Well, I didn't go to Kamakura last weekend, I ended up having a lovely day with my girlfriend shopping. We bought stuff for Skype and a few presents for friends and family back in the States. Time spent with her is better than time spent alone, I think. As we were testing Skype, she said that she thinks she will be okay if we can communicate like this. It was good to hear.
Today I had my last private English lesson with Kentarou. It was a pleasant 3 or so months working with him, and I think I taught him a thing or two. Funny, at first I didn't like him. I used to think I was a great judge of character, until I realized how many times I was wrong about people.
I have a speech and a school newspaper article to write. Plus I want to prepare some closing remarks for the graduation ceremony, in case we non-returnees are asked to speak, as was the case this time last year. Our tests have already started, and I have finally gotten used to taking them. I have discovered that studying is indeed a helpful tool.
I want the waiting to be over. I don't want to go, but this countdown is making me mental.
