6.43 fortnights later...

It's been exactly (almost) 3 months since I left Vancouver for Japanesier pastures. I will say that I am officially one month behind schedule, in terms of having a full-time job and living on my own. I feel like I'm in purgatory: I've made the trip, but can't really get that final boost to get me into "heaven" (or..."hell"). I've been in the same position for the last two months. Of course, April wasn't the most opportune time to start looking for work in Japan, as March and August are the big recruitment months for the respective April and September semesters. Nonetheless, if I did indeed arrive a month late, then maybe I'm just 5 months early for the Fall semester.

I must say that my emotions have not been toyed with as much as they have been here in Tokyo. No, not even by Amanda (Hi, Pants ;))! There have been many ups and many downs. As of this writing, I do not want to go back home. But it was only a short time prior when I was contemplating my return to Vancouver, maybe in time for the Jazz Fest. Life's like that I suppose. The only real thing keeping me here is the prospect of good things to come. These don't happen often, but this time it's landing an interview for a Copywriter position with a design firm. That's right. Just like the English Narrator position from last month, I'm preparing one basket to carry my multiple eggs. But I've only ever had one basket here so it's no big deal.
