Good News and Bad News

I have good news and bad news. Let's start with the bad ones: I feel like crap today. Haven't been this 病気 since I came to Japan actually. (It's good that I use words that only some will understand, I know.) It had already started yesterday, but then I thought it was just a negative effect of the partying the day before. Seems I was wrong. Seems there was something more sinister lying behind it from the beginning after all.

What this means is, no exams for me today. I will just have to try to be happy with my original result, and make sure I get my 95% or above on every single test I'll have from now on to make up for it. That shouldn't be too hard.

I am quite confident in my ability to succeed when I want to. Next semester will be the one where I prove to everyone that I, and no one else, have the right to call themselves master. Johan - my new rival through agreement in school, career and love - let us rise above the masses, and take this battle to a whole new level!

Though what I just wrote for sure had a very positive spirit hanging over it, there are even better news just waiting to be revealed through this mail. I have money again!! Let me just say that again, just to make sure no one misses it: I HAVE MONEY!!! :D

Finally I can start doing things again, meeting people, having fun. Getting back out there, learning japanese by actually talking. I can also get myself a haircut, which is long overdue to be sure. Time to start making a budget for the comming three months. As soon as I've had some breakfast and memorized another chapter's worth of vocabulary, I'll get right on it.

I have a strong feeling that the next few months will be very good to me indeed.
