Where it's at

It has been busy and hectic, for the last few months. I have been racing around, trying to study, learn, explore, and do research for my thesis paper. Oh, yeah, and teach, too. This place is a challenge. The more I think I understand, the less I do, which is the usual cliche. I tried to upload photos from some of the trips I made recently, and it works, but all of the commands for blogspot are in Japanese, and I have to figure out what they mean. Also, I hate uploading pictures here. When you do it, it always loads the pictures to the front of the text, and you have to scramble around to put text around it. So, for now, I am just going to upload pictures to facebook.com and you can see my adventures there. I will keep this for notations and texts. Which is all we really need anyway, right? It will be just like a magazine, only without the fancy layout, or colour pictures, or ease of use. Ok, so it will be more like a textbook.

At any rate, I found a tutorial for blogspot and copied down all of the buttons' meanings, and will be typing away.

Lately my job is in a crisis, and Nova has been going through some troubled times. They have been late on payment for many staff members, although so far, I have gotten my money. I live in company housing, which is kind of expensive, so I think I shall look for cheaper options. Hopefully, I will not have to make any severe changes until after Christmas, when I can bring back a lot of stuff to my parent's house, in preparation for coming back to the states for a while. I need to do a lot of stuff before then, including take the Japanese proficiency test in Decembre. I hope I can last that long.
