(no subject)
Ranting about tumblr aside, things in Japan have been hectic. Lots of stress at school/in the office. I picked up an extra school. Speech and skit contest is immenient (which means all my extra time is devoted to that). I've been doing a lot of extra stuff for my schools in terms of planning, grading, making English boards that the kids will likely never read.
I'd feel better about the grading if the kids actually used it, but again, screaming endlessly into the void of the Japanese education system.
After visiting home, my depression has been acting up fierce, but it seems to be abating a bit. I've been trying to get back into writing, and use that as an ease-in to studying. Studying Japanese has fallen to the wayside a bit. I can converse a bit, but not well. I'd love to improve that, but finding the time/energy outside of school is hard when I usually have a lot of stuff to do for work when I get home. I maybe need to be better about work/life balance???
My writing is going... a bit better. I've started actively writing for the final fantasy xv fandom. I still have a complicated relationship with the game, but the characters grew on me a great deal, and there was a lot of potential for the things the game skimmed over (especially the ladies, the WoR, Ardyn, Prompto's backstory, and development for any of the characters who wasn't Noctis...) We'll see how long it lasts, I guess.
