60 Day Picture Challenge

Day 50: A picture of  your most frequented place
Hikami High School
It was a close contest between other places in my little town that I go to during a regular week but I'm here three times a week. Most other schools in Japan look very similar - a grey rectangular building with the school's name displayed - but I'm thankful that Hikami was recently renovated inside out, so it has some visual appeal. The agricultural specialty also means that it is larger in land size than most other schools and has nice green pastures to stroll about in. To see what I'm talking about, check out more pictures of Hikami from my school's cultural festival.

Day 20: A childhood anecdote
Peer Pressure (Fail): When I was younger I was always super hyper and would climb anything I could. For fun, I would climb on top of my dresser and jump down to bed below. I was (was?) also a bit bossy, so when my friend came over, I decided that we do that for fun. Problem was that she was older and slightly more pudgy than I was so when she jumped, she slammed into the side of the bed. In a panic to not get in trouble, I started rubbing body lotion on her stomach to make it feel better before I eventually went to find our moms. She was ok, but to this day she still playfully chides me about it today and we laugh. I usually snap back that it wasn't the only time she followed me in a climbing challenge. Another time she got stuck in a tree for a good hour. Good times, right Jewels? ;D
