Work and Vacation

Well, it's been a long time since I've sat down here in my study cubby. :/ Things have gotten pretty intense with my job like I had previously predicted. The good news is that I got to take a much needed vacation and stuff has sort of mellowed out for the moment with work. Calm before the storm, if you will. All the prior stress was just a false alarm (?!?) sort of.

Anyway, for my vacation I went to Torrance, California with my boyfriend. It was our "As Close as We Can Get to Japan Right Now Tour." Most things we did were tied to 日本 in some way. Mostly eating, checking out Little Tokyo in downtown LA, eating and shopping. Did I mention that we ate? All of our meals except for one were Japanese or of Japanese concept. :)

It was a blast and it really has re-inspired me on this 日本語 journey. I've been back for about a week and although I haven't been here in the cubby, I've been using My Japanese Coach on the DS a lot, as well as some of the book Japanese in 10 Minutes a Day. Going to really try and keep up posting here and using the free chapters of TextFugu as much as I can despite the brain strain I'm going to be facing again at work. I really want this!

Here goes nothing!
