hey all,
Michi and I took a few small trips this month, and during New Year's we've got a bigger one planned to one of the islands far south of Tokyo Bay.
I've only gone to one kendo lesson this month. The others were on Saturday, and I just have the hardest time getting up and getting motivated for them. At least for the Sunday lessons I have a day to recover from my Friday English classes (which are suicidally depressing: "OK, X, what's your answer for number 3?" "There are three products in North America: U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico." "Is U.S.A. a product? No? Canada? Mexico? Then why did you pick product for your answer?").
Work this month has been tough. The boss has been pretty absentee, and one of our teachers was gone due to stomach problems for a few days. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the last day of work, Dec. 26th, and it doesn't help that the boss is saying different things to different people and then disappearing without having to face the consequences of her capriciousness. There is also a bit of stress about recordings and printing the materials before the holidays start.
I've kinda lost it with going back to some of my older games, like Dragon's Dogma, Dark Souls, and Skyrim. After you've put hundreds of hours into them, they really do lose some of their luster. I think this weekend I will go and buy The Last of Us, which I've heard good things about. I haven't picked up a PS4 yet, but there are still a few games for the PS3 that I want to play first (like Dark Souls 2, which comes out in March 2014), and I can't really justify keeping two systems in the apartment.
Cheers,
