Hello, is there anybody in there, just nod if you can hear me.

Making a short guest appearance because someone was nice enough to give me a renewed subscription on April fool's day. I figured it was a joke, but apparently it's not! This actually works out for me because I attempted to do my student teaching bit in the spring (remember that? Gonna be...

In what will probably be my last blog post here, I just have one thing to say.

Today, one of my respected teachers told me that I should apply for a fulbright scholarship, since I want to learn German and I am smart.

That's pretty great.

It's 8:14 am and I am ready to go back to bed. Which is awful, but uh.. I've been up technically since 5:45 and my cats decided they wanted to be up an hour before that, so I spent half an hour fighting with them before finally shutting them out of the bedroom. Jerks.

Gotta call my dentists office to schedule a crown, gotta call...

Kind of hating life right now. It is stupid and dumb and I feel stupid and insignificant and awful.

I suppose everyone has these days. I fought with my boyfriend this weekend (first time since sometime while I was in Japan, maybe Novemberish?) and that was no fun. I hate hate hate fighting with him. I hate it.

So whatever. At least methods class was...

10:30 on a Friday night, I don't have to work til tomorrow evening, and I am.. printing off a paper for class and cleaning my apartment. Wtf?? Actually, the boy called and he invited me to come over and watch him jam with some new friends on bluesy stuff, but I declined. He sounded almost surprised. I really appreciate the fact that he called to...

So I thought that once I came home I'd have time to think and read and update.

Yeah right. I've got 15 credit hours of classes (though granted, 6 of those are for entertainment only - so I like learning) and ~20 hours of work, plus my sex ed meetings on Mondays with office hours on Wednesdays, and I'm now working the test site for...

I have been in school for 3 days. I have been back to work for 2.

First day: good. Extremely tired because I am in class (with a few hour breaks here and there for food, thankfully) from 9:30 am to 8 pm.

Second day: work in the afternoon. What I thought was going to be a relaxing afternoon of watching movies and studying kanji...

I slept horribly last night. This sounds so incredibly lame but it's the first night I've slept in my apartment since I got back to the States. There have only been 2 other nights that I didn't sleep with my boyfriend, and those were because I was in Norfolk for stuff and he wasn't. I didn't have a problem sleeping alone in Japan but then...

I'd like to update you on my life. Really, I would. However, there's absolutely nothing to update on. I get up. Sometimes I bum around my boyfriend's house (I don't have internet access at my place again until next Thursday) or play my ds. Other times I go back to my apartment and hang out with my recently re-acquired kittenloves. Today I went to target...

Home safe and sound. Expect more regular updates from now on, and more regular commenting too. I miss you guys.

It was my birthday on Friday. It was pretty much the greatest thing ever, so that was awesome.

Today was my nihongo no happyo.. in English, Japanese presentation. I did pretty well, I think. One guy in our class was totally useless - after we had extensive help writing these things for the past 2 weeks - and if looks could kill, Sasaki-sensei and Shirai-sensei...

I am dying.

No seriously.

I threw up in class on Friday (well, ran out of said class and threw up in the bathroom, thank god - I don't know the word for vomit in Japanese) and although I desperately didn't want to be in class anymore, that's not QUITE how I wanted to make my exit. I think it's just stress but wow. Normally...
