Our friend from Japanese Class works at her uncle's place who runs a sushi restaurant. She was working today and because it wasn't busy, she sat down with us and we had a nice chat. When we were about to pay for our bill, she said she's going to cover for it. So she ended up treating us to lunch. Honestly, she is one of the most amazing people I know and I'm grateful that I get to be friends with her.

Sitting outside and sipping mocha while chatting about random stuff. Mocha, Louise's treat!
