Insomnia

I can't sleep for some odd reason tonight, so I'll just sit here and blog about my adventures and thoughts that have been going through my head the past few days. There are a lot of important decisions that I will need to make in my life very soon, and I can't get them out of my head. Well, first I'll write about my adventures in Shibuya...

I had the craziest idea to travel to Shibuya on a Wednesday night. I needed some excitement, but I think it was a little too much excitement because I was overwhelmed by the rows and rows of shops and malls. There are tons of malls. It brings back memories of shopping in Taiwan, except I think the variety in Japan is much better than in Taiwan. Anyway, I ended up only eating a nice 30USD dinner of eel, which I really enjoyed. It was huge set dinner. The food in Japan is just amazing!

On Saturday, I went again to Shibuya because I wasn't satisfied with the trip I did on Wed. This time was much better because I actually knew where I was going most of the time. It was still really crazy because there were tons of people walking around, and I was just a small person in the crowd. I managed to get origami paper that I was had no luck finding in Chiba. My biggest find was two CDs that I absolutely adore. The first CD is of Richter playing Fasschingswank aus Wien. It's a brilliant recording. It really makes me want to find a piano here to practice, but it's impossible to find a piano. When I get my own place, hopefully I'll be able to get a nice piano. For right now, I guess I'll just have to live without practicing. The other CD is of Pollini playing Chopin Nocturnes. I swear every time I listen to N. 19, my heart just races. If anyone wants to listen to them, let me know. I've uploaded both of them to mediafire. After buying the CDs, I was just milling around Shibuya trying to see if there were any new clothes that I wanted. I didn't really find any. There weren't any dresses that fit my style. I'm on the hunt for a dress for this winter. I'm pretty sure I'll find something before then... At least I hope so...

Anyway, I have a lot of thoughts on my mind because it's my last year in college, and I have to start planning what I want to do with my life after college. To be honest, I'm quite frustrated by the fact that I don't really know what I want to do. There's one thing that I know I want to do, and that's live in Japan if I can. Now, the tricky part is finding a job that would allow this. I was talking to my cousin about it, but it seems like job opportunities are becoming harder to come by. Also, it's hard to find jobs at my level because I don't have any experience working at all. Most jobs require at least 5 years experience before people would hire them. I'm at a complete loss at how I'm going to go about finding a job. I guess I have a few years to think about it, but I feel like it's just creeping up so fast. Perhaps this is giving me unnecessary stress that I shouldn't be giving myself. I guess I should leave this part of the future to fate because there isn't really anything I can do at the present. I guess I just want everything to be settled with my life. I hate the uncertainty, but I just need to go with the flow.

I will attempt to get some sleep. There are other thoughts on my mind that I want to keep disclosed right now as they involve other people and I wish to discuss with them first. It is a difficult topic, and I really don't know how to go about talking about it... Oh my brain just needs to shut up! Night everyone~ :P
