Blah!

It's SO humid...(how humid is it?)

It's so humid, that if I don't dry my hair, it stays damp the entire day! Bah-dum-bump!

But seriously, Chris and I are both struggling with this problem. The air is so damp that our hair just never fully gets dry. It's troublesome. And I'm not just talking about when you keep your hair in a ponytail all day it never dries in the middle. But just when it's down and air drying, it stays damp. Ugh, my hair is not doing well because of this. Chris' is super curly at the moment. Normally his hair is just wavy, but lately it's been very curly. He got a haircut to try to combat the problem, but it's still much curlier than normal.

In other news, I've finished with my school in Kisuki. No more of that! I'm free! Hooray! We had a goodbye party for me last Sunday and this was my last week. The new guy, Adam, came a few times. Turns out, he's a bit of a tool. Poor James (owner of the Eikaiwa). He's kinda apprehensive about the new guy because he's so annoying and clueless about things. I don't have much good to say about this guy, so lets move on!

It's finals week at Nishi so I have so more time off. I really only have 3 days left at Nishi. It's hard to believe it's all coming to an end. I like Nishi. I think I will definitely miss it, even though it's gotten kinda boring since I'm not the main teacher anymore. I've been hanging out with Rika more, which is cool. She's a nice girl. I hope she's able to make friends with the remaining JETs.

I've also been hanging out with Imaoka-san lately. We've been doing lunches on Wednesday. I really wish I had started that earlier because it's something to look forward to. We meet on Wednesdays, have lunch, and then we've been doing work on translating and editing a pamphlet for Izumo-Taisha. It's interesting!

Next week is when I will official start getting ready to leave. I will sell off some of the stuff sitting in the back bedroom and then start organizing stuff to be packed, thrown away, or even shipped home. It's all very exciting. I'm sure it's going to be tough when I start. Especially because I have a LOT of big boxes of appliances to drag down to the Off-House. I sure hope they take it all. Otherwise we are going to have to find people to just take it. Since there are 6 other people leaving at the same time, there is a surplus of stuff out there. Oh well. Good luck to me and the Off-House.

Tutoring and guitar lessons have also officially come to an end. Soon the satellite subscription will be cancelled and we will be having to turn off a lot of out services. 4 weeks left, man. Lots to do lots to do.

We also have some more leaving parties to go to. It should be fun. There is a big Leavers Party somewhere in Sada, but Chris and I chose not to go since it's an overnight thing and that's not really our style.

And lastly, just so you know. This is PROBABLY going to be my last journal entry. I'm definitely not going to keep writing when I return to America and my last few weeks here are going to be super busy as I pack and spend my last bit of time sight seeing and taking pictures that I haven't got yet. So, don't worry if I don't update again. I have to stop sometime and now seems like as good a time as any!

See you all soon! Love you all!
