Even if it kills me

In the night, the stormy night, she'd close her eyes,
In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly ..

Oh yeah, I might be heading out to Japan in April.

It seems like forever since I last posted anything. I guess what with going back to working full time at the pub and various other distractions, there wasn't a great deal of noteworthy stuff bubbling up to the surface.

But now I'm back .. ish. The kickstarter has been an out-of-the-blue wakeup call that came through in mid January, suggesting this position at an English centre in Japan. Not a month later, I've had my interview and am in the process of sending off documents to Japan to get my working visa. School starts at the beginning of April! 

Things are all moving so quickly that there barely seem to be enough hours in a day or days in a week to get all the things done or see all the people that I want to. So outside of work, I can feel myself winding down into compromise mode. It felt a bit like a bad thing at first, delegating which people or aspects of my life get the full treatment and which I have to reduce, but it'll all be ultimately beneficial.

I'll be starting up a new blog either when I arrive or a little nearer to departure, just as I did with Germany. I'll keep you updated. Arigato gozaimasu!
