So today basically marks the start of my second year in this apartment and in turn in Gojo. I think I may take a video tour again just to show how things have changed.
Me? I really feel like I haven’t changed a bit. I’m sure my Japanese is better, and I am positive my teaching is better, but I feel stagnant. Not because of anything to do with Japan or my job, just, I feel like something is missing, but I don’t know what it is.
Here’s to another year though. I am definitely looking forward to it.

Day 11
80kg
Really standard day today. Hurt a bit, didn’t think I could make it, but I did. I almost can’t remember it at all, so it is starting to at least become a bit more natural for me. That said, I still have a long way to go before it won’t suck to holy hell.

Day 10
80kg
Ow.
It was raining like fuck this morning but that finally cleared up about an hour ago so I did my ride a little later than normal. Didn’t really help that I kept waking up all night and ended up sleeping until 10. Man, I am going to bed early as of late but am so fucking tired compared to usual. This exercise shit is whack, yo.

Day 9
80.5kg
Whoops, thought I posted this.
Nothing particularly special except the burning feeling in the legs was stronger than usual. I’m starting to hit a point where the ride isn’t really getting easier, maybe even going back a little bit in progress. Hrm.

Day 8
80.5kg
Dry. So dry. No matter how much water I drink, I feel dry. But I made it up the hill without any major issues. Today starts week two of the 100 pushups routine, let’s see if I can make it.

Day 7

Failure!
I actually could not make it up the hill today.
Well, I was tired as hell, number one. I did not go to bed until 7 this morning. Slept, woke up, ate breakfast, slept again, and then tried to get some work done but basically wasted time watching some videos. I tried to ride around 9 PM, but my legs were just not letting it happen. I made it to the conbini, picked up some food as I am still too tired to cook. Just ate a little bit and I think I’ll be in bed soon. Oi.

Day 6
82kg
Weight fluctuation!
I ran into a highschool student on my bike ride. She noticed my sweat towel was from her school (I got it when I judged the English recital competition back in November) and tried to strike up a conversation with me. I, thanks to dehydration, probably sounded like a complete fool and perhaps made the poor girl feel bad for my state of mind. I insist, it was the lack of hydration in my system.
Seriously, I have been chugging the water, but I am always thirsty. And tired. The bike ride went okay but oi, do I ever feel like taking a nap.

UGRHLFFSS….
Today I had to go to a different, farther school, so instead of taking my boss’s offer of driving me, I went by bike. Holy wow did it hurt. I had a lot of moments where I felt I lost control of my legs, but I did make it. I am so freaking tired.

Day 4
80kg
My mouth kept getting really dry today. Didn’t really have any problems other than that, and I have been making it to the top of the hill within fifteen minutes pretty consistently after day one. I did nap like a mother-fucker yesterday. I wonder if I’ll be able to go out all night on Saturday. Probably would be a bad idea, haha.
