Gym, AFS Speech and Mother's Day

Thursday was the first day back to school. It was cold up until May, and then May 1st the temperature shot up to 20C -ish degrees. It was great for Golden Week, but Thursday was PE. We had to run for PE outside and it was 30C! I almost past out.
My school never gave me a gym uniform, and I haven't had a chance to go out and buy shorts for it, so I was wearing black sweats and a tshirt. SO HOT~! I also don't have outside runners for PE so I'm wearing my high-tops, and they don't really have support so it kinda hurts my feet. We had to run around the school 3 times. I guess for the next couple weeks, we will be doing that and adding to the number of times we run around the school X\.
I was never very athletic, so I didn't like PE. Then we started running around the gym for about 10 mins. It was actually pretty easy and I lapped alot of the girls and a couple of the guys. I started liking running. Then we started running outside, and now I don't like it again XD. Oh well, I don't do too bad. I'm not good, but not bad... about in the middle.

Okay, enough whining XD

On Saturday, I had school. I'm not exactly sure why, but in exchange, we have Monday off. I left early though, because I had a speech thing to do (in Japanese) with AFS. All the exchange students (inbound/outbound/returnee) had to do a speech. I think it actually went pretty good.
After, Helle and I went shopping for a Mother's Day present. We ended up buying identical coffee mugs that say arigatou (thank you) on them. I thought they were cute.

WARNING - OTAKU MOMENT: We also went to Animate, which is a store a couple stories high, with a whole bunch of anime and manga, related merchandise and a cosplay level. There was also visual kei, Jrock and lolita clothing. It was pretty expensive but I really want to buy some!
I ended up buying a little pikachu charm for my phone. There were also gashapon machines. There kind of like vending machine things, and you can get random little figurines out of them.

I didn't really recognize much of the anime, but they had a Fullmetal Alchemist one. At the moment I love Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (anime series) so I decided to spend the 200 yen. I actually got one I liked :D.

After we went out for curry. It was really good. Where we went, for an extra charge, you can add different levels of spicyness. You have to be able to have eaten lvl 5 first, to try lvl 6-10. I'm not sure how they would monitor that, maybe give you a little certificate XD. The descriptions of the different levels were kinda funny. It was really good, and I'm sure I will go back, so I'll take a picture of the menu and post it on the Engrish page. We went to Starbucks after, and I got a Blueberry Cream Frappuccino again XD.

Sunday was Mother's Day. So we went to visit my host grandma. She was really nice and I gave her a 2 Canada pens and pins. My host grandpa wasn't there, but okaasan said he really wants to meet me :).
After dinner, I gave okaasan the mug and she really liked it. She said thank you over and over, and both her and my host sis kept calling it kawaii XD. I'm glad I was able to find her something.
