Well I'm having one of those days. Probably not the best day to be blogging, but there's not much else to do today. I'm not in a kanji mood though I did try to scribble down a few when I got to work this morning. I know I really only need to be able to identify the kanji to pass the JLPT but I really like being able to write them and think it helps me to remember them more easily. Was bloody shocked though, after only a weekend, how much I have forgotten! Must be this getting old thing hey?
Went to another lithography class on Saturday. My print was a summer inspired うちわ but it didn't turn out as well as my koala. Next class is in September. So have to start thinking autumn themes. Totally devoid of any inspiration...perhaps something 秋祭り related?
Yesterday was a trip to Osaka. Now I'm just not a fan of Osaka. I guess considering my first living experience in Japan was in Tokyo has something to do with it. Anyway got there around lunch time and was greeted with ridiculously hot weather and NO breeze, a million people (literally) and just a short amount of shopping time before we headed off to the big matsuri (forgot the name). Popped into H&M and found a nice flowy top which I'm wearing at work today and a summery striped tank which I probably didn't need. Nonetheless it was fun to poke around. The last H&M I went to was in Dubai where everything was a total mess and not fun at all. Matsuri was just stupid hot and a bit of a non-event because we missed the parade. Highlight was 200yen beers and a big frankfurt dipped in ketchup. Have decided to go easy on matsuri's now. Have been to three this season and to be honest, big or small, night or day, they are all pretty much the same. Did enjoy Aioi's PERON though, because the fireworks was amazing.
Have the potential to fall into a slump today and declare myself to be in a neverending rut, but doing my best to just not think that much. I guess that's my biggest downfall- I think and I think the worst, the most negative and then I spook myself about things that haven't even happened. Well, santa all I want for christmas is to be more positive.
So in the spirit of being positive and productive and rut-free here's a list of the things I'd like to achieve by the time I am 30 (next year!!):
1. Sit and pass the JLPT N4 level
2. Lose 15 kilos
3. Go to New York
4. Own a GUCCI handbag (shallow I know)
5. Find inner peace (world peace can wait til next year)
6. Be engaged
I will fulfill all these goals, all of them very attainable.
Peace out and here's hoping next time I log in I'll have loads of happy thoughts to get out!
Stay tuned...
