December 13th, 2001. Resisting temptation.

Well, I rearranged my room again. Totally restless here. Each day I go to Don Q's with the intention of buying milk or a bag of noodles and end up with stuff like extension cords, blank CDs, frozen dumplings and various other crap.

I bought some more boxes and another cabinet thing today. My goal is eventually to have all my belongings in translucent plastic boxes. I almost bought a chair along with my boxes and cabinet, but I decided to hold off on that. This update will be relatively short because I am standing as I type right now (due to the new room arrangement), and it's uncomfortable. Computers were made for use while sitting.

 

I moved the clothes rack so that it wouldn't be so much in the way. However, by shifting it over to another side of the room, I have bared more of the concrete walls. Ugh.

 

This is something I couldn't ever do back at Azamino Haus. It's 2:56am right now and I just washed my shirts. There was a 10pm curfew on running your washer in Azamino Haus. Talk about repression.

 

My computer is now in my closet, which is actually a better place for it than on the floor. Once I get a chair, this arrangement will begin to be convenient, rather than painful. Just adjusting my web cam right now.

 

Since I have been here, guys have been asking me about the women here. "Isn't it tempting? All those hot young chicks around you all the time?" And it's true, I do deal with a lot of women each day and many of them are attractive. BUT there is more to a woman than just a pretty face. Breast size and weight are important too.

 

Just kidding. Actually, I am not tempted at all. I try to keep the atmosphere of my lessons friendly, but professional. I go in, do my lesson and leave. Besides, I have a girlfriend whom I'm crazy about back home. Here she is.

 

And even if I wanted to be unfaithful, it's not that easy. In case you have forgotten, I don't speak the language, nor can I understand it. And take a look at me in the pics above. Deaf mute Asian boys with bad hair don't quite cut it here as players.
