I have my computer back and things are nearly back to normal except for the fact that i do not have office on it, so no outlook, or excel and most importantly no word. How annoying, but it gets worse. As Sony have made their computers so hard to fix by a non Sony geek, a lot of functions on my laptop are now obsolete. I can no longer watch Tv, not that I watched any Japanese TV anyway, but it was always a nice feature to brag about. I cannot use my remote control. I can't even turn the brightness of my screen down so I am sitting here and the light is slowly burning through my retina and i swear that I am starting to see dots. So, there lies my gripe with the Sony boys, you are annoying and so is your software, can you make it a little easier for use to actually use your stuff. Then maybe, just maybe, people might start taking you lot seriously once more.
The weekend was a chilled one, I really just relaxed. I know, my life is so stressful and I really needed a break from all the hectic work that has been consuming my life. So you can totally understand what I am going through once i tell you this: I went to school this morning and checked my timetable, only to find out that in the next two weeks i have two classes. Well it was three but one of them got cancelled this afternoon. In the previous 2 weeks i have only taught about 2 possibly three classes. I wish that the Japanese were fully aware of the fact that their hard earned cash, and believe me when i say "hard-earned", was going. To a fat lazy bastard like me who is in all actuality totally fatigued with his life in this far eastern archipelago.
Alas though, I have learnt to keep myself busy. I am reading, my studying is slowly getting back up to a decent level and I am planning my little Easter vacation when I shall be going to some places in Japan that I have not yet visited, unfortunately though I will not be going to Fukuoka since it is too far and will end up being way too expensive. LMW shall be here in over a week and then my friend Chris just after, it will be good to be so busy.
Wednesday and Thursday will see the Entrance Examinations for my school take place. I can either take nenkyu (holiday) or I can go in at 8 and leave at 1610 without being able to leave the teachers room the whole day, and that means even for lunch. So i am thinking that I might cook something really smelly to take with me. I asked if i would be allowed to go to the gym... that was this afternoon and I am still waiting for an answer....
