I wonder what it is... :\
meh~
picked up painting... acrylics are fun to work with! I wish I had the space to set up an easel and all that nerdy stuff... but alas, I must live w/ the 'rents until my bills are paid... BLEH. I seriously considered moving out for the last month until I looked at how much of my school loans and stuff I had left. I didn't do anything in Korea! I just spent all my money on like... random crap. Like a cheese grater. I don't even have a cheese grater in the States! (actually, I bought two so that makes it worse) But then again, they weren't that expensive... but I also bought a lot of other useless junk. *sigh*~
Oh well. At least now that I'm getting paid more, I can actually REALLY start paying off all my loans.
I realized as of late how backwards I am. I've been living with my parents to cut down on living expenses, but I end up eating out or making my own food. I suppose the only upside is that I don't pay rent. If rent was like $200-300 (I really don't think I'll be able to find a place that cheap though -_-;;) then I think I'd move out. *sigh*~ alas, that is just a dream though.

Japan and my new job
So I'm like really behind on this blog... not that I'm really keeping track but since I said I'd update on my trip to Japan, I'll keep it short and sweet (if I can).
On my way to Japan, I went snowboarding at one of the more famous ski resorts in Korea. On the first run, I broke a rib. I don't think it was all that serious, but they couldn't see whether or not it was really broken because my spine was in the way. I asked the doctor if I'd still be able to go to Japan and he said yes and prescribed some painkillers for me. :)
It was hard moving around too much so I took it easy. I had this entire itinerary planned but some of my plans fell through due to some poor planning (I didn't check what time the last boat left) so it was interesting.... I took an overnight boat to Fukuoka, didn't get to see much because of my injury, went to a hot springs twice (which helped a lot) and on my last night decided to go out. Found a random bar that just happened to be the last day before it shut down. Made some new friends then called it a day. (I still need to email them...)
Wished I had done more sightseeing but I dunno just chilling in the area was nice too. Tried to go to some famous temple but I had read the map wrong and was on the other side of the station.. -_-;; Meh~ All in all, I found it to be a good trip even though I didn't see much. Met some interesting people and got to experience hostel life (which was very nice btw).
I definitely want to move to Japan but I dunno, we'll see how my life plan works out. I think I'm going to try to make it happen soon. ^_^
Ok so that aside, I finally started working in the beginning of February and I really like my job. I work for the corporate office of an English academy and we're working on a vocabulary project/dictionary and all this curriculum stuff. I've been working long hours though but it's been helping me keep a regular schedule.
I've been getting restless though because I haven't been exercising. I'm probably going to start soon... hopefully. If I can find the time. ^_^
I might move out (I feel like I go through this every so often) but I'm going to aim for June 1st. We'll see how it actually works out though.
