クリスマス気分

最近とても忙しくて、毎日授業を終わったらアルバイトをしなきゃし、日本語の宿題とふたつ日本民法の論文と日本国憲法の発表を準備するために一所懸命勉強した。ほかのことがぜんぜんしないのに、気持ちが悪い。それでも、今日はシンガポールの友達と恵美ちゃんと靖子ちゃん一緒にキャナルシテイへ行った後、気持ちになった。

I have been complaining that I didn't feel the Christmas spirit even with the ubiquitous carols and intermittent snow. Perhaps due to my propensity to take things too seriously, I have been trying my best to keep pace with an almost inhuman workload when today I just decided (after having intensive lectures on Japanese Administrative Law on a Saturday from 10am to 430pm) that I would just forget about everything today, and just chill.

And I finally felt the festive mood tonight



We were participating in the candlelight christmastree setup, where we each had to decorate a cup before placing a candle in it. I wronte heiwa and drew 2 christmas trees. Here's a pic of the others and what they did with their cups:

And we posed for this shot in the blistering wind it is impossible to tell that everyone else was screaming "Samuii!" and rushing for cover. Haha. We went for kaiten-sushi after that, which was terrible on the wallet but really satisfying. Today was really the first time I felt happy the whole week.
