w00t

Well my life has, and will continue, to get really crazy over the next few weeks. This is a good thing. Kat recently got on at the same university I work at, and fortunately, only a few blocks away. So we can carpool...and buy a house. Now begins the arduous task of finding a home, and a loan. I have already scheduled some time off of work to begin the loan and home search. It is a very exciting time, but it also means I will be really busy.

A perk of Kat's current job is the dorm room we are allowed to live in for free. That being said, we have to be moved out by next month. I will miss not paying rent...but I will gladly pay rent to actually have a kitchen and another room.

In any case, while I cannot boast about my studying or work out routine as of late, I can at least say I purchased a few books the other day. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I, for one, have never read either of these books, but obviously knew of them. I am enjoying The Great Gatsby so far, definitely a book you can define by the period it was written in and about. I am trying to get myself to read some classic literature, since I was pretty lazy about reading such things in high school.

So the next time I post, it will have hardly anything to do with what I intended to use this blog for. I will try and chronicle the purchasing and moving process though...when I get the time.

Long Time, No Post

Sorry about not posting in a while...life has caught up with me. In the last few weeks I've been hanging out with some students at SJC who I may not see for a while, Kat and I have been booked constantly, and a certain game came out that is taking up time I should be using to do other things. I've been waiting on GTA IV forever, so naturally I want to take some time and play it.

During Little 5 weekend, I messed my finger up which made it hard to do certain exercises...but enough for excuses.

On a positive note, I've been running at least once week. I've been trying to do twice a week, but the weather hasn't been the best maybe I can run tonight...Kat and I have been making up for it by taking long walks which have been nice when it hasn't been raining.

I ordered a book off of Amazon to help me with my kana's and I plan to start using it soon so I can began the arduous task of reading Japanese. I also need to figure out how I can put Japanese characters in html...if anyone knows how to do that please let me know, I've been searching but haven't devoted a ton of time trying anything.

Well I promise I'll try and post more often now, especially since this blog isn't that old. Once I get parts of my life in order, like my living situation, and can get a bit more organized I'll try and post about my work out routine and my progress on Japanese.
