I wake up around 5:40 every weekday morning. A bit later on weekends but I do not sleep until midday.(which I used to) This is a big change as well. It's been such a healthy life. I go to bed sometimes as early as 9:00pm because I'm sooooooo tired from work and cannot stay awake. No surprise my days start early.

Belatedly, I'm learning touch typing. Belatedly. My typing speed and accuracy is OK. But OK is not enough here. I have to be an expert at typing. So I'm modifying my own old way of typing, using every finger of mine. My left hand doesn't move as smoothly as I want it to. It's frustrating.

I cannot wait to go back home during the Golden Week. I've already started to wonder what to buy for little gift for my family and friends, what to talk about my new job. There are a lot to do actually. In less than a week I'll be home, mum!

I've decided to try some Korean cosmetic finally because quite a lot of people around me use it and they just love it. I gave up spending so much money on cosmetics long time ago, but they say Korean cosmetics are so affordable with high cost performance. Why not try then?

So, I'm going to Ginza this week again for books and Korean cosmetics.

Change
Someone once said, a person will not change dramatically after the age of three. It tells us the importance of children education until they become three. It determines how they're going to behave for the rest of their lives.
As for me I was born in a family which everybody's blood type is O. OO to be exact. I don't like talking about blood types and personalities but generally, O's are easy-going and happy people, and they don't care much. As a result, my house is a mess. Well they clean every day and it's neat. But if somebody wishes to come stay at my house, my mum would have to spend half a day cleaning, tidying up and concealing things that she didn't want him to see. They don't throw things they keep. And they keep things for years.
So, I've been a messy person. I've been a this-is-my-mess-and-I-love-it kind of person.
BUT I've changed. I don't know why. I vacuumed the floor three times a week. This is soooooo not me. I even have a small handy mop to clean my desk. I even clean the dust on my electric tea pot with that mop. What is going on? This feels so strange to me.
But this could be temporal. Let's wait and see if my room is still clean after 3 months.

Work Life
I was a full time student and a part time waitress for a year and then unemployed for several months. After that period, I am so glad that now I wake up every morning and know exactly where to go. I've missed that feeling.
After morning session we have lunch break and go get some cheap bento boxes at 380 yen. Have coffee and a chat after lunch and then, afternoon session.
Jump on a train back home and booooooom! I'm back home in half an hour. Quick dinner and review what I did on the day. Take a shower and do this and that. Then I look at the time and it's still eight.
This is great, isn't it? Training is so tough and every day I realize more and more that I've stepped into a unusual industry but I feel like I can even embrace the difficulties.
This is the second week. Two months later I'd be feeling a lot different from now.....

Training: Day Three
The beginning of a new week. Another five full days of in-class training. I'm just so impressed every day because the training is so well-structured and the trainer is really trained.
Everything comes into my head without any difficulties. The trainer talks so much but it doesn't feel like I am being crammed with information.
The more I learn the stronger I feel that what I'm required in this role is so tough and full of responsibility and commitment. Hope I'll fit into this.

Tokyo Sky Tree
Because of Sakura, more people were out in Asakusa. Couldn't find a seat at Starbucks. And people make lines and wait for meal. I always admire Japanese people's patience and passion for food.
The latest assignment is tough..... looks like I have to study really really hard. I have to remember so many abbreviations first..... I cannot understand a word in a meeting. But I will. I will understand in three months' time.

Weekend
What's exciting about my new life is that I have weekends at least for few months from now.
Ever since I graduated from college and started to work full-time, I've always worked over the weekends. When I was in Australia I worked at a restaurant on Sat and Sun, usually all day, taking care of foods and crazy drunken people. I used to envy some Aussie classmates talking about which club they'd go on Friday night.
So, now I can actually plan my weekend, go out and have fun. How great is that?!
But here is the thing. I don't drink so I don't go to bars. I don't like noisy place so I don't go to clubs. I don't like crowds because I'm a bona fide country girl and am not used to be in there. I've been to bars, clubs and shopping in a crowd so many times but I never liked those things. Some people think that I am missing all the fun I could have in life, but none of them fascinates me.
So I realize that I am kind of looking forward to shift work. Then I can go shopping on week days, I will have to wait less. Movies are cheaper. Karaoke is cheaper too. Maybe I can take some lessons and learn new things. I have so many things in mind and they're keeping me really, really happy.

On Probation
First day at work or at school is always exciting. I used to feel nervous on the first day but now that I'm older I know better. I've made good friends and known good people through all my school and work life. This will be another great opportunity for me.
My new work include lots of matters that need to be kept confidential so let me be very careful here. I have to go through very hard training for a while before I officially start to work in a team. Until then, I'm on probation. Lots of homework, reading, and exams.
I try my best not to worry like "what if...." Just as somebody said "Have thought for the morrow". I do not worry. I'll just do what I can do when I can do it.
Weekend's coming!
