This month, as well as last month, was marked with fairly large events that basically dragged me away from being on the Internet as often as I could be. That's fine though, but let's see what's happened.
This would be a little shorter as well because there just isn't a lot to talk about.
The last two months have largely been characterised by me not being able to write many things and generally scaling back creative output. This means that essentially I haven't got much done in terms of writing and making stuff.
Nevertheless I have been able to write a little bit, which mostly involves small writing projects that have been piling up for a while now. I have also confirmed that my old laptop continues to work as it hits its 8 year old mark.
I have made a little bit of extra progress on writing my grammar, including some additional cultural details that I have not thought about previously.
That little detail is about musical tuning systems, which I have suddenly gained an interest in over the last two months. It's an interesting idea and also another point from which I can just have another Big Messy Jumble of Systems that makes everyone a little uncomfortable in various ways.
A thing that has definitely happened is that now I have a sightly different room and subsequently I am now typing this about three or four metres to the right of where I used to be typing this from. The whole thing took up two weeks at which point I have not been able to do very much at all in the meantime.
I have picked up Japense class and I have a mind to complete the course and pass a public examination. This should not be excessively difficult as I have already had some level of partial immersion and can hear a lot already, but I still have lots to go when it comes to speaking and writing.
There's still a number of other things I have to do. I haven't been able do a lot of university applications, (by that I mean I have done none at all) and this is peak season so I'm obviously missing out but I have some kind of mental barrier on that. I don't know how to fix that.
Things in the world and for myself are going a bit pear shaped and I don't know what to think about it. At the same time, things seem to be moving faster all the time and I can't catch up. So I can only sit and hope. Maybe I'll work something out some day.
