When I got up Thursday morning , the door to my bathroom was locked and my suitemate was n't home to unlock it . I slipped a note under the door asking her to unlock it and took my toothbrush to work . When I reached work , I pulled up the hurricane tracker and was shocked to find that Ike was headed straight for Houston and mandatory evacuations were in place for part of the county .

A: What is causing the narrator such panic ?

I did not want to start crying ! It did n't help when my new friend Ela commented that it must be hard for me to say good - bye . ( Yes , Ela , it is hard ) .

Well , it 's been about five days here in Japan . Have been extremely busy sightseeing and shopping and just generally having fun . I bought myself a new shirt ( a One Piece one ) and some phone hangers , which I ' ve decided are going to hang on my bag ( since they wo n't fit anywhere else , and I ca n't put badges on my shiny new bag ) . We found those in the Shounen Jump store in Fukuoka .

What would happen if I did n't get the phone hangers ?
