New Start

Sorry, I failed to post something in March but in my defense, things were on this side of crazy in the 3rd month of this year (and really, who even reads this thing still?). Now that the new school year is starting, things will hopefully become a little less insane (once I settle into a new routine/schedule).

Things have been crazy at work, as you can imagine but for the most part it wasn't a bad kind of crazy. Just busy. But the schedule will change and hopefully that will lessen the burden a bit. I'm trying to be positive here. But I have the feeling that by Saturday night I will sit here like "OH GOD I HATE IT" lol. Yeah so much for being optimistic. I guess I just can't do it.

Health wise things have been...kind of bad, I guess? I sprained my knee a few weeks ago and boy has it pulled a number on me. I can't exercise yet (can't even walk properly quite yet...stairs suck) and so I'm putting on weight ... weight I should really be losing because of my other health problems. Wheee. So you can probably imagine what all of this is doing to my mental health.

I'm scared because this is still my pre-yakudoshi year. Next year is supposed to suck. This year has been extremely terrible so far, so what will next year bring? Ahahaha.

Fandom wise I guess things are quite okay. Some ups some downs, the usual. It's nice to have both an online and offline kind of fandom life. One of the reasons why I'm hesitant to go back 'home' as my parents and sister would like me to in the not too distant future.

But that's...something to talk about on another day.

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).

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

Okay, I give in, here's a blog - Kira Life Update

Okay, so Blogtober 2.0, if you will? Or if I'm allowed to do that lol I noticed that blogging about fandom related stuff only is hard and maybe not all that interesting for people, so I decided to make a more personal blog after all. And after interacting with Pippa on her blog, I found that THAT was what I do miss from LJ and so yeah, here goes. This first entry is an update on what's been happening in my life - in a nutshell. For the future, prepare for a bunch of random stuff, rants and what not. I will most likely be talking about: life and work fandom stuff stuff that is on my mind living in Japan food More specific fandom stuff will still be on the other blog but fandoms not covered by that (yeah yeah I have too many fandoms, I know) will be on this one.
