I'm a-panicking because I need to straighten out my room before going back to Brunei. I just thought of this... because when I come back to Japan the next Uni semester will be in full swing! (*piiiinch*) And I don't have that many free days leftttttt. (*gasp* and I need to remember to bring my syllabus booklet because I have to register for subjects in late September...)
I have a dinner party on the 30th night - right after my part-time job... (for those who's only heard of this for the first time, I teach English part-time at a place near Hanshin Nishinomiya) and then I'm going shopping on the 31st! I'll probably do most of my last-minute shopping that (actually, this) Sunday. Then I have a lunch date with the girls on Sept 1st and a study session with my extremely reliable study partner, Wakki, the same night. Then I opened up the 2nd for some last minute Spring-ahem-Summer cleaning. I'll be working on the 3rd. Then I have the 4th for some extremely last-minute shopping. Working again on the 5th... and then departuring in the afternoon the next day. Whew.
Which means I have the 31st, 2nd and 4th free. Which is weird. See a pattern? It's every other day. ...Nice!
Oh. And I forgot. There's today too. Well. I'm going to try and straighten out this mess. All my plans for doing some laundry have gone down the drain - it's raining today and probably will stay that way till tomorrow. But. I still need to swing by UniQlo (my faaaavorite store) to see if they have any new selections (I peeked by a branch in Sannomiya and saw that the early Autumn selections are out! So... today I'll be swinging by the Harbourland branch.) It seriously is getting too cool, almost cold for Summer and who know what'll happen once October comes. In anycase. I need new clothes. All my clothes from last Autumn are getting weird stored-in-closet-for-too-long smells. I was hoping to wash those today so see if they're all salvagable, but like I said, the rain put a damper on that.
And I need a haircut too. I haven't had a haircut since May and my hair's grown sooooo long. It's probably 2.5 times the length of what it was Summer 2 years ago (which is normal, of course) but I didn't think it could grow this long... since it was still relatively short in January. Oh. And that awful fringe I had cut in January is gone too. (Thank goodness!) I straightened it, so now all I have to worry about are the roots that are totally curling up on me.
Hair trouble. Clothes. Dinner parties. Lunch dates. What am I? A girl? ^^

On antibodies, FF12 and thunderstorms.
It's been a while since I've posted and I thought to just drop a line on what I've been up to.
First of all, I got my test results - the antibody test, I mean - and I scored a 15.5 (note that the required score was an 8.0 to make sure one is unlikely to catch the measles), so I'm perfectly safe. Good thing I didn't go straight for the vaccination, right? Anyway.
Secondly, 2 weeks ago I started playing FF12 and I've been hooked ever since. I know the game came out in 2006 and I think I had a chance to play it the last time I was back in Brunei... which was, March last year? But I'm only playing it now because I have the Japanese version gathering dust on top of the TV. I didn't work at all between the 10th and 17th (though, I had lunch appointments, study sessions with a friend as also koto lessons) - so the game was basically all that I did. Then I started this 4-days straight work-thing (because one of the other teachers got sick and I had to sub in). It was alright, I thought, but then I felt like I was being set free after that last lesson on Saturday - I even slept till 12 hours straight till noon on Sunday. It felt good, actually. I mean, it is Summer Hols, I would think that sleeping till noon would be my prerogative, as a student... on holiday. Unfortunately that was the first time I've slept till noon all August. And probably the first within the past 2 or 3 months.
Right. Basically, I've been hanging low and just trying not to do too much physical labour these past two weeks. Typical, right? But between all the games I've been playing I've been reading too, so that's like, mental labour right? LoL. Anyways. I'm having an unexpectedly typical holiday of playing games and lazing about not doing anything. (And I kinda feel good about that. ^^)
Oh, and before I leave - the weather has been really really odd lately. Not that I'm happy for the changes, but it is practically cold at night. I went to to take out the trash this morning and the breeze was just absolutely perfectly cool - like it was Autumn already. But, technically, it's not supposed to cool down like this yet. Not yet for at least another month. Last year's Summer was a complete heat wave when compared to this year's. Also, there's been a lot of thunderstorms lately. I remember writing down in the blog at one point 2 years ago when I mentioned that this area only has thunderstorms practically only 2 or 3 times every Summer. That's a big change compared to this year.

Purikura with Ayaka
Ayaka'll be leaving for Maryland University on the 22nd this month and I went off to see her for lunch (the last time for at least a year) today. We went to Kita-senri for lunch and just dawdled for a few hours before she had to go off for her part-time job at this pasta restaurant (^^). We even had time for purikura!
I'm going to miss her! (>.<) We were kinda close last year when she was still in Sakai-sensei's seminar with me. She focused on a different seminar this year so we didn't have that many opportunities to meet - but she was always there and always helpful. She's probably one of the most... 'normal' out of all my wacky friends LoL. The level-headed one.
