happy place

Today I took half a day off to go to BANQUET's 5th Anniversary Live. And for the first time in a long time, I don't feel like complete and utter shit on a Sunday night (my kids classes today were a nightmare as per usual but let's not talk about that again).

Aside from BANQUET, it's also due to the fact that I was able to meet friends again after a long time and said friends came to BANQUET with me. I can't say it enough but thank you so much. And that goes for my other friends, too (you know who you are). You always humor me, listen to me, let me rant and rave and drag you along to things. Thank you for dealing with this me and putting up with all my shit. ILU.

I'm not going to talk about the live here because I said I won't be talking about fandom stuff on this blog (and I have my separate place for BQT related stuff). Just... I enjoyed it a lot. It felt good.

I will enjoy these few moments of rest an respite in my happy place.

harder, faster, bigger stronger - work it

I guess the topic for tonight's blog post will be work. So as to fit in with what Pippa , Tiff and Gabby talked about on their respective blogs (please go and check them out if you'd like, fantastic writers and even more fantastic and wonderful people). This will be a semi happy post, I guess? Might change in the process but we'll see.

sleep is for the weak(end)

On my first day of university orientation, the professor laid out a schedule and during his presentation he said "as you can see sleep is for the weak...end [weekend]" and yoo.... uni. lol Really random and short entry for today but I'd be interested in hearing your stories about, well, sleep. I talk to my students a lot and especially in Japan, I always feel like people sleep way too little. Like, I can run on 4-5 hours of sleep. But I won't be very uh let's say functional. And I can't do it for an extended period of time or my health will just go down the drain. However it's the average amount of time most of my students here sleep. Do Japanese people sleep more deeply somehow? And is being able to fall asleep anywhere and anytime a genetic thing? lol  How long do you need to sleep? I personally like to get 6-8 hours. 6 hours are the bare minimum and as of late it's the longest time my body will LET me sleep without waking up. If I can I will go back

Knowledge is power (aka Wissen ist Macht)

Some of you might be wondering why my blog title is what it is and to be honest, I don't remember who exactly gave me that nickname but it was before I got my teaching certificate at some point... People were telling me I was like Wikipedia, just in human form. I had a lot of knowledge, sometimes random or useless knowledge, sometimes useful. It's always been a thing for me, to accumulate knowledge, to try and keep myself informed. Some people saw it as showing off (aka "Klugscheisser" in German) and others appreciated it. (This post contains thoughts on mental health issues. If that's something you might not want to read, please do not continue beyond this point).
