I'm working my part time job, getting ready for school, and studying lots of Japanese. That's about all I have time for. I haven't been too social, meeting friends for an hour or so here and there. My sleep schedule is still a little screwy, but I get up at about 6:30 so I can be ready to skype with my girlfriend at seven-thirty.
I miss her. The last 3 months I was in Japan, I lived really close to her, so we would take the same crowded morning train into Tokyo. We couldn't really talk, but we were next to each other, holding hands every morning for 30 minutes. The last few weeks, that time became sacred to me, I used to frantically ride my bike to the station to make that 7:26 Express. Now we can talk, but we are miles apart. さみしいなあ。
