The April Incipients

April started like any other months in my life, except the fact that I am now going to Japan.

I've just stepped out of the working community a few days back and it was a liberating feeling, being a bum once again. Of course it won't be for long, I have a Nihongo class coming up and it will be up till the end of June. After being an office worker for almost a year, to be back being a student was really refreshing and can make you easily excitable.

For example, you're flicking through your channels looking for a Jap show (probably as a source of excitement, laughter, followed by extreme flatulation) and then you hear someone say "Hai" or something like that. You immediately stay on that channel, even though it wasn't Japanese after all and watch it anyway, since you were already in an excited state after hearing the word "Hai" which obviously was not.

Each day was spent like that, going to Jap class, listening to Jap music (sometimes Korean, I love their ballads), watching Jap shows, buying Jap anime DVDs, talking about Jap things, watching aforementioned Jap DVDs, and once in a while, eating Jap food... with 'while' being 'once a week' or so, it depends on the budget and motivation.

Yes, April's the month of incipients. At least for me it is. I've been dreaming of going to Japan, and buttering me up like this is not much different from adding firecrackers on a nuclear bomb. Might not have any effect, but once it goes off it'd be a devastating, glittery, huge, pretty sight. I've expected to explode upon reaching Japan.

Although you'll have to ask the witnesses to attest to that, but I'm pretty sure I went off quite nicely with loud noises, pops and crackles, a boom and a smile. Japan here I come!
