Good news! I signed up to get internet at my apartment today. It is one of the faster types available, and doesn`t cost much more than the really slow one (around ￥4300 per month total). The bad news? It`ll be 3 weeks before they can install it. *queue Zelda dying scene* Ah, well, at least there is a date in sight, right? It`s been a month now, what`s 3 more weeks?
In other news, I have a 3 day weekend!!!Because I spent all of last weekend at Prefectural Orientation (English Camp and Awa Odori), I got two days of "daikyu", or compensation days off. This month is the best time to use them, as school is not yet in to use them, as school is not yet in session, so I`ve decided to have two 3 day weekends in a row, and one 3 day week. Sounds cushy, and one 3 day week. Sounds cushy, no? Now I have to find something to do with all that time! Maybe watch an anime that`s on my harddrive, or bike out to Naruto and get a glimpse of the whirlpools, or scour Tokushima city for signs of a church, or work ahead on Christmas presents. There is always something to do. The difference here is that there is rarely anything that must be done. What a sweet break from the 4 year hustle I played during college.
The weekend after next sounds promising, though, with a JET beach party in the works. It is a ways away, but I may be able to is a ways away, but I may be able to carpool with others going and split the gas money. Still have yet to see if I`ll go, though...
Shirohama Beach
Still working on getting a cell phone. I chose Softbank in the end after all, since there doesn`t seem to be one best company. And, of course, their ads are adorable. (just type Softbank into Youtube and look for the white dog!) So maybe next week I`ll have my own keitai, and be that much more contactable.
Hm, I feel like I`ve been cranking out so many letters in the past couple weeks that I`m not sure what else to say! As always, please continue to tell me about your lives and what`s been going on at home. Every time I write the 553** zipcode (or 68122) I feel a little pang of nostalgia for all of you. Hope things are going well!
