Yesterday, I woke up (at 3:30 AM) exhausted from double-training on Monday.<\/p>\n

I watched a lot of Naruto and finished the battle with Pain. Wow. I have more thoughts on that, but I’ll write about it later.<\/p>\n

I practiced English with my friend Kozo, and then decided to go about ‘relaxing.’ Unfortunately, it was cloudy and supposed to rain.
\nPretty flowers!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLook a little closer….there’s more life!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Musashi Nakahara where I met Kozo didn’t have any parks, so I ended up going to Tamagawa river near my place. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI rode past sports fields, kids playing games, picnickers, and finally found a climbable tree. <\/p>\n

I climbed it, and balanced in the branches, read my book Towers of Midnight for about half an hour. NO CELL PHONE. Okay, I checked it once. I would have left it at home, but I’m still hoping for a fight offer…it’s not coming. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\nMy stomach’s been bothering me lately. -_-; Anyway, it started to rain, so went back home, got my laptop, and took it to McDonalds to write. I bought a tea- it only cost 100 yen. There’s no internet connection, so I was able to focus. I wrote for about three hours. I’m approaching the end of my story! \ud83d\ude00 I’m very excited.<\/p>\n

I went to bed at 9:30. Yesterday was a partial success. I thought about a lot of things. I’m working on calming my mind. I didn’t have work at all because it was a holiday, so the real challenge will be finding the time to get to the tree or park during my normal busy life.<\/p>\n

I still woke up at 3 this morning. \ud83d\ude41 I tried to be “Zen” and not move….I couldn’t do it yet. Even Naruto had to practice a lot ‘not moving’ before he could master Senin jitsu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
