I find myself in a rather interesting dilemma, here in the land of the Rising Sun. I am here for a relatively short time as far as living here goes (though 3 months for a tourist is an eternity!) and have so much I want to see. I have been here for almost a month and a half yet I haven't seen even half of the things on my list which tells me that I should really hop to it.

However, this doesn't really leave much time for sleep or studying. Honestly, getting up everyday at 7, commuting for an hour, and then going through 7 hours of class is absolutely exhausting. More often than not I am tired and cranky by the end of the day and declare myself not fit for company. I want to see stuff but I also need days to just sit and do nothing, go nowhere, and see no one.

This becomes increasingly more difficult as I meet more and more people, we make plans, or I travel on the weekend. I would like one weekend to vegetate and sleep in until noon, but I know I won't b/c there is so much more of this country I would like to see.

Maybe I should start drinking more coffee?
