Think I got the gist of that. In any case, I'm glad you were able to have such a great time with family and friends. Especially nice meeting someone with the same interest in local history that you have!
HL: had a nice, chill day. Played some games, watched some TV, studies some Japanese. I think I'll read for the rest of the evening.
LL: I'm putting on weight. ¬__¬ Need to eat less, and better.

quote: I'm putting on weight.
You need to watch out for that and take steps against it while you are young and your body is best able to combat it. I didn't and the extra weight I have in middle age is incredibly hard and frustrating to control.
Also heart problems. I had a minor heart attack 5 years ago and it was a scary wake up call.
Get out and do physical things - cycling, walking, running, swimming. Whatever you can. You will really value that effort later, I promise.

Lowlight: boring day at work. I feel tired out from it after doing so little!
Highlight: I got more time to study at least. And for once, I got to a section in the grammar chapter where I already knew almost all of it! Usually I only know one or two things, so this is encouraging.

Thanks for the advice, guys, I'll keep a handle on it. I'm not an unhealthy weight or anything just now, but I reckon I could do with losing half a stone maybe. Less snacking, less sitting on my butt all day.
WL: we have a new flatmate, just showed up today and moved into the empty room. Young guy from Nigeria. Seems pretty shy but I can totally understand that, moving into a place with three people who are already good friends must be kind of intimidating, plus he's just a first year and a long way from home. Hopefully we'll be friends, or that he'll make other friends at uni at least. Don't want him being lonely in there.
HL: so our oven door got jammed shut at the weekend and we had a cake in there, couldn't get it out until this afternoon. Turns out it was cooked pretty perfectly, didn't get too dry, we put some raspberry jam in the middle, made some tea-flavoured icing and put that on top, and damn is it good. Two thirds gone already :')

Lowlight (yesterday but it wasn't over until today so it still counts): a typhoon extended my hour-long train ride to almost eight hours.
And Abe won big in the election, unsurprisingly but very disappointingly.

Oh Husky, I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and everyone who knew the lady, and bless you for doing so much to help.

Highlight: I'd sent a cover letter for a job application to my old teacher to take a look at it, and she finally got back to me with suggestions! She actually advised me to change quite a bit, which is kind of unfortunate since I don't think I have time to get it checked again after making changes.
Anyway I'll try and fix it up and hopefully have it all done tonight! I've been wanting to find a new job for ages so I want to finally get the ball rolling.

LL: Didn't get a job I applied for. The thing is it's not even that I particularly REALLY wanted the job itself, I'm just very unhappy where I currently am so was excited at the prospect of change.
HL: Going to be hand-delivering my JET application early next week (wish me luck!)

LLLLL: that net neutrality **** is happening again. although it does not affect me, but it will as all the services are interconnected. and what USA does basically eveyone else follows especially in the case of technology
any US people here please please call your representitive for the sake of humanity's biggest invention
