Juuudo

I skipped Judo today, because I was very tired and sore from Monday's practice after a long break and general lack of sleep. I think that I will stop going to Shorinji. It is frustratingly boring.
I heard recently that my dojo back home is no longer, or at least will soon be disbanding. I guess it's sorta been heading in that direction, if you look at the long run, but it was still somewhat surprising. I don't mind though. I think it must have been difficult for my teacher to be dedicated to the dojo when he lived almost an hour away and had a family and job and everything else, so its pretty understandable.
I hope that everyone finds a way to keep training. I have a few options.
I might be coming home earlier than expected, I just hope that everyone who wanted to come can make it before I go. If not, Bretton, we will have to come back another time.
Being in Japan and living on my own has been great, but my school is just bimuyou (unsatisfactory maybe?). So i'll come home in time for spring quarter, or summer session, or second summer session. but if i don't find something structured to fill my time here, it seems that sooner makes more sense than later.
ok. thats all for now. the trains will stop soon, so i can get some rest :)
