A nice cool day

Today was actually pretty cool. It would have been a nice day to play some tennis, but too bad I woke up late and couldn’t make it. Actually I woke up on time, but since I slept so late, I didn’t have the energy to get up. I haven’t been eating that much lately so I’m very weak in the morning. So I just went back to sleep. I set the alarm for really early, like around 6:30am because practice starts at 9am, but I just couldn’t do it. I’ll have to try again tomorrow.

So what did I do for the rest of the day? I stayed at the computer, that’s what I did. Today I was being a bit more productive with my goals for the summer. I have restarted to blog the correct way and filing them in order since I’ve been in Japan. That way I have a good collection for when I want to refer back to something. I’m going to be using my Blogger accounts now, so I’ll be in the process of updating both at the same time. I’m about 3 months into the first year of my Japanese trip so far. I still have a few more months to go to get everything in order. I haven’t included the links to my pictures yet, but I will add those on tonight to make sure that everything is ready for release.

I did a bit more cleaning of my room, basically killing bugs and removing areas where they grow. But I didn’t make too much progress in that area. I was also talking to some of my friends today. There is one of my friends that continue talking about something that I really wouldn’t want to get myself involved with. But being a good friend that I am, I just listened. I know that she doesn’t want to talk about it either, but it just bothers her. We talked about it a lot when she came here and stayed with me last month, but things have gotten worse for her since she went back to the States. She informed me that my ex got back with her ex like a few days after they had told me that they had broken up. I guess that they are miserable without each other and they are miserable with each other so might as well be with each other. I’m a bit tired of them and their troubles and how it has affected me. But from now on, actually even from before, I’ve dropped all of them like a rock. They are out of my life and that’s that!

I was also talking to another friend of mine, whose birthday was yesterday. I usually only talk to her like once or twice a year, so I guess this year I’m making progress since I think it’s the third time this year. We talked for a little bit, but then she just left suddenly. I did a lot of e-mail shifting today too. I needed to get everything organized enough for me to not go insane. I think that I’ve managed to get a dent into all the work that I want.

I also started thinking about what I’m going to do for my special Saturday classes. I think I’ll begin to teach her things that she wants through a project that I’m going to design for her. I’ll teach the ideas, and she’s going to have to be able to use them practically. It’ll be an all semester project that she’s going to have to pass each step or we can’t move on. So the problem that I face is if she can’t pass a level. But I think she’ll be interested in it since I know what she wants to learn. I also gave myself a haircut tonight. I didn’t think I did a bad job either. I think that I’m getting better at it because in Japan it’s much different than when I was doing it in San Diego. I don’t have as many mirrors to help me and the lighting isn’t that great either.
