I admit to feeling quite recharged after visiting home. I accomplished quite a bit of light reading, purely for pleasure, which is something I hadn't been able to do for some time. Though, as I was doing so, a few passages from the texts spoke to me.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

Be careful of love. It'll twist ( Read more... )

If the weather holds, I believe the mountain climb will take place Wednesday. Thus far, it has been nice in the mornings and afternoons, then rains during the evenings ( Read more... )

Yukimura. I told you I would not lose again. I find the score to be rather fitting. I suppose though all our matches will end up that way. We'll definitely have to play in Germany. I'll make sure the courts are clear ( Read more... )

Yukimura. Dinner tomorrow evening?

Yanagi, if you would, please put in the necessary paperwork so that I may travel abroad for spring break. After dinner with Yukimura this evening, I find that going home might be in my best interest.

Given recent events,I assured my father that things were fine here, even though, by all standards they are not. In any case, I have canceled my plans to go into Tokyo this weekend. However, I am positive that Saeki will return safely ( Read more... )

Being snowed-in gives one a chance to think too much or, in my case, get caught up with everything school and company related so that I am positively bored. While a favourite of mine, another read through of "Lord of the Flies" has left ( Read more... )

My mother called shortly after Atobe left this evening. I think she assumed that Yanagi would answer. I threw her off guard apparently. She informed me that my father was doing well in the position I've entrusted him with. Of course, I already knew that by checking the accounts daily. I admit surprise at how adept he is. I think my grandfather knew ( Read more... )

I officially took over my grandfather's firm over the weekend. It went smoothly due to the months upon months of preparation. I have no doubts of my abilities to maintain current levels of productivity until I have graduated. Though, I would like to increase it by 5% over the next two years. I've put my father in charge of European and both ( Read more... )
