Bleah. My plans for today's meal went all upside down when the other store didn't have milk and the other one had only big fish packages, ones that'd feed a small family. I had to already change plans or lunch because they didn't have the wok thing in the menu today. Nobody's letting me eat what I want. On top of that, I forgot to get money from the cash machine again so I ran out of money when I was trying to pay for my food -_- I'm too used to paying with a card in Finland. Well, it forced me to leave the bag of raisin buns behind, which was probably a good thing. But it was really embarrassing...

Lately I've been drinking milk again and haven't got any symptoms from the lactose intolerance, at least anything I'd notice. It's so great, I love milk. I can't enjoy it as much here, though, because all the milk has so much fat in it... I like my milk fat-free, otherwise it tastes greasy. The smallest persentage I've found here is 1 %, and that's only one label that is sold in only one convenience store in the neighbourhood. Most of the other milks have 2-4 % fat in them. And today, there wasn't even that one label in the store... Sigh. Too complicated.

I had my country presentation (about Finland) in English class today. It went well and I could answer a lot of questions, because I naturally know a lot about the subject. But because of that, I only slept 3 hours last night, so I'm not in the best of moods... I even drank coffee after lunch today. Well, it was a caramel macchiatto, but anyway. (It was pretty good for a coffee, by the way. Sweet enough.)

Siigh. Nothing much happened today. I was a bit late for school. Japanese lesson was okay. I spent an hour changing the next paper on the watercolour board so I could colour it sometime this weekend or next week. Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away) is on TV tonight at eight. I really need a shower, I should go before that. I wanted to eat those raisin buns or a christmas cake roll while I watch it, but it seems that's impossible. Though I'm kinda getting enough depressed that I could go get some money and buy that roll now... But I think I won't bother, it's better for me. I'm planning on going downtown tomorrow and I want to stop by at a good cafe on the road to get a piece of cake and I want to eat pizza in the evening. Plus I want to eat a christmas cake on Sunday because all the Japanese seem to be doing so and I want to take part in the tradition. If only I could get a single piece from the convenience store instead of a whole cake... And with that, I don't want any more trouble with my diet this weekend.

Agh, I really have nothing to write about. I'm gonna go get a shower and watch that Chihiro after that.
