So over the spring vacation I didn't actually do all that much. I stayed around Kesennuma for the most part and just relaxed. It was good times. On the first Wednesday I went with Pierre-M and Tara to Oshima and volunteered my time getting flower beds ready to plant flowers, that was fun. We got to go around and see Oshima too which I hadn't done before. I played Saints Row the Third which is like GTA on steroids. Good game, nice and short too, which is how I feel GTA should have been, with less busy missions to do.
The 2nd Wednesday I went speed dating. This was interesting. We went to a place in Sendai that was the size of maybe 2.5 living rooms or so. We filled out a profile card then sat down and had 2 minutes to talk to the girls. There were about 6 guys and 10 girls. After we finished a round, we had to rate which girls we liked and wanted to talk to. We got 2 approach cards that we could give to show them that we liked them. I got flustered and didn't write anyone's name down so halfway through the first I was trying to figure out who was who. We got a second round with the girls, after which we ranked them in terms of who we wanted a date with. Then they announced the couples. There were 3 couples, but I failed to get a date. It was fun, and I'd do it again, but it costs $50 (5000 yen) for no guarantee, so I'm not sure how willing I'll be to seek it out again. Good experience though!
We played beer pong one night which was fun. I played 3 games and won them all. We went to Kappa Sushi for dinner first, then to my apartment for the beer pong. Kevin, Frisa, and Pierre-A joined in.
I finally got my new computer. Not liking Windows 8 as I feel they catered more to the tablet people and forgot to transition it correctly to PCs/laptops. Slowly getting used to things though, and switching things to match my preferences, so it's cool.
I got a migraine the other day. Of course it had to happen the 2nd day back at work and the 1st real day of teaching with some of my new teachers. One of my friends mentioned that she threw up due to the low pressure + lack of oxygen, so I might try to keep records on that to see if my migraines are related. It would be nice to be able to guess when I'm going to get those things. Such a pain.
On the upside, it's starting to get warmer!
