Really tired.

I am so tired. Hence the title. But seriously, this has got to be the worst time of year for me. It's getting toward the end of the really hot season and it's becoming a lot more reasonable as far as the temperature goes but it's still sticky and it feels like I'm trying to walk through warm pudding everytime I go outside. And I'm just so tired. It's just not just me I guess...many of my students complain of the same general feelings. Ennui, malaise (sp?), blah. You know. No energy, no excitment, just blah. I hate it.

As some of you know I've applied to go full time at Nova toward the end of October. More cause for blah. I've also been going for interviews with other schools because you never know what might come up right? But I have to say, it's been mighty hard hauling my sorry butt around Tokyo for these interviews what with the pudding and the blah. So far I haven't found anything that floats my boat but I'm still looking.

I was looking for a 9-5 type job rather than the wacky Nova hours but it's recently occurred to me that there's not much point. I want better hours so I can come home and eat dinner and go to bed at a normal hour but Kohsuke will still have his ridiculous job so nothing will be different except that I'll get less sleep because I'll still be waiting up for him and going to bed around 1 or 2 but I'll have to get up around 7 instead of 10. It's frustrating.

I'm sorry this post isn't so much with the entertainment but I was feeling the urge to share. Because I'm just a sharing kind of girl.

Speaking of which, let me share one of the big reasons for my overwhelming blahness...I now know the text at Nova so well that I can recite from memory. How much space in the sad old brain is that taking up?!

Level 6
Unit 31
So Am I.

I'm taking my vacation next month.
So am I.
I need a change.
So do I. I'm tired of the same people and the same office everyday.
Where are you going?
The Dominican Republic.
Really? So am I.
We always go to the Dominican Republic. But we never go to La Romana. There are too many Americans there.
Neither do I.
Where exactly are you going?
Sosua. It's a little town on the north coast.
You're joking!
No I'm not. I've been there three times.
So have we!

And so on. Some of the we's and I's may have gotten a bit mixed up but you get the idea.

And that's not the only one I've got. But you can just take my word for it. Unless you really want me to type some more. Because I've got all the time in the world. I may fall asleep though. I'm just like that these days.

Will I have to stab myself in the eye?
- In the eye? Of course you will. And you'll have to scream silently into your pillow every night too.
