brain out, leave a message

I’m braindead, meming so I don’t fall asleep (it’s not working)

EDIT: My bad. This was nabbed from the lovely etsba

Ten years ago, I:
1. Was at school in Japan (so much has changed…)
2. my maturity was regessing due to being in a Japanese school
3. Had no idea how big a role the Pan would play in my life.

Five years ago, I:
1. was in a new relationship with a soulmate
2. was scheming to qualify for Youth Allowance (gov. payments for students)
3. was starting to develop some self-esteem

One year ago, I:
1. was planning a trip to China to visit Tracy for Christmas
2. was meeting new people, and making real friends here – something totally unexpected.
3. was cursing the combination of living in Japan with my libido.

So far this year, I:.
1. have been to China, America and Thailand…and have booked tickets to Vietnam.
2. have been accepted in a volunteer project
3. rethought my entire ‘life after Japan’ plan.

Yesterday, I:
1. visited a friend in hospital
2. joined friends in a casual dinner which ended up being quite expensive (and agreed to translate the menu)
3. won ¥1000 in a janken game.

Today, I:
1. slept later in lieu of a shower
2. categorised music from nigelw
3. am longing for my bed with its fluffy doona and comfy pillow.

Tomorrow, I will:
1. get up very slowly, all the while luxuriating in the public holiday goodness
2. finish my Thailand update
3. (what? I have to do more?!!) face my inbox….maybe (extended memory not so good for those of us who need a good push to reply to e-mails)

In one year, I will:
1. have finished my second JET year, and maybe started my third year.
2. survived a second whole Japanese winter. Brrrr… *shivers at mere thought*
3. have been a bridesmaid for the first time ever.

In five years, I will:
1. be who knows where
2. doing who knows what,
3. with who knows who (who knows knows a lot, you know *grin*)

EDIT: I really was braindead. I don’t even remember finishing this, and surprise, surprise, found a few mistakes upon second look.

you’re considering a third year? Is that part of the rethinking of the ‘life after japan’ plan?

Yup, totally. Now that I’ve let go of the idea of ‘getting a career happneing” before I turn thirty, and now that I don’t plan to settle back home anytime soon, there’s no rush to leave Japan, and the way thing are at the moment, there is more than just the money for me to stay for. Therefore it’s worth considering. i suspect thoug, it will all come down to how I feel the day the application to recontract is due :-/
You’re definitely leaving next year, aren’t you?
