At a friend's house

I haven't been sleeping well lately. I can't sleep till it hits 2am and I constantly wake up at 6am. Now, to compensate (and probably worsen) this state of sleeplessness, I've been sleeping in the afternoon too. Which is just... well. Let's just say I stopped my napping habits when I moved to Japan so this past week has been a little strange. And I've been having these constant nosebleeds too. I'm probably going to go check in at a clinic and a pharmacy soon to fix my nose and get sleeping pills. I wonder if it's the holidays that's making all this trouble.

I made plans to stay at Nazuna's house in Fukui-ken for a few days and that's where I am now. I arrived here yesterday at noon after a 2 and a half hour train trip. This place is faaaaaaar from Kobe. But I love her house! It's a lodge. Or at least, I think it's like a lodge. There's trees all around us. She has a creek! The entire feeling is rustic and so to me, it's like a holiday retreat. But this is where she lives! It's amazing and so beautiful! I totally love her house!

They have a terrace with a place to eat outside and that's where we had our lunch. It was incredibly rustic-like (without the barbecue stand hahaha). We went around to look at the port that's so well-known around here. And we had tea out with her mother. This mother-daughter pair are amazing! They are so close, it's like they're joined at the hip!

Dinner that night was amazing too. We had dinner at her house with her parents and her elder brother and I swear it lasted at the very least 3 hours because we were continuously talking. Mostly it was about stuff going on around the university but we had a really nice discussion-session going on.

I slept at 1am last night, which is much better than the past week. I woke up nearly falling out of the bed at 9.30am today because of Adeline's sudden email (LoL). That's not the funny thing though - I'm surprised that the shock I got this morning from almost falling didn't wake me up. Rather I feel even more dull and out of it. I'd just finished a lengthy breakfast when we decided we'd go to watch Kimura Takuya's new movie, Hero, this afternoon. I hope I'll be able to understand the movie.

Well that's about it for today. Later then!
