September 5, 2000 - Tuesday
Well, today was the meeting in Sapporo. I knew that I should get up early, and I
did. I got up, showered and even left my house in time to catch an earlier train
than I had planned originally. I grabbed a grapefruit juice on the way and caught
my train.
The ride in was uneventful and pleasant. In Sapporo I walked to the meeting place
and looked for a bagel shop that I'd heard about. I couldn't see it, so I popped
into the international center to pick up some informational brochures and then went
to McDonalds for breakfast. I had a chicken burger.
Then I headed back to the meeting place and changed.
The meeting itself was fine. I learned a bit, maybe gave some ideas to others, enjoyed
myself most of the time. My co-worker and I went out for lunch together which was
nice. We haven't spent a lot of time together at all before this.
After the meeting I went out with my friend Pamella to an izakaya for something to
eat. I enjoyed it. It was nice to have a meal out with someone and speak English
all the time.
When we finished I walked back to the train station and caught my train back to Otaru.
I caught the second last one and luckily I got a seat. It was very crowded.
I walked to my apartment, and almost literally sat down at the computer and started
to write this entry. It was nice to get out of my school for a change, but I missed
my students too.
