Halfway

Well, we are halfway through the semester. It's strange, as here I don't hear much about midterms and such, and so I actually had to count up the weeks remaining to find out that I've got 8 weeks left. EIGHT! Yeah! And, to sweeten things up just a little, I don't teach the kids this Saturday AND I've got Monday off (school holiday; when the school was founded), which means I've got five days off in a row! Yeah! I think I may visit my friend up in Shizuoka (the prefecture which is home to Mount Fuji), and then spend a few days rock climbing.

The last two weeks have been fine, if very normal. Work, studying Japanese, exercising, reading, watching movies, rock climbing, aikido, and a bit of hanging out with friends........In spite of the majority of that list being made up of leisure activities, I DO work, and it DOES take up quite a bit of time. I just have a lot of time left over...the benefit of being single with no kids.

Short as that is, that's it!
