Manic Monday

No, I'm not actually but I'm still in a bit of a funk from Saturday.  The redness of my eyes is finally starting to go down, though they still feel sandpapery no matter how many eye drops I put in them. >.> 

Work was boring.  Kaneko is teaching the Araragi kids English this year.  Actually... I kind of think that's a good idea.  He can go as slow as he needs to and it doesn't matter so greatly if they go off course.  3 of the 4 are really bright--the 4th came in late so I don't know about him.  Otherwise I made a handout for Imai-sensei and read some fic that I had emailed myself.  And got my ankles raped by mosquitos. :X  I'm sorry Lydia, I haven't gotten through the first installment yet.  I want to get into it, I know I like it but I can't read it for long stretches.  What's wrong with me?!  The schedule today was all fucked up and no one told me.  It didn't really matter since I didn't have classes but it would have been nice to be included in the loop.

Wow, I haven't heard this song in ages.  I wish Nine Days had made a second album.  I should go through my music folder and purge shit I don't like/don't listen to anymore.  That would free up space, I'm sure.

I got my pay stub in the mail today.  This month is going to be fucking tight.  I thought I was getting more.  Or what I was getting felt like more?  After taxes it's only about $950.  I have savings but I don't like to be that tight.  I'm already off to a bad start this fiscal month with two trips to Tokyo and a laser appointment.  I'm also going to look at picking up a new back pack tomorrow.  My messenger bag is wrecking my shoulders with the weight I have to carry to work and my other back pack is too big.  I'm expecting to pay 5,000 yen for that.  Plus dinner with Andrew tomorrow and Kumiko on Saturday.  Sigh...  Damn!  I really miss my extra income from Keigo's lessons.  I should Yuuko a line and say hello.

I finally got a letter from Kevin!  After 6 months, all I get is 1 page.  But I guess when all you've been doing is studying your ass off and writing a thesis, there isn't much to report.  I wrote a reply already and want to add some pictures.  I've realized that those printing machines from Bic Camera are real shit.  There's a print shop on the first floor of Station Mall, next to Starbucks.  Maybe I should check that place out, though it'll probably cost a little bit more.  He wants to see the cherry blossoms.
