Osaka and Universal Studios

No Japanese on this post, not really had time. I got a new job in addition to my 4 days at Shane i'll be an English Tutor at Waseda University starting next week. Its a bit of a different style of teaching and should be good experience as well as looking good on my CV but I'm a bit worried about my time management, or should I say my lack of time management. In addition to the job i've started a teaching Diploma that's taking up quite a bit of my time and which I should really be doing more work on. Consequently I've dropped down to one Japanese lesson a week and given up any thoughts of learning another language for now.

On a normal week I'll be trying to fit in about 30 hours at Shane, 11 hours or so at Waseda with a few hours for administration, 10 hours of study for the teaching course, an average of 1-2 hours of private lessons, training at the dojo and traveling between all these places. Waseda is only for 10 weeks though so if I keep that in mind maybe I can get through it without neglecting any areas too much.

Despite being busy I'm pretty happy at the moment, I managed to squeeze in a holiday to Osaka and Universal Studios for a few days. You should be able to see the photos by clicking on the title of this post. Also my teacher at the dojo has mentioned doing a MMA fight to me again so I'm contemplating trying one in the summer so long as I can drop a few Kg to get in a lower weight division. Whether I do it or not it's nice to think that all the training I've done has improved my fighting and that my teacher believes I'm good enough to compete.
