03/13/2005: "Spring break"

Let's see.. pulse.. breathing.. yep. I'm still alive. I also haven't fallen off the end of the earth yet, so all is basically status quo! Now that we've established what I haven't done and am not, I guess I should go into what I have been up to and what I am.

First and foremost, this week is spring break. No school! So, what kind of insane, morally questionable, and fun things do I have planned? Absolutely nothing! That's not to say that I'm opposed to having fun over spring break.. just that it isn't exactly what I'm good at. Also, it turns out that everyone I know that I could drag out for entertainment this week is out of town. Yes, very strange indeed. That kinda throws a wrench into whatever my plans may have been. This leaves me with somewhat less-impressive spring break plans. I'm going to start (and hopefully finish, since I'll have alot of free-time) "Disgaea" [PS2], try to finish "Star Wars: Republic Commando" [Xbox], watch anime I still haven't gotten around to sitting through, and.. maybe do some homework that I haven't bothered doing any of this whole semester.

Second, well.. I'm finally down to working on the finer points of my trip to Japan now. Basically, I'm working on the details for the Tokyo part of my trip (as the rest will be spent elsewhere while I'm working, so most of the details with that will already be taken care of). Where I'll stay, how long I'll be there, tentative plans, and if I want my own room or if I want to go dorm-style again. I also need to figure out how I want to get from point A (Tokyo) to point B (where I'll be working this summer) soon.

I keep thinking about how long I'll be gone, though (mid-May to mid-August). It's quite a long time. Strange to think that I'll be leaving in about 2 months. I'm not really sure what to think, what to make of it. It's quite different.. a chance of a lifetime, really. At the same time, it's very new.. different. Before I leave, I'll definitely need to pickup some games for my DS and Xbox.. maybe grab a PSP if I can afford it. Don't know yet. But I'll most certainly want things to keep me entertained for long periods of time.

I think I'm going to go off and play some game or another for a bit, but I'll write sometime again soon. Need to update my site later tonight and then work on that DS skin soon.. yep. Always something that needs to be done.
