Typhoons, Frizbee, Thesis, Life...

1. So far Japan has been "hit" by 4 typhoons this year. We are in the middle of the fourth as I type this. I only dislike typhoons because they generally mean loads of wind and rain. As many people may know, I don't really like those things in combination. It also means that I develop "yaruki ga nai." Which basically means that I don't really want to do a whole lot. Therefore... boo on the typhoons! ;-)

2. Frizbee. This past weekend was the first time in AGES that it's been really nice at the weekend. And so I went to a park in Yokohama and played frizbee with my boy. :-) We ran around (or rather, I made him run because I'm really NOT very good at frizbee!) and had a blast. There were tons of kids and dogs in the park (gaki to inu) and I some something amazing. For the first time ever I saw and Irish Wolfhound! It was HUGE!!! What a cool dog! I just feel bad because the dog is SO big and back yards don't really exist in Japan. :-(

3. Yes, thesis stuff is quickly becoming something I have to think on, write up and start acting upon! Eeek! I have my thesis presentation in my seminar next week. I have begun writing up what I need to for the presentation, but I have a feeling that it is going to be a bit rough overall. Wish me luck!

4. Life has been hectic and really great all at the same time. The only rather unfun part has been the lack of monetary reserves recently. I'm hoping to be fine on that front soon, but it's still not fun all the same. For awhile I was really on edge and not super happy... and the worst bit was that I didn't have any idea why I was experiencing such a horrible mood swing. When it finally dawned on me that the stress of worrying about money was doing it I felt as though a TON of weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I've got it worked out now and I've been working super hard to keep my daily expenses down. And things seem to be going well now. YAY!!

Well... that's the update... I often wonder as to whether anyone is REALLY reading this... but I keep it up because someday when I'm old and grey I'll look back at the goofiness and smile.
