Roller Coaster Pinky

The last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster of ups and downs. But so long as there are ups, I have to think positively.

The downs, well, they aren't the bad kind of downs, but the foreboding future-deciding downs.

For one, I've chosen to extend my stay in Japan for at least one more semester. Which is absolutely a good thing. But with extending my stay, means having to find a new place to live, which is stressing me out like hell. And when Pinky stresses out, she avoids dealing with said stressor, and thus the problem is not solved.

And because I really don't want to dwell on that horrible reality, that's as far as I'm taking up that update for now.

Another horrible reality, is that I'm trying to figure out what to do post-KCP (KCP being the name of my language school). Do I apply to grad school? Do I try to find a job? And if I do want to work, as what? And if I do want to do grad school, I need to seriously get my ass in gear and get on those applications.

But as with the previously mentioned stress-topic, this is as far as I'm going to take this as well for now.

See where I'm getting at? I don't want to face my problems. But I really have no choice but to face them. And fast. Cause I'm running out of time to dilly-dally.

But let's talk about fun things too. Because, I enjoy fun things~! (And you should too!)

I had a really good weekend~! Even though I was feeling sorta anti-social on Saturday, I got invited by some Harajuku Fashion Friends to some event, so I decided what the hell, and went. And it was super fun~! I got to go to a part of town I'd never been to, and take trains I'd never taken, and as I love exploring and trains, such things inevitably make me quite excited. Then the event itself, which was pretty small-scale and underground-ish, was a lot of fun too. I look forward to the next one~!

Then on Sunday I walked around all over town~! First from Shibuya to Daikanyama. Then all over Daikanyama. Then back to Shibuya. And finally from Shibuya to Shinjuku. I'm aware this means almost nothing to most people reading it, but it was a significant amount of walking, which makes me super happy. Needless to say, my legs were super sore when I woke up this morning, but no regrets! When it gets a little cooler, maybe I'll try to walk the entirety of the Yamanote Line (which I heard takes something like twelve hours to complete)!

So Pinky's conclusion of the day: So long as there are ups, I can find a way to get through the downs. Fuck do I ever sound like one of those positive people today lol.
