I'm so happy for the weekend. I always feel so tired out at the end of the week. I'm guessing that has something to do with the sheer amount of time that transportation takes. That, combined with all the busy work our professors have been throwing at us, tires me out.

The next two weeks are going to be a mixture of awesome and me stressing out over school work. Our classes have really hit that point in the semester where they're starting to throw large amounts of work at us. The individual work for each class isn't that bad, but when you combine the work from all the classes it adds up. But, mixed in with all the school work will be some completely awesome times. The 21st through the 24th our study abroad program has a trip to Nagano. We're staying at a Japanese style inn (ryokan) with hot springs (onsen). I'm hoping it will be a fun and somewhat relaxing trip. The 25th is the day I get to go rock out at the V-Rock Festival! I am so super excited about this! Then I have a bunch of school stuff due during the last week of the month. That's going to suck, I'm sure. After that it's Halloween weekend! On Halloween,meepalicious and I are going to go to Saiyuki Festa for Saiyuki fangirl tiemz, and then spend the rest of the day in Harajuku! I'm pretty excited about this as well. Then, on November 1st my Anime and Manga class is going on a field trip to the Ghibli Museum for some Miyazaki time. The Ghibli museum for free! My favorite price.

Today, I'm just going to relax. I might read some more of the Pandora Hearts manga. I started reading it online the other day when I was in my super boring Social Organization class. It seems like it could be somewhat promising. I'll probably try and make plans for tomorrow though because I start driving myself crazy if I spend all weekend doing nothing. It leaves me with too much time to think about things, which normally does not turn out well. Any plans that I do make will have to be relatively inexpensive ones though. I'm trying to save money for the fun stuff coming up in the next couple weeks.

I am super psyched about the whole Halloween weekend. One of my friend Kate's friends in her program was saying something about the "gaijin Halloween train"? Apparently every year, foreigners basically make idiots of themselves on the Yamanote-sen on Halloween day - drunkenness, loud singing, occasional public nudity... However, some Googling shows that it's a little more vicious than fun, so we might want to know when not to be on the trains that day.

Oh, man. I had not previously heard about the gaijin Halloween train. After Googling it, I agree that it sounds quite obnoxious. We'll have to see if we can figure out when we'll need to avoid the Yamanote-sen.
