well, it's been a bit of a stressful week, what can i say. after 3 great years with my BOE the whole staff has changed this year and they really haven't got a clue. which makes the leaving process rather difficult. and it's a little difficult and frustrating to iron out the wrinkles of certain (very important!) issues with such a language barrier. anyway.
other than that things are good. i've been taking the afternoon's off a lot when i don't have classes. i've also been fairly busy at school as well which means not a lot of days spent gazing at the pc screen at my desk.
i booked my flight home and that was a bit of a wake up call. it suddenly seems slightly more real now that i have a count down. my apartment is looking more and more bare as i strip the walls and pack stuff away.
i'm back kickboxing at full throttle, also trying to go on tuesday nights (as well as thursdays and saturdays) if i can. i've realized that it is the one thing in japan that i am going to miss the most (besides my friends of course...). it's the one thing i've done by myself for myself. i love everyone at the gym so much and i enjoy working out there so much...and i worry about finding a good gym in toronto. i kinda feel that in canada kickboxing is more about a cardio aerobic workout than it is a martial art...and i don't want to go to some gym where it's like a tae-bo class.
