Neck ties are the devil's sartorial accessory
I get to stop wearing a tie every day starting next week, so that's awesome. shoulda worn short a short sleeve today, though, cause it's already like 20 degrees with 88% humidity and it's just after 9am. Meh, so it goes. This week has been fuckin hard. I skipped out on English club yesterday cause I had 5 classes and was just exhausted, and that's supposed to be my easy day of the week with usually only 2 or 3 classes max. Had 4 classes wednesday, 5 tuesday, can't even remember all the way back to monday, tbh. Had to skip basketball this week, too. LAME. Today is test day, though, so I have these first 2 period off, then 3 classes (which I'm already prepped for). Thank the gods it's friday, though. I went to sleep on tuesday thinking it'd be my normal after-school tuesday nap (I always nap on tuesdays cause it's my elementary school day. I often nap other days, but always on tuesdays) which lasts usually 45 minutes or so. I woke up just over 3 hours later. I blame the stomach thing I had.
Anyway, golden week was fun. Our plans were kinda all over the place but we ended up going to Nagoya, which was cool. Had by far the strangest night in Japan, possibly in all of my post-collegiate life so far. I won't talk about it here, though, maybe in a locked post. Let's just say it ended in a fight between two random guys we were hanging out with, both of whom were on vastly different drugs, and we named one of 'em kung fu john cause his name was john and he started doing all this kung fu shit that just looked ridiculous, even aside from teh fact that it was coming from an overweight middle aged man.
The highlight of the trip was BY FAR the stop in at The Hard Rock Cafe. We wandered around for like a half hour lookin for it, but we finally found it and my gods did heavenly joy ensue. I got a bleu cheese burger and it was easily the best burger I've had in over a year, 1400 yen or not, I don't care, it was glorious. We ended up dropping about $100 on food and margaritas, totally worth it. Wouldn't do it all the time, mind, but I just needed to bask in the glory of a real hamburger once again.
The weeks since have been tough, but not terribly so. I've just been tired. I got a stomach bug the last week or so, probably cause we went a bit overboard at the club last weekend, so I've been taking it easy since.
Anyway, that's my update. I do have news though:
I'm coming home in August!
I don't have exact dates yet, but it'll be around the 3rd to around the 25th or so. I'm looking forward to it quite terribly. I miss my brain not having to strain simply to understand half of what people are trying to tell me, and I miss mexican food. It'll be a good vacation (^-^)b
