I am really liking my hair black- I figure if it can’t be rainbow, might as well go to the other color extreme, eh?
And it makes my rainbow accessories stand out more! :D
This week I have been preparing for work by getting professional clothes shipped to my sister in Boston and then relayed to me (thanks, Katherine!)… and other than that I have been watching a lot of anime. Ahem, I mean “practicing japanese”. My sleep schedule has slowly slipped backwards far enough that I am now waking up when it is dark and going to bed after it’s light, so I am going to put it back to something reasonable before training starts next week. I actually really enjoy my reverse schedule to a certain extent… especially since it is so hot here. I think waking up as late as 4 or 5 and going to bed around 6 or 7 is fine, but after a while I start to feel… dislodged… like now, so I start over. Not getting any sunlight makes me crazy. I really miss the weather I am used to, and strangely enough, when I think of “home”/America, it is California that is calling to me, in environment, anyway, even though I’ve lived in Boston for 6 years. Travelling has really shown me what my Dad told me when I was a teenager, that California really does have a huge variety of biomes and the most pleasant weather… and I might end up choosing it as my permanent home eventually, or at least somewhere on that coast. Yes, i’m feeling a bit homesick, so I am glad that I will be getting my own apartment in two weeks so I can start making a nest of familiarity for myself! My sister is sending spearmint tea and rose incense along with my clothes to that end. :)
Yeah, California is pretty rad in terms of environment and climate, although the rest of the Pacific Coast is pretty awesome as well (the farther north you go it might get colder than you want. There’s not a lot of ocean swimming north of like 37 degrees N). But it sounds like you are having an exciting adventure!
