Life is Beautiful

I don`t think I`ve ever walked this much in my entire life. In my ENTIRE life. The distance between my apartment and my university is 40 minutes (at a brisk pace) to an hour (leisurely walk). This is like the equivalent of walking from Katipunan to fricking SM North, both ways, every fricking day. And sometimes, when I need to go to the grocery store in the other direction, I end up adding an extra 30 minutes to my walk.

As much as I miss my girls, I think I`m feeling the loss of my car more acutely. (Sorry Tet. Sorry Rae. ;D) Hehe, jk.

In other news, hung out with Korean, American, and German exchange students today. Very cool experience; hopefully when classes start we`ll still have time to see each other.

The last thing the admin people at UP told me before I left was not to embarass the university by getting low grades, so it looks like I`m going to be spending a lot of time in my room. Ugh. Haven`t had to be a good little nerd since I left highschool, but I suppose I owe it to my alma matter to turn in a decent performance…

Ganbatte kudasai, lol.

Arrived at the Narita airport yesterday and met up with people from my host school with little incident. I have a bit of a sore throat, though, most likely caused by the copious amounts of gin (ewww) I consumed during my despedida party. Jesus fucking christ.

The next time I plan on throwing one of those things, someone tell me that it`s a bad idea to land in a foreign country with a beat-up body.

Tokyo is in sakura season right now, which basically means it`s spring. And that, of course, is translated to `super freaking cold for you little island people`. Seriously. I am freezing my ass off here.

There is no internet in my apartment because I have to get it connected myself (this makes me weep), so I`ll have to take care of this as soon as humanly possible. Lord knows I can`t live without my internet. Hah.

In other news, there is a McDonald`s across the street from my new apartment. I had a vegetable bagel today that cost me Php120. Awesome. D;
