Ready for the Rest of the Summer!

This weekend I decided to relax and take it easy, as everything was starting to catch up with me and I was pretty tired.  On Friday evening we headed to Yokohama with the hope of riding the giant ferris wheel and a roller coaster that goes underwater (both at Cosmoworld), but as we were arriving there was lightning and then it started raining so the rides were closed.  So we grabbed some food and then headed home, as we were rather tired!

Saturday morning we slept in, then spent most of the day at wifi, where I worked on my homework for the summer (I have to write 10 papers to get credit).  I got quite a bit done, which was awesome!  Then we ran a few errands on base, and went to a movie, then out for supper.

Sunday we headed the beach, and then went to Kamakura to do some shopping, where I purchased quite a few souvenirs.  Then Sunday evening we had our weekly set up at the center in preparation for this week.

I am on my lunch break on Tuesday as I write this, and I am already feeling tired again, although I'm not really sure why.  I guess I need to start going to bed earlier!  I am still trying to run, but as it gets hotter and hotter it gets harder and harder to motivate myself.  We climb Fuji this Saturday, so I need to keep up on my running this week though.  Last week we did filming for our video for the second round of the lip dub contest.  I will try to post the finished video (and the one from the first round) next week if possible.  Tonight we have "mandatory fun" (something fun, but that we are required to do) as bonding during the second week that many people experience burnout.  They are keeping what we are doing a secret though!  Then Wednesday night is our weekly whole-staff meeting, and then it's already almost the weekend!  Crazy how fast the weeks seem to be going by, although the days sometimes seem to drag on.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!  If you haven't seen on my Facebook page, we are planning a Labor Day/Welcome Home party.  I'm attempting to do everything on a website that my sister just told me about, so here's the link to check it out!  Let me know if you come across any issues, as this is my first time using it.  Hope to see you there!
