Mount Fuji 富士山 Fuji san

At last! I managed to snap the pics of Mount Fuji from the 6th floor of Rikkyo University Building No.14 yesterday (10th December).. I saw it 2 times before from the same place but I didn't have my camera at that time..

The weather is getting colder by the day.. Hu.. Since I came from tropical weather country, temperature below 10'C is already too cold for me.. Wonder what will happen to me when winter comes.. Temperature will definitely be around 0'C, more or less.. Luckily I live in the Kantou region.. It's not that cold here compared with the northern region of Tohoku and Hokkaido (of course.. Hehe..)

Well, that's about it in this post.. Enjoy the pics I took of Mount Fuji.. ^^

Trying to get a hold of myself..

Lately, I can feel that my study mood is getting farther away from me.. Before this, I enjoyed doing my review or homework but now, I only do them for the sake of scoring a test or to receive points for passing it up. And I'm officially addicted to the internet! Hu..

Well, I tried to be as far away as I can from my laptop on Sunday but I only manage to stay away from it for only 6 hours.. It was a good start though.. and by staying away from it, I managed to complete my essay due on Friday, one short report about a movie (My neighbor Totoro) and a drama (At Home Dad) (both written in Japanese) due on Wednesday, reading comprehension due today (Monday) and I read a few news articles in Yomiuri Shimbun (by reading it, I learnt 9 kanji compounds)..

After 6 hours, I felt like I want to turn on just for 10minutes to tweet or to check my mail box but end up surfing for nearly an hoyr.. I will try harder to control and get a hold of myself after this.. Sometimes, by recalling the reason why I'm in Japan can help me a little now and then but I need a real thing/reason (which I don't know what it is) to put me back on the right track.. Hmm..

Weird weather.. 変な天気 Hen Na Tenki..

Wow.. Yesterday's (3rd December) weather was the weirdest one I've experienced.. It started with a heavy rain early in the morning.. I went out of my dorm around 7.50am to catch the 8.02am Commuter Express 通勤急行 (Tsuukin Kyuukou) train.. It was drizzling during my walk to the station.. I didn't even need my umbrella at that time..

Later in the afternoon, I went to Shinjuku with my friend to meet our Sensei there. We noticed that it was getting warmer in the afternoon.. If I'm not mistaken, the temperature was around 23'C to 25'C..

At 3pm, I went to the Japanese Culture class and my sensei said the temperature will drop significantly after this.. After class, wind started to blow strongly..

As of now (12.34am, local time), the temperature hovers around 13'C..

In my opinion, the combination of rain, warm weather, strong wind and coldness is a weird one.. Hehe.. Oyasumi..
