Seriously. How is anybody supposed to feel good in this kind of weather? It's Summer (okay, so technically it's the rainy season BUT), it's almost freezing outside! My hair-do is not springing to life today, it's actually very tame, because of the cool humidity (as opposed to it being hot and humid). I can almost imagine the air today forming clouds on the ground and start raining on my feet. It's that bad.
To make things worse I've been having this sore throat as well as these nose bleeds which is usually the case before I get a really long drawn out cold. I was thinking of taking a really nice break this weekend, then I remembered these 4 reports I have to hand in exactly a week! I've been putting them off for a while because I've been working on another presentation that's coming up but now....
In any case. I've dug my own grave so all I can do really is carve out some steps so I can climb back out.
I've been going down to Sannomiya these weekends to get some English magazines like Newsweek and Scientific American. It made me realise how out of touch I've been with the rest of the world. What a failing for a Cross-cultural Studies student. I think I might have to get that journal I saw about the American Foreign Policy since it seems one of my exams will be partially about that. I just can't read any information they have here in the library. Oh they have enough for the Japanese students but I just don't get any of the books they have in the English section.
Then again some of the better books that I've seen aren't even here, they're in the Economics Faculty and the Faculty of Letters. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place?
Even so. Well I did know what I was getting into when I decided to come to Japan, didn't I? Trying to not depend on English is tougher than I thought it would be.
