Been here now for several days, but I can't get myself into the time zone at all. It's 2.51 and I'm wide awake. Tomorrow I'll venture out properly for the first time to meet with a friend in Akihabara. I'll be sure to take some pictures. I reckon I'll be shattered though, so I doubt I'll be looking stunning.
I've applied for a few part time jobs so I'll see where that goes. The international school job won't start until mid-august (that's if I get it!) I called them today, and they took a number and said they'd call back, but they haven't. They did seem a bit busy. She said they might email, and it seems they might have to as it's my boyfriend's phone number and he's going to work tomorrow. I don't have a phone of my own yet. To get a phone I have to register as an alien! That way I can get a little identity card that will enable me to open a bank account and get a mobile phone, etc.
So so far I'm feeling a lot more homesick than I did when I came on trips before. I wish I could convince myself that this was just another holiday, because it's hard staring a whole 14 months in the face and being okay. If I could just force myself to take it day by day I'd probably be better.
Any tips on fighting jetlag and homesickness are very welcome!
I'll post again after Akihabara.
