1/16

Officially sick...again. I have a horrible cough that keeps me up at night and today is our final test for my Monday classes. It looks grim...but in my fever redden haze I decided to start doing art again. I want to make a portfolio for my time spent in Japan. Also I might try my hand a writing fiction again. I haven't done it since high school. It just seems to be a time for picking up old habits again; the violin (haven't done that since middle school), short fiction writing (haven't done that since high school) and art (ok I've been doing that but I haven't done anything big since coming to Japan.) I think I know why I've started all of these things. It is cold as a witch's britches here and I think I just want an excuse not to go outside in the cold.
