Not Much ...

... new. The weekend is nearly over and I really wish work wasn't tomorrow. I've become a bit lazy about work ;_; I think it's because there wasn't much of a break and last week was just really really boring and didn't exactly "jump start" my teaching impulses. Anyway this weekend I went to a big party on Friday night to celebrate 3 of The Residence's ALT's and our Japanese friend's birthdays. Mac and Chelsea were both born on the 13th, Karen's birthday is May 1st and Maya's birthday is the 21st. So we went to an Izakaiya and ate and drink and did a bit of Kareoke, then it was off to Coast Bar for a bit more fun ... dancing and drinking. Overal it was pretty fun. There will be another party this coming Saturday, this time at Mac's apartment. Yuriko may or may not come back to Himeji and come to the party (she is my ex teacher at Ohtsu that got fed up with "the bitch" and quit).
As far as Yoriko goes I am not sure where I stand. She seems interested, but wants to put off doing anything because at the moment she is job hunting and so is really busy. So guess we'll see. Also I saw Sachiko last Friday and we caught up a bit. She was the woman I danced with and hung out with on New Year's Eve but didn't follow up with because at the time I was trying to narrow my options down to either Yoko or Yoriko. Anyway not sure where I stand in her eyes but it was good to see her again.
Other than that I have been quite lazy recently only running 3 times last week and doing 1 weights/abs workout last week. As a result my legs and abs really hurt after my hard workout last Thursday. So this week I intend to be better ... we'll see if this happens or not. Last week I had the excuse of Hanami and went to several social events related to the cherry blossom viewings. However this week is business as usual as far as I know so hopefully that means I'll kick my ass out the door more. See you all very soon.
