3 months and a whole lot of slackness

Yep, so I've been neglecting my blog for the past month... or so I don't even know how long it's been, but it's been long. It is my 3 month anniversary today, and to mark the glorious day I learnt the word for anniversary in Japanese, きねんび。 Fantastic, right? Right.

What's changed since I last blog? Simply put, a lot. Too much to recall. My Japanese has gone from non-existent to... poor. Generally I can maintain a conversation, but there is always the times when I stare blankly into somebody's eyes thinking 'Omg, what the hell are they saying...'.

I've developed a deeper understanding for Japanese society, been to Tottori, had a haircut, been visited by my Marist folk, received my first spontaneous kancho, embarrassed myself on the baseball field and had my umbrella stolen.

I've also accepted I have to come home.
