Sunburnt Again

Tuesday being Showa no Hi, a beautiful day, and a day in which I didn't have any plans, I did the exact opposite of what I should have been doing and did not work on my 15 minute presentation due today (I did that Wednesday morning, thank you). I instead spent the day of no class enjoying the sunshine--a bit too much.

Near my house, there is a river that you can walk down to (most rivers in Japan are banked just so to keep people from enjoying them) and so that's where I spent the better half of my morning, watching the local kids catch insects and fish. They weren't very good at it and eventually moved up the river. I was reminded of catching crawdads in Kingsport, but no such thing exists in Japan. Not crawdads, anwyay. I miss crawdads. And scaring the sister with them. Me? Evil? Naaaah.

Then I went and biked all the way to Kuzuha because it was just too beautiful a day to spend indoors (and remember, I was against spending money this weekend), so biking and exploring sounded like a great idea at the time. Not after the sunburn though.

So this week, the goal is NOT to get a sunburn but still have fun. Which, with my evil skin, I doubt that's going to work, but I'll at least try.
