other than this constant looking forward to my time in japan and home, i have continued walking around gz, and the weather has continued on its streak of fineness. my day is quite routine (i kind of like it...but that's only because i'm waitin' to be all shook up:))--wake up at 8 (i really don't sleep well when i'm in a place by myself, it seems), read war and peace (yeah, tolstoy!! definitely one of those books that i will have to read again because right now, i have to keep flipping back because i can't remember who the characters really are. moves much faster than i thought it would, too), buy breakfast when i have enough resolve to roll out of my warm blankets, and then look for people online. go out around 1 pm and then don't come back until 8-9 that evening, whereupon i collapse, watch a movie, and then do yoga/pilates, chinese style...and i kinda like it like that:) then i read more war and peace until it's bedtime. my life as of right now revolves around the book--should i be worried?:)
