I've got to make more of an effort to keep updating this blog. I was recently re-reading my blog from Sweden, and it makes me remember things that I'd just lose otherwise. I've been far too lazy.

Work is gouge your eyes out boring right now. I work at a senior high school and I'm a somewhat under utilised ALT. It's exam time right now so unless the teachers are directly involved with the exams (which I am oh so not) they have a little more free time. I've been filling this time with Japanese study and chatting, but the weight of all the time is starting to press on me, and left to my own devices I'm doing less and less. Inertia breeds inertia, and the thought of cracking open a textbook is enough to put me perilously to sleep.

Time has slowed to a crawl.

I'm going to Nagoya tomorrow though! My friend has to get a re-entry permit put on her visa so I'm bumming along for the ride. Anything that gets me out of school for the day right now is a good thing. I want to go to the foreign book store and foreign food store, but at some point I need to go and do all the tourist-y things, the castle, the shrine, the robot museum and so on. I might head up there after Kyoto at some point, I bet the castle would look beautiful around then.
