Last weekend before school starts~ What's everyone doing for their last couple days of freedom?

Despite the fact it's summer vacation, I still haven't really found a reason to update this thing, huh~? Oh well. Everyone seems to be taking a little break, so I'm not going to worry about it so much.

Though, I do have to say, you better update soon, Fu~ji. I don't care if you update every day - you're still missing here!

Akako-nee and her fiance have found and bought a little house that's only a short train ride away from ours, and they're planning to move in within the next couple of weeks. It's so weird to think that she's going to be out of the house soon... but she's been working hard, and she really does love her fiance, so I'm really happy for her. <3 The wedding's scheduled for next spring (she's hoping for it to be during the cherry blossom season), and both her and my mom are having so much fun getting it organized. She's decided she'd like a western wedding, so there are stacks and stacks and more stacks of magazines on the living room table.

The boys are staying out of it - Daisuke-nii took one look at the dresses and took off running. Heh~ I'm going to laugh the day he gets married.

Hee~ The house just overall has a really nice atmosphere, right now. Everyone's busy, but yet so happy. I think the temperature is topping last year's, but I don't find myself minding it anymore~

Though, Oi~shi, that reminds me! My dad wants to talk to you. I have noooo idea what about, but he said he's going to give you a phone call within the next couple of days. <3

Thanks for inviting me to join you, Oi~shi~ Tezuka~ It was fun. <3 I'd love to do it again.

Ah~h, how nice summer vacation feels. I love having half-day practices, too. With only a couple of shifts a week to worry about, and half-day practices, I can just relax in the sun, and it feels nice. Of course, the heat is less than desirable, but I don't mind, really~ August only gets worse, but I'm ready.

The first festival I go in the summer is always the time when the fact it's summer really sinks in. I love it~ <3

Just for the record, Oishi, you suck. <3

You can try to get me back, Momo-chan~ I don't think it's gonna happen, though. <3 Especially not if we team up again to get you twice. You in for that, Ochibi~?

Everyone's said all they need to about this weekend. Kyoto really is pretty, but I think I'd rather go back on a day when it's not waterfalling on top of us.

Remember how I mentioned Akako-nee and her boyfriend wanted to take Oishi and I out for dinner? We~ell, as it turns out (and I've suspected them all along!), they're planning to get married~ I'm so happy for her - she'll be the first of us five who does settle down completely. She's still been living at home while she has been going to school, but since she graduates this year, I think she's planning on moving out this summer. It's gonna be weird to not have her around, anymore, but... hee. I'm looking so forward to this~ She's wanted it for so long, and I really like her boyfriend. He'll take good care of her.

Rain, rain, go away~

Marui-kun~ Any updates about this beach party you and Sengoku were planning? ^_~ The rain really doesn't seem like it wants to stop right now, but after the rainy season has passed would probably be a good idea. I think everyone's anxious to do things that doesn't involve getting wet 'cause of rain.

A~ah, I took a lesson out of Momo's book. I think I'm going to have to write something on my forehead to remind myself of this journal and read it over a million times before I'll remember to write more regularly. Oh well~ I'll get the hang of it one day. Maybe Momo and I can remind each other - do it as a favor to a senpai, Momo~? <3

I think everyone's commented on the heat lately~ It's difficult to try to do anything when I feel like I'm a melting ice cube. I have been checking the weather forecasts lately, though... I think the rainy season is about to come. Later this week it's supposed to just pour and then... not stop. Does everyone have their umbrellas ready~?

Hee, that reminds me! Oi~shi, Akako-nee and her boyfriend wanna take us out to dinner. I don't know why, but you'll come with us, right? She's thinking Thursday night. She's been really happy lately, though... more than usual. It's making me suspicious!

Does anyone have any interesting news to share about anything~?

Arara~ I've completely forgotten to update my journal, haven't I? I guess that's what happens when you suddenly become busy. I can't really accuse Oishi of doing so many things and having no time, as a result, since... I'm kinda doing the same thing. Hopefully life will stop some time soon~

Hee~ Looking forward to the tournament... even if I'm a little disappointed I can't play with Oishi this time around. I do understand why (and it's a good idea), and hey, it's fun to be focusing on doubles at practice... even if my dear partner of mine is a bit loopy today. ^_~

Hey, O'chibi? Mada mada da ne~ <3

Following Momo's example, I might as well say how my health check went~ Apparently my eyes are still amazing, sensei was trying to find something wrong with my teeth, and... I haven't grown since last year. :/ I do weigh a couple pounds more, though, which is always a good thing~

Also, Fuji and I got lucky~ Our classroom was moved to the floor below, so we don't have to walk as many flights of stairs. I suppose it is good exercise, but hey, I like being lazy, sometimes. <3 PE has also been made into three blocks, now, instead of just two, which is awesome, too - and no health class, this year! As great as it is to know that kinda stuff, sometimes you just don't want to hear it over and over again when you're already well aware of what a well balanced diet is like, and how you should take care of your body and exercise lots.

I think I'm gonna go out for a jog~ Everyone make sure to enjoy the cherry blossoms before they're all gone!

'Kay, weather, it's not funny. It's been so sunny and warm outside over the past few weeks, and now suddenly you've decided to give us winter temperatures, again? Mou, stop it. :/ It's supposed to be warm when school starts, not cold enough to want to wear a blanket around my shoulders on the walk.

Speaking of school, though~ Hee, classes beginning. <3 I don't think I've ever felt this excited about the school year beginning, before. I think it's just 'cause I want to make sure to make the most of our last year~ It's too bad I can't pick any exploratories, though. Seigaku needs to figure something else out other than having them after normal classes end - it doesn't make it very fair for the people who have club.

Did I hear that you're practicing doubles together, Oi~shi, Momo~?

I love this time of year~

Everyone's in a good mood~ The new school year is starting, the tennis season is just beginning, new faces are in the club, opponents are stronger than ever~ The weather is getting warmer, the cherry blossoms are fully in bloom, and we don't have as much rain to worry about. Hee. I don't know, it just makes me feel really happy. <3

Thank you for the match, too, Ochibi~ I haven't had that fun playing a singles match in a while, and you've gotten even better throughout the years. Congrats to the other regulars, too~ Everyone did really well. We have a really strong team, this year - stronger than ever, I think - and I have no doubt that we'll go to the top.

Hee, I need to do something about this energy of mine~ I don't wanna go to sleep, yet, so I think I'm gonna go do some gymnastics in the basement.

I've been so busy bugging other people on their journals that I haven't really thought to update my own~ I don't exactly have anything in particular to say, but might as well give it a try, anyway.

The cherry blossoms are gonna be in bloom soon. :D I've seen a couple trees already start getting the small little buds, and according to the news, they're really gonna start later this week, and early next. Everyone, make sure you're getting ready to go out and see them~ &l3; It's gonna be warmer than last year.

So, you coming on Monday, then, Ochibi~? You better be prepared for a huge hug the moment you step onto the tennis courts. >D I owe you a good two years of daily hugs.
