So the weekend was relaxing. Another water-based location, more eating, more drinking. This time? In a river bed (sans a river) under a bridge (for shade, of course). The organizer even had satellite radio, so we were beaming all those warm-fuzzy 80’s pop hits from the US. natsukashiina! A few of the choicest shots (as you’ll see, I wasn’t in my photo-taking prime).
Classes have pretty much gotten into full swing, with some homerooms being a breeze and a joy and others, well, not. The work load isn’t as bad as last term, so things are more relaxed, and I’m able to deal with the stress more easily.
My hakama is about 6cm too long (and there isn’t a place to try on, you just have to go by the height spec’d in the catalog. I’m 180cm, but apparently, my legs aren’t proportional to a 180cm individual), so I need to get it tailored. Nothing is ever done the first time or done easily here…
