music: Ryan Adams Had another rough week. possibly my worst. I was horribly depressed. There was a day when I didn’t have any classes until 4:30 and I spent the entire morning colouring props and crying in my classroom. Im not a big fan of my city. Its just so not what I was expecting when I thought of moving to Japan. And it was like even when I was okay, when I was happy, I still would rather be at home. and im very very homesick. Its funny, I totally thought I wouldn’t feel like this. But holy hell its lonely during the week. The good thing is, like I said before, I love teaching. I have the greatest, cutest, sweetest students. They make me laugh and are so much fun to teach. Like that day when I cried all morning, as soon as I started teaching, I was in a good mood. they make me happy, so that’s a good thing, I at least love my job. I had a good weekend. Saturday night after work mike and I went out for dinner, Yaki niku, which is when they give you all raw meat and veggies and you fry them on your table. it was really good but super greasy. I felt hella guilty afterwards. I went to visit Kanika yesterday in her city. Its super cool, much more city like than Okazaki, I’m kinda jealous. she also has a starbucks down the street which would be heaven for me. Oh and I broke my coffee pot this week, so my life is basically over because my morning coffee was sooo what I look forward to when I wake up. Anyways, Kanika showed me around the cool stores and shops in her area, then we spent the night watching say anything and the OC, she even got me a bottle of wine, and it was super sweet. I love being able to have my girl time. We sat around and talked about boys and I am so lucky I’m able to do that with her. She’s coming up here this weekend, which I’m looking forward to. Today I bought more things for my apartment, and its really starting to come along. Kanika inspired me that you need to make your place somewhere you really enjoy being in, then you don’t get sad when you’re alone there. So today I cleaned the shit out of my apartment and decorated. Now I’m dying my hair. Anyways, I explored the mall that my grocery store and dollar store are in and found this killer little independent record store where I bought a shins cd and a ryan adams cd. It also has a ton of vinyl. If I can find a cheap second hand record player, I’m sooo getting it. I don’t know how I’d take it back, but if its cheap enough then it doesn’t matter. I know I need to get a bike soon so I can explore my city more and find more cool things.
Im going to try to go for a run tomorrow morning. I really need to get back into running. It makes me feel sooo good. Im hoping when I drag my ass out of bed I’ll be able to convince myself to go, because I soooo need it. I got this killer leopard print rug for my place and it looks so sick. And a nice big picture of marilyn for my wall. I need another couple big pictures, and some lanterns to hang. Im going to try to do more this week. Like after work, go explore the other mall that is open later. I need to do things like that or I will go insane.
