Tired...

I am sorry I haven't been writing lately, I am so exhausted all of the time that I usually come home, finish my work and crash. I feel like I am going through the motions everyday...I am not really enjoying myself...

But lets talk about better things first--Kamakura. Visiting the historical city of Kamakura was my first major outing while in Japan. Kamakura was, for a short while, the capital of Japan and has many historic sites. One of the major attractions is the giant Buddah Daibatsu--which is over 750 years old! I even got to go inside!! I also saw a number of large and small temples and tried yakisoba for the first time (made by myself in a griddle that was built into the table). We also visited the fame Kamakura beach...which was quite seaweedy and choppy--not exactly ideal. The weather was great and it was a wonderful trip. We were supposed to go to Yokohama on Sunday, but it ended up raining...not that it mattered, because we slept through all of Sunday anyway. You see, after we left Kamakura we checked out the club scene in Shibuya with some other Camp A-ers...and discovered that the trains stop at midnight and start again at 5 am...I think you can figure out how the the story finishes.
We are almost done with our second week of camp. This week we have a ton of boys who are very loud and have a hard time following directions, but they are all great. Tomorrow is our field trip to TOKYO DISNEYLAND! I am very excited about it...

Sounds pretty good doesn't it? What do I have to complain about? ...The truth is I am awfully lonely (even though I am with Brittney 24/7)...Brittney and I aren't very close and that is making it hard for me to have any fun...we don't really understand each other nor are we very compatible as friends. Work is hard, and I barely get enough sleep at night with all of the programming I have had to do lately. I miss home, that is the biggest thing--I miss my friends, my co-workers, my church and my family. I am awfully miserable right now...but I am trying not to show it to the kids.

Anyway, I hope all is well back home! I am sorry this is such a short post, but I must get back to work! I'll post pictures of Kamakura soon!!! <3
