Not through violence, but through the word alone

My eyes are burning

And I don't know why. I haven't been looking at screens so much lately. It's just that every time I wake up, my eyes feel dry and I'm not sure how. Maybe I need to start seriously thinking about getting that air moisturiser-machine (what do you actually call it?).

So. My exams start next week and I've been super busy. (Sorry for not calling home recently!) I don't know if this is good or bad but I started reading this japanese novel last week and got so hooked that I kind of left a lot of things for later. I've already finished that novel so I'm no longer in any danger but I'm still wondering what made me so driven to read that novel.

In any case. I haven't been feeling too well lately. There was a little hail in Kobe last week and the days just keep getting colder and colder. I need to send out my wool clothes out for dry cleaning before I use them though. I'm trying to walk more outdoors (besides my regular grocery trips and walking to school everyday) and hope it'll help with my health more. The colder it gets, the less I usually go out, and the more I get ill. That's what usually happens every January. So far so good this year. Beside my New Year's cold, I haven't gotten sick much at all.

And, I've finally signed up at the gym! Registration fees were free until January 15th so I signed up early! (Though, I'll only actually start on February the 1st) There's something to do during the coming holidays. Not that I won't be busy enough will my school trips.


I basically will have 2 trips in February. One unofficial group trip for the people in my Seminar to Himeji (one hour from Kobe by JR新快速 I think) and one more in the last week of February, an official trip to Tokyo (apparently funded by the University). I'll probably post some more details afterwards.

Right now, I have to run again. I have a presentation next period (most likely my last for this semester! Yay!)
