Navarro Family Vacation

Yay!! ビデオができた。久しぶりにしなかったから時間がかかった。写真をよくウプロードする代わりにビデオにする方がいいと思った。だから作った、じゃ、たのしんでください。I haven't made a video in a while so it took some time.. Its nothing fancy, but instead of posting a ton of pictures on to this site I thought "why not just put it into a video?" so I did. Enjoy!

時間が足りなくなる "Pressed for time"


It seems lately that ive found less and less time for myself. Since this semester started ive put most of my focus on Japanese study. I've found myself constantly around other people. Just yesterday my sister and my dad returned to America after a nice 10 day visit. As exhausting as it was, it was an enjoyable experience. I took alot of pride in being able to show my family around Oita, Beppu, Kyoto and Osaka with only my broken Japanese to keep us from getting lost and spending the night on the street.

Now that im recovering from the so called "golden 'week'" which wasn't actually an entire week, Im busy making up for classes I missed and attempting to double up studying for tests I need to make up. However, I find myself now wanting to really study all that much. Ive been getting a little bit better at speaking and understanding the language but as far as book study, I can't bring myself too it. Ive been around people so long doing nothing but socializing and study that I forgot to make time for myself. I realized I don't even have so much time to make the wacky videos I used to or upload pictures from my adventures.. This week ill be pressed for time trying to get back on top of my studies even though I don't have a part time job or anything. I certainly hope Japan hasn't spoiled me too much, because I know i shouldn't be this busy. Haha, Ive been seriously thinking of ways I can get better use of my time, but first I need to learn to take some time for myself and recharge my mind. Later on I hope I can start making interesting posts and cool videos once again! Meanwhile, as I try to do what I 'should' ill probably distract myself by picking up the guitar like i used to, or spend the whole day cleaning my room or biking somewhere only to become hungry, eat... bike back, eat some more.. then buy groceries to make more food and eat some more.

Also, it seems like I have 5 new Japanese tutors, all Economics majors who im expected to teach English conversation to. But after all, ill probably just use my broken Japanese with them as much as I can. ^_^ It will probably be a week before I can start picking things back up with this blog, giving my friends personal updates, and being able to mess around with video editing again.


The Navarro family.. reunited in Japan!

PS: hopefully i can post more pictures soon. Given that I forgot to take my camera's charger out of my sisters bag before she left... I may need to get a new camera (-_-)
