Not Much to Say...

Unfortunately there hasn't been much happening since Friday. I went window-shopping in Kyoto Station on Saturday with a light jacket while it snowed (it was quite warm when I left the house, thank you, I'm not completely crazy). I spent Sunday sleeping most of the day because I had a really bad sore throat, but I spent two hours out of the house anyway because I just couldn't stand it. Monday, Tuesday, and Today have all been spent on homework, and I suspect Thursday will be the same. Monday night, though, I did go out and have myself some wonderful indian food (Chicken Masala, pomegranate lassi, naan, etc).

Sorry for the dull, dull post. I officially dropped one of my classes so I am down to 14 hours and the workload is now bearable. Most of this week has been spent on work for class. For Peace, Developement and Democratization, I have been doing lots of research on Burma. For Issues in Contemporary Japan, I've got another presentation/paper thing to do, and I've been thinking about Disabilities in Japan or Elderly in Japan (since they sort-of overlap). For Visual Anthropology, I actually did not go to class on Monday because we were watching a film called Neighborhood Tokyo which I have seen numerous times and didn't think I could possibly sit through it again without going insane. Our big project for that class is the blog (shameless plug).

This weekend, I intend to sleep in and not do much so as to help with my being tired all the time, and I now have a very large new book to read that I shall endeavor to not begin reading until Saturday, and then do the typical Amanda thing of "drop everything and read non-stop until the book is finished." Oh, and church would be nice.

Hi Amanda,

I couldn't get the link to the blog to open....

I LOVE the idea of the disability and/or elderly in Japan. I would love to study that!!! Sounds interesting.

Miss and love you!!!
