Finally, a day off. And a day off that's not even completely free; I definitely still have taiko tonight, but it is a huge relief not to have to work today. I also think I'm getting sick, so I dunno what to do about that.
Sore throat, nose becoming congested, and the sick voice - it started yesterday and took it up a notch this morning. I definitely felt like shit as soon as I got out of bed, but felt better after my pricey yet therapeutic, nail appointment. I am also in love with my nails right now. (Alex says: I got my nails did. And hell yes, foreal I got my nails did.)
I think deep down, I'm really just princessy. haha (okay, so maybe you knew that already)
Skyped with Aya for hours last night, and that was super fun. We talked so long I almost remember it like I was drunk, I was so tired (but happy) at the end of that talk session. We chatted about her cute students, about nostalgically watching old fb vids, the amazing quality of Japanese condoms, and played the "would you rather?" game. I'm glad I can keep in touch with her, along with the rest of my home friendsies - it makes me feel like I'm not far away at all. Thus the lack of homesickness on this departure from home.
A little worried about all the gifts I have to bring home, because I also don't want to overdo it to the point where I'm spending millions of dollars I don't have on gifts for Christmas because everyone got such nice things for Thanksgiving holiday. hahahaha - uh, I wish I had millions of dollars to spend on gifties.
Thank goodness for the huge craft fair this past weekend though - they're like Hawaii pasttimes, and these people definitely go all out. Both vendors and buyers - it's pretty intense. But there were some awesome things to choose from, so those will be fun to bring home.
Had some good bonding time with Kelsey yesterday too - in celebration of having Tuesday off we went to Formaggio's and chatted about life over wine, mixed drinks, and foie gras. Lavish.
Definitely miss the activist life after the latest article on disaggregation and Count Me In came out; although I was branded "the epitome of the model minority myth" in this article (I know, wtf) it is definitely a very in-depth and great article on the issue, with a good amount of data. Other than that and the fact that APC wasn't mentioned as an organization, I think it's worth a read and a forwarding. And plus the writer, Carol Brydolf, was very courteous in asking me questions and making sure I got a copy of the magazine. You can read here:
Getting real about the "model minority"
