Life is good
I’m sitting here at home. Most of everybody’s out. Mike and his girlfriend (I forget her name) are playing on his PS2, and he might be coming to Jujitsu tomorrow. I was entertaining Davina, Pam, and Shirley earlier. I cooked some soup-like thing, made some humus, and made pancakes. Life is good.
I went to the pub with the rest of the Jujitsu-ka after Jujitsu on Wednesday. I talked to Karen mostly. As it turns out she spent a year in Japan teaching English as a second language (E2L) after her degree, which I was very interested in. I’d quite like to do something like that myself. It could prove more fun and maybe better for my career if I skipped the placement year, finished my course, and went to Japan for a year. It would give me a rest from computer science and some experience in something other than computer science. Employers like transferable skills, don’t they? Also, it would be so fun!
So, what have I been doing this week? I obviously haven’t been blogging. I’ve been reading cat-related blogs: I found catv7 while looking for some Japanese thing (maybe I was looking up some kanji); and cats.noehr.org, via Anne.
I found Vegan Lunch Box on my travels. I love the format. It’s so simple and concise.
I’ve been replying to comments too. I didn’t know what I was missing out on before I got comments. I got a lot of feedback for Google Reader (and I’ve been linked to lots).
I’ve decided it might be time to start learning カタカナ (Katakana, the second Japanese script that one learns) now that I can read ã²ã‚‰ãŒãª (Hiragana, the first script) pretty perfectly and I can write almost all the characters without too much effort.
