I updated my alien registration this afternoon (and found my bankbook! so I got that changed as well).
Now I really live here. Tomorrow I'll try to leave early so I can stop at the community center and check on the local status of my hobbies. I doubt they have anything, but if they do it's worth knowing about.
I probably can't afford national insurance and I'm absolutely convinced its a load of shit--half the "doctors" in this country operate under the impression that Japanese physiology is unlike any other ppls', that the Japanese are a truly unique race unto themselves, and I'm not interested in funding that kind of ideology even if I could afford it. But I feel that it's only responsible to know the cost, and if it's much cheaper than my understanding, I might just sell out my principles so I can get a new cellphone, since I'll eventually have to get insurance, anyway. Again, I am struck by the fact that my income is enough to cover my life, here, but that prior obligations are too heavy; it seems I've mismanaged that investment known as my education and can't quite make it turn a profit... I wish I could just cut myself free.
I'm supposed to start sending money to America again with my next paycheck, where it will disappear into the whirpool of my shitty life, making it's absence felt but buying no benefit in its stead. But as screwed as I am, now, they say it's worse if you don't pay. So I'm supposed to just bear with it..? I lack the imagination to understand exactly how. Maybe I should just declare bankruptcy, too...
Enough about money. That sort of talk never goes anywhere. Come, now, self, you're just being impatient with the timing. Keep your head down and keep pushing. Obstacles should be expected and hard work should pay off, if it's taking too long for you, just work harder.
