Downtime needed

I just can't seem to get into the habit of updating weekly so again I am just gonna do a general update of the last 2 and a bit weeks in no specific format. Things have just been so busy lately! As the end of June approaches we head into our busiest time of the year at work so I've been doing extra hours again in an effort to catch up but I just feel like I'm not getting anywhere quickly.

Aside from work, things are busy at home, too. Ivan and I finished our Japanese for Fun and Travel course but have decided to sign up for Japanese 1, which runs for 30 weeks! We went to our first class last week and it looks like a big and lively class so it will no doubt be enjoyable! We've also been going to the Pancake Kitchen every Tuesday night for the J Club, which is a Japanese language/social club with most people from Uni SA but a couple of ringins (like us) and has been fun for the last few weeks.

On top of that it was Grandma's 81st birthday a couple of weekends ago and with Mother's Day last weekend we've been seeing my family a bit. Also, as a followup to my last update I got in touch with an old high school/Uni friend and we went out for lunch and a catchup. It was really great actually, and I'll endeavour to keep in touch with her in the future. With emails being so easy there's no excuse really.

In other news I have my own new gaming addiction I must confess to. Darren gave me the buddy key he got with his Lord of the Rings Online game which meant I had a 10 day trial. Well, after day 1 I was addicted and on the second day of my 10 days Ivan had bought both of us the game so, although time to play it has been limited, it's very addictive once I start and several hours can easily pass.

Anyway, had better get back to work now :(
