I have less than 4 months left here! And I'm pretty much ready to leave. It turns out that I have more vacation days than I expected, so I'm not sure what to do about that. I may have a large block of time at the end of my time here, with nothing to do. I just booked my flight to and from Australia in October/November. After that, I will probably spend a week in Japan before going home. I should get home around Thanksgiving. That will be an expensive and crowded flight which I will not be obligated to pay for, because that is my employer's responsibility. But I'm still going to try to save my money, especially for Japan (because I have no friends there to stay with, and it is expensive!).

Woo, Japan! Woo, Australia! Woo, free flights home! Boo, needing more money.

I'm doing better in class (at least for the past few days). I came up with a better motivation system (we'll see how long it lasts), and I'm making a point to stay positive.

It's the rainy season here, so it's been raining pretty hard about every other day. I have to say, I like it a lot (aside from the massive blanket of humidity it throws over the whole country). I think heavy rain, particularly a thunderstorm, is my favorite weather ever.

Pokemon fans, look at my new story! I have some ideas for it, but I'm not sure which ones I'll use.
