It is pretty much too hot to live. Since last week, temperatures have been in the 30s during the day... tonight, it's 31 degrees Celcius despite it being 10:40pm. I have the odds stacked against me: I have sensitive skin, poor circulation (and thus a poor body heating-cooling system), and I am from Canada, where it generally doesn't get this hot for so long and with such humidity. Because of that, my skin has been itching, like it's swelling and getting too tight for me; I absentmindedly scratch it and cause a rash of small bumps to appear on my arms. I've also lost my appetite due to heatsickness. I no longer have any desire whatsoever to live in a country that lacks a decent winter.
In recent news, I went to Shiga prefecture and Kyoto with two of my friends. It's my last trip in Japan, as I only have two weekends left, during which I have to finish packing, cleaning my apartment, and getting rid of the stuff I can't or have no desire to take with me to Canada. I have taught most of my coworkers (including the other foreign teacher, heh) the word "penultimate", because that's what this week is.
