Seriously though, a whole month. ooops.
As my mother, and countless others, can attest, I've always been particularly good at putting things off. It's a testament to my ability to pull things together at the last minute that I ever made it through high school, college, and graduate school :D
My current procrastination projects include (but are not limited to):
cleaning my apartment (been putting that one off successfully for weeks!)
packing things up to ship back to Colorado
laundry
looking for a job post-JET (aka after July)
packing for India
...and this blog
My preferred methods of procrastination usually entail books, tv, and internet, in addition to just plain removing myself from the situation entirely by doing something like going in to town ^_^
I don't really have a coherent story to put together for you of recent events, other than to say the school year concluded and started again, I went to Thailand for spring break, went to my last Takayama festival, and today is my birthday :)
In celebration of the successful completion of my third decade, here are some pictures of recent happenings. Time, it would seem, is something you just can't avoid, no matter how good of a procrastinator you are ;)
Part of the book I received from the kids graduating from Kuguno. I had them for all 3 of their junior high years! Amazing doesn't even begin to describe them :)
Archery in Takayama
Noto Coast
The longest bench in the world ^_^
Wat Traimit in Bangkok
Thai Tuk Tuk
Beach on Koh Samui
The lucky roof tile I donated to the Big Buddha temple on Koh Samui
At the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangnan
Which is by FAR the largest party I've ever been to in my life. Probably close to 20,000 people, all along the beach.
Where people do crazy stuff like jumping ropes. That are on fire
Protesters in Bangkok, a few days before things got ugly. They were actually quite friendly when we were there!
Takayama Festival
Furukawa Festival
Sakura at night
Kind of cool to represent Takayama at the Takayama-Denver Sister City party ^_^
Birthday shenanigans
My Colorado birthday cake!!!
Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget to Donate to my project in India!
