Busy Times

I have been so busy recently and haven't really had time to let you all know what I've been up to. So here goes....

I've been working for a local politician for about 2 months on a temporary basis. My contract is up at the end of June but I might be staying on for another month to help out. I had applied for the permanent job but decided to withdraw from it.....it's a very long story.

Haruji came to visit for a few weeks. It was great to see him but I was so tired when he left. My brain was tired from speaking Japanese so much. I have some more pictures to put up here soon...maybe with this post...lol

Life has been revolving around politics recently and it is really quite suffocating. I need to take a break soon!

I have been dating someone for a few months now and it is going well. My ex and I split on good terms so thats ok, we still talk sometimes but I have moved on. Realism is definately something I have learned.

I am planning a trip with my sister to a book convention in New Orleans in October...sounds so nerdy!!!! Might go to Japan or Hong Kong before that though. I really miss Asia :(

Anyway, hope to talk to you all soon. XOXOXO

Visitor

Hey Everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I have been uber busy recently. Not only is work busy but I have loads of other things to do.

To add to that Haruji has been visiting and I haven't been able to get any time off work. So, my dad has been looking after him during the day and I have been taking him out for dinner at night. Here are a gew pics for you to see.
