Spring Forward

Finally the semestral break in earnest, after the Roman Law Conference and a two-week internship. We are still having those kinds of days - mornings with cold, gray skies - when you have to struggle to get out of bed before noon.

Hurtling through tunnels and countryside as I write this, on the shinkansen to Tokyo. Hoping to get a lot of writing done whenever I'm not chasing one of the thousand and one cool things I can do, buy, or eat in the city.

Forecast bumps up sakura season by one more week. I'm tired of waiting for spring, so the plan is to get up early mornings for a walk by the seaside, get back to get some writing done before lunch, go to classes, more writing in the library, and then dinner at home. Then more writing before going to bed with a book.
