So today marks the 19th birthday of my friend Naoto, so first of all I'd like to extend my best wishes towards him for today and the year ahead, and I hope he's having a good time at University in Hyogo.
It comes to no surpise to people that I am one of those procrastinator types. Although I'd like to add that thanks to the help of Jennie's great free time and studying timetable, I'm feeling a lot less stretched for time to work on an assignment, and that's just great, because an unstressed me is a happy me.
Uh... right. So in sports our team lost volleyball again, however I'm pleased to say the results were comfortable with 18-21 and 19-21. Although that probably puts us around 5th out of the 8 teams, so it's nice to know were average... I think.
And this week I'd like to bring up some food for thought - has anyone ever noticed how sometimes if you learn a new word or term it seems to pop up more often than usual? I mean, I used the phrase "layman's terms" in a phone conversation with a local internet company and realised I didn't even know if that was the right thing to say, although over the course of the next week or so I saw it being used at least twice. Try it yourself - learn a new word with today's Mid-Week Website and see how much you can spot it in everyday use. You'd be surprised.

I often wondered 'bout this new word thing too. You could have taken this story out of my life, know that too.
