Day

10:02am JST Wednesday 29 October 2003

Well the good thing: I'm beginning to remember what time the train will come. I knew I gotta be at the station before ten oh oh.

The not as good thing: I didn't make it. I missed the train by 3 minutes and have to wait 5 minutes for the next one.

Idea: don't cut it so close.

State of my life

State of My Life

1. Yesterday, on the day I planned to visit Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, it rained. Today it's sunny (even warm) (and I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt cause it was cold yesterday). The two weeks before yesterday it was sunny (not counting my previous weekend, when it rained). This seems to epitomize my experience in Japan lately.

   Blarg.

   How can I complain? I'm in Japan for goodness sakes.

   There's something underneath this.

   * I came to Japan to study Japanese.

   * Actually I came to Japan so I could learn the culture (language) well enough to interface between American youth and Japanese host families. I can learn Japanese that well, but I'd have to stay here for a while.

   * I don't want to stay here that long away from janette.

   * The only way I'd be (wow the *only* way?) happy here is if I had a girlfriend here. Someone to hug on every day.

   * I don't want to let go of janette to make a girlfriend in Japan an option.

   * BUT, I don't want to leave Japan and not have done cool stuff in Japan.

   * My plan now is to just do some fly things and then leave; get the flock outta here.

   * "some fly things" doesn't help me know when I'm done being here.

   I want to see:

   . Niko (sp) (the place with monkeys north of here (scheduled for mid November with my mom and Jon)

   : Yomiuriland

   ; the haunted house at Fujikyu Highland

   = Climb Mount Fuji (a little bit too late (cold) in the year to do it now)

   3 Hawaii

   Oops, I ran out of Japan things that I want to see.

   Dude. It sounds like I'm interested in getting the flock outta here.

2. Basically I have learned some rudimentary Japanese and learned how to usually successfully navigate the trains in Tokyo.

3. I seem to drive myself harder than I want to drive myself. All in the name of fufilling "doing something for the world."

4. to

5. be

6. continued

8. (not)
