I have a job ^^
But before that, I weigh 123lbs !!! It's amazing. I always thought if I weighed this little I'd be anorexic, but truth be told I still have ass and flub that I'm working on. And I'm not dieting... I mean I'm snacking less, and I'm sorta following the banana diet whenever I have bananas in the house. But I'm not really eating any differently besides that I try to eat smaller portions and have my rice cooker set so I can eat as soon as I get home instead of having to wait for it to cook and not eating until like 10 o'clock. But I ride my bike and walk a lot of places so that probably helps.

Now for the important stuff.
I have a job. I interviewed for one in Gifu (the neighboring prefecture) and one in Tokyo. Both were unsure due to my lack of experience but liked that I was upfront about the problems I have with my manager now and appreciated that I was honest about them. The one in Gifu was my preference because it wouldn't involve moving that far but the owner still hadn't made a decision by the time I was offered the one in Tokyo and they wanted a decision so I went with them. Now that I'm thinking about it part of me is really excited to move to Tokyo, though part of me is still sad to leave my friends here.
Next weekend I go up to Tokyo to go apartment hunting. I already have several appointments and am dreading the total cost after Deposit + Key Money + Finders fee which vary by location. If I can get them to let me pay one or two months of that on my next paycheck it might work otherwise at the moment I only have about 1800 and depending on what property I find it could go up to about 3000 for everything + first month's rent.
After that of course I still have things to figure out like how and when to move my stuff and how to move my cat. But atleast it's a start, and it's nice knowing I have a job.
Am considering going home for a week in August to visit as it's like I might as well + the fact that I found really cheap airfare to Toronto.
