I have to read a book review for the manga series "よつばと!" (Yotsubato) which translates to "With Yotsuba!" It's a slice-of-life manga series that follows a little girl through mundane activities like shopping and activities on a rainy day. I'll read the book review about it for class, and maybe I'll pick up an actual book to read.

What games or sports did I play this week?:

I'm not a huge fan of sports, but I did play "Guess Who" with my fellow Aoyama Chatroom leaders at a welcome event. For context, I'm working for Aoyama Gakuin University as a "Chatroom Leader," which basically means I'll run a table where students can practice English. Aoyama hosted an event for the Chat Leaders to talk, get to know each other, play games and eat snacks.

Other news from this week:

I've opened a Japanese bank account. I'm still waiting to get my cash card for the account, but I can start earning money and sending it from the U.S. to Japan for me to spend. That's kind of an adult thing to be excited about and look forward to.
