First Forty

Leo (Salazar) in L.A., but I never see him; get my Class M license at the DMV — a real cinch; guy tells me story about a buddy of his in Nam who was bit on the ass by a snake; by the end he’s in hysterics.

School, sleep, work — I hate this; listened to music that reminded me of a lot of things; excited about planning future dates, etc.; run best six miles of my life; watch “Passage to India”; Todd in a weird mood; blow off homework again.

Today we made Geogia [sic] and went to the bottom of it. We met a dog named Grover.

Yumi and Yuka meet and then hang out with Yuriko; pick up t-shirts at RealColor; Hiroe helps me at Kuumbwa; Yumi home sick so I go home straight away; she’s just resting up from a long day.

Saw Ray again; talked about my parents; he thinks I’m committed to Meggin; more anxiety; speak with Professor Treat about Indian Hobbyism; more to think about; message from Ann; finish letter to Meggin; earthquake in Japan.

Hear casting call for some Disney commercial; Claire and I are game so we swing on by; the shoot is for the VHS release of “The Little Mermaid”; make up some B.S. and somehow am chosen; I hear about the commercial but never see it myself; Cherie on the road a lot.

Almost biking weather!; realize winter has been bringing me down; planning my future a bit more; think about riding with Chris; want to see Sean; talk with Amy in The Cage; very tired lately (from lack of sleep).

We left and got a good start. [The rest is unreadble, due to a bookmarker that got in the way while photo-copying]

Yumi and I bicker during morning walk up to campus; she’s mad I can’t spend more time with her; check on Yuka’s flights; new Japanese teacher at Cabrillo; Shinya brings Yuka from airport; Yumi completely surprised.

Reading “The Names”; Mom having trouble visualizing her future; Jim making her feel guilty; Meggin calls while I’m napping; I’m out of it; she’s depressed, and neither of us knows what to do; try making a list of ‘wants’.
