It's time.
I'm having one of those enlightening I-am-a fabulous-woman-and-I-can-do-anything-I-want moments!
HAHA!
Absolutely BELTING out the lyrics to Beyonce's "Listen" in my house while tidying up. Surprised the windows are still in tact! :P
You know when you just have a feel good mood thing going on? Music is the best way to express that.
I had a really great day today - OK, well not the work bit, but I headed to my Japanese class and had a seriously good nihongo work out session! =) And now I'm at home chilling, catching up on some studying, cooking a yummy dinner and just enjoying the down time that I have promised myself to have every other day.
Think I'll do my nails next!

Down Time
What a chilled weekend I'm having.
I decided to stay in both last night and tonight - not only because the weather is too ghastly to go out in, but because I just needed some down time.
I've been on the go since I came back from Laos. It's like I landed, got back home and was straight back into chaos without having the chance to enjoy that moment of tranquility at home before jumping straight back into work.
So I wanted to spend a couple of evenings just mooching about - doing things but NOT doing things, spending the time to cook a decent dinner, kick back and watch TV and have a LONG, scalding hot shower.
And it feels good.
Everything's all confirmed now for my course next month. A hectic week, but the course has been paid for, my flight has been booked and paid for, I've got my accommodation sorted and the rent has been paid for. My bank balance is a sorry state, but it's all out the way and I don't have to worry about it anymore. My accommodation? A studio apartment in a complex...with a pool. NICE! Seeing as I'm gonna have to restrain myself on shopping (not sure how that's gonna work out), I decided that if I had to study on the weekend, then I may as well kill 2 birds with one stone and top up my tan as well! And even it out after all the tan lines I got in Laos! Come on now - I need to relax SOMETIME! HAHA!
Now I have to work out how to pay for the rest of the bills I have here in Tokyo! Such a hassle but it's gotta be done....at some point before I leave,
But in the meantime, I'm just gonna relax and enjoy the rest of the evening lazing around.
Have a good one people!

I. HATE. WINTER
NYYAAAAAAAA!!!
I am so not built for this weather!!!!!
I woke up at 5 and was out the door around 6...to be greeted by a whole load of snow and a biting, cold wind.
>_<
I will be soooo smug when I get on that plane to Bangkok is just 2 weeks.
2 WEEKS!!!
Where did all the time go? This is gonna be another year that flies by super fast - I mean, it's already the end of January! I can barely keep up! But on the other hand, I am pretty much on top of all the arrangements for the course - I just need to work out a few more things that end now.
It's gonna be mad. I'll be going from working every day this month, to studying my arse off every day next month and then back working my arse off every day in March! Seriously - I don't think I'm actually gonna be able to relax until May!
I was totally gonna go back to the gym tonight but it's just so damn cold and walking 20 minutes in those snowy showers is less than appealing. Think I'll settle for next Wednesday instead! LOL!

OMGGGGGG!!!!
I just absolutely bawled my way through the latest episode of GG.
I try to avoid spoilers so I won't go into too much detail, but I am absolutely stunned at the direction that it's taken. Stunned and GUTTED!!!!!
Watch it already people!!
On a different note, you know I said in my last entry that I really wanted some chocolate? As soon as I published that, the doorbell rang and I got a parcel from my baby girl in Canada!! Chocolate, skittles, toffee, bath salts and some beautiful pictures of her on her wedding day last year.
I miss her so, so much.
And now I feel sick from scoffing too much almond covered toffee!
HAHA!

Finished!!!
35 pages of grammar, 50 different (and very long!!!) questions, 5 hours (including loads of messing around online) and I'm done!!
So pleased that I managed to do the whole thing in one sitting - the instructions actually recommend that you don't but never mind! I just wanted to get it out the way so that I won't be rushing to try and do it at the last minute.
YAY!
Really fancy some chocolate now but I can't be arsed to go out and get any! =(
Think I'll treat myself to a bit of online TV now!

Cracking On
It feels so good knowing that I have no reason to leave the house today!
After a hearty breakfast, I started on this pre-course task that I told you I had to do for my CELTA. I'm 17 pages in - another 18 to go! It's not actually that different - it's just really dull. But the geek in me is enjoying studying about phonemes! LOL!
They say that the pre-course task is supposed to prepare you for the course. It's not only doing that, but it's making me realise that I can totally do it! I was worried about all this grammar jargon before, but I think once I can get my head around everything, it will be fine.
Wanna try and finish this thing today so I can make a start on all the reading I have to do.
Back to the grind!!

Missions
I have so much on today it's not even funny.
First off is my Japanese class, then it's a whole load of errands, then a wax and then work.
Uffffff....
It's doesn't sound that bad when you look at it like that, but it's all those little errands that involve flittering from one place to another doing all those little annoying things.
I can't wait for tomorrow. My day off. It can't come soon enough!!
Have a good day!
