o.O
Many international students took a trip to Kawagoe yesterday. Kawagoe was a really, really neat place... especially the rows of candy shops. I was going to write about it, but I just ain't feeling the blogging love right now. I'm stressed from being so busy. I just want a few nights of a solid 8 hours sleep and a day or two of JUST me time. NOT time to study, NOT time to be with friends, NOT time to go on organized trips... just ME time. I keep forgetting that studying, socializing and sightseeing are not privately restful things, even if they are enriching. I'd like to get all caught up with my language study so I can stop feeling so linguistically constipated and move onto other things. What I'd REALLY like is some time to explore the neighborhood here.

We have a break this week on Tuesday and Thursday. Since I have no class on Weds, that means three days with no class for me. Sounds like a long vacation but not so much. Tuesday is another organized trip, this one to Nikko. Of course I'm going, even though it means getting up early. Wednesday, even though I have no class, I'll come to campus to go to the gym. I also have a potential english conversation lesson ($30/ hour) starting this Wednesday. Thursday, finally, thank God, I have no plans. Friday I'm going to try to go to the gym again after class. I guess I'm working my way up to 3x a week again since I did better this week even after just the once. I want to go tomorrow but it looks like it won't happen since I have a Q and A session with my English lesson clients during the time that I would go.

Anyway, I should make the best of my time by not writing more, so instead I'll just say...



BOOGA BOOGA!
