So much to tell......
So life is Japan is a lot harder than I thought. Maybe. I have seen some really cool things and developed some pretty good relationships with people, but they are not my friends at home. I have to worry about being able to trust them or am I safe when we go out and things like that. Its a little weird to have to be in that situation all over again, but I guess its okay as long as I stay focused on the reason I am here.
Its so hard because all I want to do right now is talk to people from home and tell them how much I love this country. Not just through emails, but in person. Now comes the real test of strength for me because this is the longest I have been overseas without coming home. I am trying to make it, but I just need to talk to Mary & My Sister. Oh I miss them so much, I miss hearing them tell me don't worry about it or just chill out. You never realize how much you really love someone until you are separated and it seems like 1,000 years before we will be together again. Anyway, I will manage at least enough so that I don't come home on the next flight, but I will keep calling until they answer.
So let's see...... I wake up and look at a beautiful mountain range every morning outside my window. I go to a job that is so easy I could do it in my sleep and I visit different places on my days off. I have been going to Biwako almost every weekend so that I can enjoy it before it gets cold. Temples & shrines will be there in the winter, but the beach will not. I am going to the Ninja village on Friday and a BBQ on the beach on Thursday. I fucked around a little bit when I first got here, but at the moment there isn't anyone who strikes my interest. Which is a great thing. Boys complicate things way toooooo much. I have been partying a lot and I think I may have developed a drinking problem? I am not sure, but I do go out at least 4 days a week and get tipsy, but not totally smashed. I am feeling a little bit down right now so I am drowning my sorrows in a pint a beer, but I don't think it will continue once I have some balance. I am trying to have dinner every Monday with some good friends of mine, plus I am starting to work out every morning before I go to work. Hopefully that will help me chill out a bit more and lay off the drink. I think i need to join the gym and do the step classes they give. Dancing always takes the edge off. Or maybe I will start choreographing again.

Oh I applied to work in Japanese middle schools so I hope I get the job. Keep me in your prayers on that one I will need them. I feel better already.
