November 8 On Monday I won a stuffed animal from a crane game in the laundromat and I almost cried. Not too sure why, I wasn't very upset or anything. Just very soft. Yesterday I set my job up for the windter. Since the Japanese spring term only begins in April, I have all the time from December to March to work some at the same dull 8 - 5 I worked this summer. The only thing that made it dull was the work, which was complexly boring. Hopefully I'm allowed to do something other than one-line analysis and CAD markups. The pay is good and the people are nice so there's not much to complain about. It's early in the evening but I'm very sleepy; I think I will shower and see how I feel afterward.
