Well, it has been a long, long weekend. I moved into my own place Friday to find it already fully furnished (sweet) and infested with giant roached (err...). As of today I have sent four roaches to hell, with the intend of next hunting down the one that fell into my hair last night.
I know it sounds very negative, but I'm having fun here.
Kind of.
I'll admit that this weekend was one of the hardest weekends of my life. I was sent into hysterical crying spells at the smallest things:watching a special about New York, hearing "You've Got a Friend In Me", smelling my Dad's collgune in a store. Hell, even getting rickrolled at a train station caused my lip to quiver.
When you have no internet and only seven channels on your tv it gives you a lot of time to think...and that isn't good. I wondered if I could do this -- really do this. Sure I can speak Japanese and I can prolly teach a decent enough lesson, but could I make friends and abate boredom for the next 360 days (oh yes, I was counting the days a lot during my depressing weekend).
As of right now, I have no answer. I managed to do some really cool things the last few days (get drunk in Tokyo, get a new cell phone, open up my own Japanese bank account), and my house is quite nice (besides my house being some kind of 'Joe's Apartment' homage). The other day I took a train ride around the country side and saw some beautiful sights -- mountains covered in clouds, vallies, monks leading a prayer up a mountain.
Who knows where the future will take me, but I know this: life with basic cable and no internet is really hard.
