does, and I feel it will confuse me to make notes of this. I just know that I am waiting until the class ends.

I can't wait until I have my salmon, I think I need to eat more protein and the b vitamins are needed right now. I was going to have steak bites but maybe I'll save that for tomorrow after my appointment with my Prescriber.

I don't know what else to write in this little sliver of time I have right now, but I guess I'll see you guys next story.
