Turning Japanese.

Why oh why can I not learn japanese faster? I ask you?! I mean honestly. How difficult can it be? Ha ha. Kidding. But I am feeling the frustration. I came to Japan because I thought it would be great and it is so we've decided to stay here and make Tokyo our base but frickin' hell! The language! I know people who came here and could speak good japanese within a year. I can speak useless japanese. Need to know how to say "He is kicking the ball" in japanese then I'm your girl. But really, who needs to say that?! Gaaah!

So anyway, I've decided to go full time at Nova (provided that all goes well) and save up the money to go to japanese school. Not random conversation lessons but serious japanese school. University prep type school. How will I do that and continue to work you ask? I'll jump off that particular bridge when I come to it thank you very much. In the meantime I'll continue with my sissy lessons. "They are paddling a canoe". I'm there.

Meanwhile, Kohsuke and I are going out with a bunch of people he works with on Friday so I'll be able to astonish them with my swanky japanese skills. Once I've had a beer or two. I'm alittle nervous about speaking the japanese to actual japanese people. Makes me feel all twitchy and not in a good way.

I must go and mope around feeling sorry for myself for awhile and then do some studying before I haul my sorry ass off to work so...bye!

Oh my GOD! So you're going to go full time? FULL TIME? I can't believe it! Can you imagine the extra sharing and caring that we'll do? I can't wait!

I CAN'T!

I can't breath! Need air! Why!
