why can't i
...make a decision? it's true what nathalie says about me. i freak when i have to make even the slightest 'relatively' important decision. i'm sitting here, biting my nails, wondering what to do. i woke up this morning and lay in bed for 20 minutes, pondering my situation and stressing out about it.
the decision?
whether to go to tokyo this weekend or stay shibata-bound. why am i about to have a hernia over it?
i also have to do tsunami lessons in my next 2 classes which i'm completely sick of! between my two jhs's i've had to teach about 15 tsunami lessons, and i'm just fed up with it.
and i'm trying to study the [verb] + 'tai' - "to want to do something case" of japanese and it's stressing me out too. i'm on the first page of this new grammar book and it has to be completed and arrive in tokyo by the 28th.
watashi wa kangaeritai denwa arimasen. i'm assuming this is in fact complete jibberish and doesn't mean at all what i think it does.
but i did feel good the other day when i went to a furniture store to buy a lamp. in complete japanese, i asked the cashier if it was indeed white, and not blue as it showed on the box, and that was what i wanted, so that was ok. wow. and i've been here six months...
nathalie had suggested i write something in my blog today...but for the life of me i can't remember what it was.

oh yeah and i've given up sugar for lent. you guys should all bet on how long i can keep it up. might keep my motivation.
btw, sunday's a cheat day.
you were telling me about the signs you recognised on your drive home and how when you first got here you didn't know any of them, and it was such a novel experience i thought i'd be a good blog subject... getting to know Japan, the familiarization of the unfamiliar, but now, i've stolen your fire...
you should do whatever will be most fun, keep in mind that you want to go to Holland because you love and miss your sister and want to eat real food again, and so staying in Shib. will save you the most money...
hmmmmm...uh.....no.
it was supposed to be 'i don't want to think anymore'.
but, i've fallen from the ash tree.
yes. 8-ball. i need one.
signs. maybe in tomorrow's blog?

becky says--
because making decisions is difficult. even the little ones. i go so far as to- do i go to tsutaya and rent a movie, or just stay in my apt, where it's warm? i say the momma's and the poppa's had it right when they sang "do what you (what you) wanna do, go where you (where you) wanna go...."
maybe i should listen to them more.
As a person who always acts first then thinks later, i WOULD normally tell u to just get your ass to Tokyo and have fun. HOWEVER, Nat has a good point. Tokyo or die Nederlande? I know what id choose, and every damn penny counts....
Come on....get your act together girlee.
i totally rely on the 8-ball for impartial, accurate advice.
OK I'M GOING TO TOKYO and i feel much better after having made the decision. i just needed to talk with dave and be persuaded a little. i was leaning towards going anyway. and i'm going to study japanese on the bus there (i say this now). are any of you japan lot still doing those CLAIR correspondance books? i had to get tomoko to help me with last months' answers because i fell behind. no excuse with all of thise desk time, i know.
