I'm not sure why but I RAN through college. Granted, I did minimal work and hardly attended classes, I managed to pass them all. And thanks to actually paying attention to the minimum graduation requirments and mapping it out ahead of time, like magic I was done in a flash. All great and good, right? Wrong, college was a ball I loved doing so little and just bumming around. I could go out everynight, sleep for 10 hours a day, and could live with my parents with the excuse, HEY It's college!
Granted now that I'm in the JET program now, so I'm not exactly living a real life job. I mean I havn't taught a class in a week, and before that class I hadn't taught a class in a month. I find myself wasting away surfing the internet and skyping. So, why not start a blog! I just troll on others anyhow!
Even with this "work", I still miss those days of going out till 3 am, on wends getting up at 12 then going to school not to actually go to class but just to bum around at the bar! Ahh what memories. My life was like a fantasy, somewhat like a retired person, hell exactly like a retired person but with my youth and vigor availiable to enjoy it!
Now, though I barely work I need to get up in the morning. And since I live alone I find myself having to do laundry, cook my own food, buy said food, then do the dishes. I guess its real life but man does it blow when its biking all the way and its dipping into negative territory and I'm too cheap to buy a better heating source that probably wont kill me in my sleep... Granted I get paid handsomly for my non-work, work. Over 30,000 a year...not including taxes, nor does that include my health insurrance AND my rent is HIGHLY subsidized I pay like 100 dollars a month for RENT! So I basicly shouldnt worry about spending a few bucks on clothes, and warmth but eh. I'm content..but man am I missing the old days!
Well I'll be back in Hawaii at the end of March with tales of COLD, SILLY Japanese students and random people and encounters. And at the very least I'm finnally growing up, because while college was fun and games, it's not something I could do for the rest of my life. Now if only I could find enjoyment in what I'm doing now....

damn random japanese on the page. made me have to think so i could find where to comment on this thing.
oh well, since i have been actually keeping tabs on you this whole time via the aforementioned skype, most of what you are talking about is well known to me, but good to hear you doing well anyway.
keep posting here, at least i'll be reading it, though i would much prefer you actually use the whole webspace thing i got you, since i am paying for it (well its free... so yeah).
