Back to the grind
It's back to business as usual now that Golden Week is over. It's a shame I didn't get to go anywhere exciting like my friends - Tokyo, Hiroshima... Living from payment to payment on the JASSO scholarship is a downer, especially when bank holidays get in the way of the schedule; I had to live on rice and furikake for a week!
Not a problem anymore, though. On Friday, the scholarship came in full! I celebrated by treating myself to a yakiniku all-you-can-eat/drink with the guys at ChiFaJa in Nijo, followed by a trip to the shisha bar. It was a pretty fantastic night, if you don't count when Marc fell asleep in the toilets for two hours :D
School assignments are starting to pile on, and I'm not sure if I can write/transliterate a speech in time for the contest. The only way to become more fluent will be to get cracking on it, but I can't let myself fall behind in homework. I've only got Literature tomorrow, fourth period, so that should give me lots of time to slap a few ideas to paper.
"Spring" here is a little rough on the senses. It feels more like July - sweltering days followed by crisp yet humid nights. I've deliberately slowed my movements so I sweat like it's a hobby rather than a job.
Another preparation for summer will be getting a haircut. This time, I'm going to spend a little extra cash - about 3,900 yen - to get a cut from a girl who came to one of my English lessons. The shop seems pretty upscale, so I'm hoping the money doesn't go to waste. Let's see if my Japanese gets me a stylish do or a butcher's nightmare~!
