ummm... yeah... not much to say unfortunately... ha ha

How long has it been since my last post? I believe the last time was somewhere in Tokyo… in the middle of the night trying. Oh? No… I think the last time when I was bitching about my graduation status….
Where should I start? What should I talk about? I suppose there could be a lot to say, but at the same time it all seems kind of normal… so what is there to say? It has all flown by so fast. Much has happened since: such as alien registration, getting national health insurance, a bank account, cell phone, internet, paying for my living arrangements, etc etc etc… honestly its nothing to write home about.
Things have kinda swung back and forth between good and bad. The good usually starting sometime around meal time… the bad usually after doing a ton of paperwork… In terms of my lab, it hasn’t been bad. The people are really nice, although I’m getting pampered. I’m sure my labmates all hate me for being babied so much… ha ha.
I did catch a cold however… so I guess that’s been interesting. The weather is getting warmer… whatelse?
It’s raining a lot…
The sakura are blooming… but it’s raining a lot… so… the sakura aren’t so happy.
I hang out with the international students a lot... international… and the freshman girls….

Oh… one cool thing that happened was hanging out with Yuta in Asakusa. That was cool. Granted it was just hanging out at the Miyamoto Studio. At the very least I got to independently study some taiko. I hope I can do it again sometime.
On a more taiko related note, I joined Kamo Tsunamura Taiko. They play taiko a bit differently than Asayake… so it’ll be interesting to see what techniques I can pick up. I kind of wish I saw practice more often… but in this area, it seems Taiko is a bit rarer… perhaps it would have been wiser looking for a group elsewhere. Oh well… we’ll make do with what we have now.
