It rained today

The rain this morning put a damper on my plans. I had wanted to go to school to play some tennis, but you can’t play tennis in the rain, so I decided that it would probably be a waste to go to school. So, I just stayed home and wasted another good day. At least it wasn’t hot today. Oh yeah, just so I don’t forget, I woke up this morning around noon time, which was because of the powerful earthquake that shook a good portion of Japan today. It wasn’t that strong here, but it was a tad bit long. I think I could guess it was at least 15 seconds of shaking. I was still in bed so too tired to be scared or anything. I figured that it wasn’t that strong since nothing was really shaking too bad and I have nothing to fall on me either, so I was ok. Unless my house would collapse, but then I wouldn’t be able to do much about that either.

So, I subsequently just got up and went on the computer. I decided not to talk to anyone today. I needed to send a message to tell my family that I’m still alive and well. I just needed some personal time today. I didn’t do much, but I had a lot on my mind today. I wanted to be able to clear up my mind so I could accomplish the tasks that are ahead of me. I know there are many things that need to be done and I know that I’ve got to get cracking on my learning and doing. The conversation that I had with SEK last night was pretty good and it made me realize what I expect from others and what I expect from myself. I realized that when I take walks, I keep my head down low again. I haven’t done that in a long while, but I guess that I’m not happy about the current situation that I’m in, but I don’t really know how to snap out of it. I’m not depressed, but just bored.

I wanted to get some things done today, but ended up getting nothing done today. I had to eat lunch from something I was given a little while back and that was only a snack. Before I knew it, it was already 7pm. I really didn’t know where 7 hours of my life went to. I just do the usual, like reading mail and checking the news, but I guess that really does take a lot of my time. I did some downloading of some commercials that I thought were hilarious. I like watching commercials and since I lack an effective TV now, I really feel like I only have my computer to rely on to get news and even Japanese to enter my life. I think that tomorrow, rain or shine, I’ll go to school. I need to get some forms and to get to immigration as soon as possible so I could get my health insurance before I go to Thailand, so I might be covered in case anything were to happen, which I doubt. I got an email from CFri last night that gave some more details about where we would stay and things like that. It looked like a really nice hotel and things like that. So we will have a stop over in Hong Kong, so I might not want to go there again, even though I’ll only be in the airport.

There was another plane crash today too. There was one in Venezuela, so I’m a bit tense about flying again. Not that I’m afraid to die or anything, but I still have so much ahead of me that I think it would be a waste. So, just in case I do, I need to make sure that I’m ahead of the game and make sure that if I do go, I could die happy. You know the saying, live like you’re going to die tomorrow; well that’s what I’d like to be doing. I took a little walk to Yoshinoya for dinner tonight. I wanted to save some cash and I needed something cooked fresh. I think that I’m getting tired of the food that I’m eating and I just need something a bit different. But on the way home I picked up some breakfast so that I wouldn’t be hungry again tomorrow. I’ll be going to school so I’ll get a lunch on the way there and then play some tennis tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t be too hot so I don’t die because of heat exhaustion. Then I will meet my friend tomorrow night too. The times conflict, just a little, but I won’t want to be practicing for too long since it’s the first day of summer practice for me and I don’t want to overdo it.
