It’s ALMOST July though, and you know what that means? 4 weeks till I come home! 18 until I see Eli, currently. I’m super stoked.
This week has been good. My spirits have really picked up/evened out in the last couple weeks I feel. I’m not depressed or frustrated or lonely. Maybe sometimes, but in general I’ve just accepted things here for what they are and look forward to making the most of my last couple weeks.
I’m tired today though. Been on the computer SO much. It hurts my head. It’s hot outside, too. But I’m focused and productive. Researching for one of my 3 papers, trying to do a decent job on it (even though it barely counts for anything). Breaking it up with etsy.com vintage dress searches and other random shit, Wolfram Alpha, Anthropological Linguistics, Virginia Woolf. You name it, I’m doing it.
Friday was fun. Hung out with Mike, and mostly his girlfriend, Anne. It was really fun. We stayed up till 5 AM talking girl talk. Been a while since I had that sort of conversation. Needless to say, I missed the last train home and slept over. We talked so much my throat was sore. Spent yesterday recovering and being productive. Today I had hoped to get out and see Star Trek but Japan is lame and has only one showing at 8:45 PM today. Molly was going to go with me but couldn’t make her last bus home at that time, so we’re planning sometime this week. It’s cool, it couldn’t be helped. Now I’m just staring down the barrel of an empty day, trying to figure out what to do with myself.
Read all the books I brought here (all 3 of them, not enough…read them all in one month 
), am tired of the internet (as stated before), don’t want to play video games, can’t sleep in this heat, thought about going out aimlessly wandering but the heat exhausts me and I’m saving funds for 18 days from now when Eli arrives. It sort of sucks putting myself more or less on lock down, financially, but it will be more than worth it when she comes. I’ll have plenty of spending cash to go all crazy and make up for the past 6 weeks of not having a life.
This week is the 3rd to last week of school. Not much going on, finals yet. Movie sometimes this week, teaching English on Thursday afternoon. Will just be spending a lot of time studying kanji, vocab and grammar, as well as history/religion final. Oh yeah, and those 3 papers.
Despite what I’ve said, I am happy though. But I am really looking forward to coming home. 32 more days!
