7 Years Per Egg
Jun. 24th, 2007 06:00 pmThursday: Reentry workshop, which was pretty useless. I am expecting reentry culture shock to be a bit worse than my adjustment on arriving here, though...
Saturday: Trip to Hakone. Not terribly exciting, but very relaxing. Fairly fancy Japanese-style lunch, quick walk around Hakone Checkpoint (historical site), and then rode the ropeway to a mountainside sulfurous hot-spring. Ate a lot of ice cream and some onsen tamago (hot-spring eggs; also called kuro tamago, since the eggs turn black from the minerals in the spring water). Hanging out with friends was fun, and I'm glad I didn't spend all weekend at home.
Today: Had a lot of work to get done, but got very little done. Had a hard time concentrating. Fortunately, I'm ready for my presentation in marketing class tomorrow, although I should probably run through the slides one more time.
