I am surviving. Reading back over my blog reminds me of the nice things that I do in Japan. It's easy to forget them when I am drowning in work. I spend most of my time working really hard and the rest of the time feeling guilty that I should be working on something. When will this cycle ever end? Once the book is finished maybe? But I actually like working on that, but it's always last on my list after admin-type tasks.
So, I must record more nice things in Japan on this blog. Last weekend we enjoyed a lovely hike in Tanzawa followed by a hot hot onsen and bowl of soba noodles. Hiking is still my favourite thing to do in Japan.
I'm trying to decided whether to take a class at Temple University again this semester. I am already busy, but one night a week doesn't make that much difference. I like going into Tokyo once a week and getting to know new people. There are some psychology classes that look quite interesting. I have a few weeks to decide.
