Or something to that effect. So several thousands of dollars and 4 years later I emerge from the fiery pit of southern Indiana with a diploma in my pink little fist and am ready to step out into the world…problem is Japan doesn't want me. It would seem that my greatest error was my failure to really pick a second major or specialized skill because it seems that theres no way to really gain focus without it..and the Japanese don't know what to do with me either.
So it seems Im going back to school for one more year with one crucial difference: this time I’m paying for it. Look out keio gijuku daigaku. I have this one meeting on Monday with an interesting lawyer who works in immigration law between J and bei here and hes sort of my last life line for a real job out in Tokyo. After a lot of poking and prodding around I think I am interested in pursuing this law thing. At the same time, before any more real school I believe its time for a well deserved rest. And to that end, July 18th JPN here I come. I know you are all excited to see me so do give a ring. Or email. Whatever~
Outside of that far off prospect I have spent my summer daze in a whirl of early afternoons jogging out under the intense heat. I never thought I could get into something so banal and mechanical as running but it really can take ahold of you. Its mostly lukes doing, all it took was a little advice from mr jogging himself (that is, breathe in 3, out 4) to change from not being able to run a mile comfortably to pushing through 4 or 5 without too much pain at all. And looking at myself it's a good thing I started. Ive always been kinda massive and meaty in the upperbody (which isn’t to say ripped) and it's the only place on me that can gather fat). I like being done working out, working myself into a really satisfyingly tense splits on the living room carpet and just breathing and letting my heart rate go down….hope I can continue it in Japan. For the moment I don't have anything else cool to babble about…I found out how to use my hips in flares today..maybe I can get them afterall!
