Been Too long
Havn't posted in a very very long time. I'm not sure anyone reads this thing anymore.
Heres the news:
1 - moved back from Japan. It was expensive, living there isn't so bad, but the cost of moving back and forth is huge. I spent at least half of the money I ahd saved just moving back.
2 - Moved into an apartment in kitsilano (this is also very expensive) The rent here is more than twice what I was paying in Japan.
3 - Started my second undergratuate degree. I must be crazy. I've done this once, but I'm going back again...... Have to start a career somehow, and working as a teacher in Japan won't cut it. Its either this or I start working as a lab technician...... Not my idea of a viable option
4 - Got OSAP Yay. Its the only way I can afford to live here.
5 - Got work study job !!! yay more money.....
6 - Going to school, waiting for Mayu to visit, insanely busy. Taking aikido on the side....
7 - Mayu came for a visit. This place felt like home for the first time. Neither of us really like the city :P Makes me feel better. I will stay until I graduate, but afterwards...... Maybe Australia. Close to Japan for Mayu and they have lots of work in my field.
8 - Oh somewhere in the middle I decided not to become a mechanical engineer, I'm going to go into mining :D.
That brings us up to the present. Tomorrow is the last day of classes. Exams are coming, I'm writing the Japanese proficiency test this sunday..... WOW..... So much to study for and so little time. Saturday I'm going to Victoria for an aikido seminar, first one, hopefully it will be prettty good :D. After that I have to get back to Vancouvevr somehow and then to the test downtown on Sunday. Exams are headed my way and in 2 weeks I will be flying back to Toronto. If all goes well, it will suddenly get very cold and I can work at the ski hill over christmas. I need to buy new ski boots..... Its been a long time since I was home. The parents are already in a huff about where I will spend the night...... a waste of energy, they really do hate each other.
Thats the news for the moment, I'm going to study for exams do well, and then go home and work over christmas.
62 days until Mayu arrives.
I wonder if I can leave posts in Japanese.....
