  • [ School Shopping in Japan ]

  • Good morning, everyone!

  • Today I'm off of school because of Golden Week.

  • It is a Tuesday, a bright beautiful day,

  • but now that I finally have a few days off

  • I have a complete and utter mess

  • of papers and things that need to be organized

  • so today I'm going out to meet Taylor

  • and hopefully buy some things to organize all my school stuff

  • so I'm taking you to my favorite store

  • to get some Japanese school supplies!

  • Then we'll talk more about how school has been going.

  • Let's go!

  • Salad cheers!

  • Loretta!!

  • It's like a censor bar over your mouth!!

  • That was wonderful...

  • OOPS!

  • Oh, hello!

  • Sorry to interrupt - but I failed!

  • The only thing I managed to get done yesterday was

  • eating salad, eating apple pie,

  • I did discover that Japan is stocking Doritos Cool Ranch flavor now...

  • but other than that, I forgot to get school supplies!!

  • So we're going back out today for Taylor's birthday!

  • So we're going out for a quick brunch

  • and then we're going to try and get some school supplies today!

  • Let's do this!

  • So we just made it to the restaurant for Taylor's birthday!

  • Happy Birthday, Taylor!!

  • Hello everyone - I finally did it!

  • I got all the things I needed to organize my life!

  • It's also mothers day at the end of this weekend

  • So I'm packing a quick care package for my mom.

  • I was fortunate enough to be on Japanese TV

  • a good handful of times last year

  • so I'm making her a nice DVD of everything that I did

  • with some nice goodies as well.

  • "Koi Matcha" - Kit Kats in Intense Green Tea Flavor

  • and this is Haichu, but it's the lemon flavor

  • that has crunchy bits inside.

  • My mom's in love with pretzels so I thought she might like these

  • "salad flavor" ... which is basic normal flavor.

  • Then my friend who stayed with me when we went to Sendai

  • he got me some treats from Kyoto!

  • One each, the rest are mine!

  • I did a couple giveaways recently so

  • I'm mailing out the prizes now.

  • Just to let you know, you guys can actually mail me!

  • I have a mailing address now so

  • If you ever want to send me a message or postcard or

  • anything other than a comment or tweet, you can snail-mail me!

  • Congratulations to the winners!!!

  • I'm excited to get these out. Sorry it took so long!

  • It's just so dirt cheap to send mail from Japan

  • so I'm having a lot of fun doing mail.

  • I'll show you the rest of what I got from Sekaido

  • after I get back from going to the post office

  • because I really want to get these urgent things out first!

  • Time to hit the post office!

  • [ HAUL TIME ]

  • What I got from Sekaido -- 1st is all the mailing envelopes

  • maybe a dollar each at most.

  • I got like a campus notebook just because

  • if I learn Japanese words in class, I can write them here

  • and it's preforated which is really nice.

  • I also got this like, clear file

  • This is like a ringed binder, it has rings in it

  • so every one of my classes has a sleeve for

  • the syllabus, the directions, notes on how to do the homework

  • and then blank paper inside as well.

  • I like having it all in just one (beautiful) thing.

  • Then I have these really thick-sided envelopes

  • All of my classes seem to not use textbooks?

  • So I have way too much printed papers instead

  • which I would bring home and just dump into different piles

  • but now each and everyone of these is labeled on the side

  • and also on the front with these really cool markers!

  • I used to watch Live Action Sailor Moon and

  • they also had these thick "Uni" markers like these

  • matte colored gel markers, with really thick ink

  • and it makes a really pretty blue color that matches my nails!

  • I also got my favorite Frixion pens, because they're pens

  • but you can also erase them!

  • I got one in black, and then one tricolored

  • in black red and blue. I'm so happy with this!

  • All papers are in their organized place

  • I have a color-coding tricolored pen that is erasable

  • so I can make as many mistakes as I want!

  • I didn't realize it until now when I did all this

  • but I'm taking NINE classes... UGHH

  • it didn't dawn on me how many I was doing or why I was so stressed

  • so I'm really weirdly excited that I got some good stationary.

  • Plus, it's a good thing that I did this because

  • today is the last day of Golden Week.. NOOOO

  • so I think I'm just going to get some work done remotely

  • then make dinner because I haven't eaten yet today!

  • I had a coffee and that's it.

  • I really need to eat

  • and get ready for the end of the week

  • and the start of the rest of the semester. Here I goooo!

  • Let's get some work done and get ready for a good week!

  • Now it's time for me to get back to work...

  • I feel like now I can approach my life with a bit more of

  • intention and willpower.

  • For Golden Week, I basically just did a staycation

  • I didn't stay, but I visited a hotel with Kelly and Ozzy Awesome

  • you can see the video over on Kelly's channel but

  • we went to a hotel that's run only by robots

  • Let's see how dinner turned out...

  • One of my favorite recipes to make is Dak Boekkum Tang

  • which is basically chicken wanggsss

  • and gochujang and potatoes

  • and you broil it down into this sweet, spicy sauce for hours.

  • When I'm in a lazy mood I make something similar,

  • With ground chicken and sweet potatoes...

  • anything I can eat in a bowl with a spoon makes me happy.

  • I have to write a paper tonight, do a presentation

  • and do the reading for another class. Right now it is...

  • UGHHH- 7:30!! I need to get started!!

  • We'll see how Part 2 of the semester goes.

  • Thanks for watching, and I'll see you guys in my next school vlog / video!

  • I have some exciting stuff I can't wait to share!

  • Thanks so much for watching today!
