The End of the World

Right. Updating. That'd probably be a lot easier if my internet at home hadn't decided to go out on a more permanent basis, eh? So here I am, on a Saturday, sitting in the self-study room on campus. I'm at school, because if I was at home, all I'd have to do is homework. What an ironic twist of fate.

Anyway, the last couple of weeks have been pretty uneventful. Not much in the way of getting together with people, though I did have lunch a week or so ago with a couple friends and got to see my first bloody crime scene when we were returning from the cafe. How fun is that, following a meal? Tons, I tell ya! Other than that, it's just been school, homework, school, homework, downloading doc and pdf files of books to avoid homework, then more school and more homework. Luckily I am going to Shinjuku tomorrow and actually doing something, primarily spending money I don't have on clothes that don't look half as good on me as they do on Japanese women. Then Monday is another busy day of reading more than I should because I still haven't done my homework. Wee!

As a side note about Japanese men/women/relationshis between the two... I've kind of wavered about trying to integrate somewhat by taking a bit more of a feminine role or image. I've already talked about fashion and guys, and I don't want to and don't plan to compromise myself to appeal to men or fit in with women, but like I said... I'm here, do as the Romans do or somethin', right? That stress on top of just trying to adjust is driving me nuts lately. It's hard to believe it's already been a month, but maybe I'll just have to tough it out to get to that famous 3 Month Mark, eh? Well... Ugh. I should probably skidaddle, I've got to get home for dinner time (oi), and then go drown myself in more reading. Helluva way to spend my 4 day weekend hah.

I remember you asking me about the infamous 3 month mark, I'm not sure if it's a real thing or just something in our heads.

Other than that, you MUST tell me more about the bloody crime scene! I didn't even know they had anything that even resembled a crime scene in Japan, let alone a bloody one!
