Aint no mountain high enough...

Summer school is kicking my ass. I'm suddenly reminded of why I didn't want to continue on to higher education after graduating. Three classes within 8 weeks was not a smart move. Is it just my luck that all my exams are on the same day or a day a part? I cannot wait for this to be over. After a long day of classes and studying, it feels good to come home after and see my mom in the kitchen, making dinner. She sees the tired, expressionless look on my face, comes over and puts her arm around me and says, "It'll pay off one day." I smile at her and think, "how does she do it?" She works overtime and still comes home to cook and clean. I hope I can be like her one day.

Upon sissy's request, I've added Mt. Fujii to the tentative itinerary for Tokyo. She wants to make it a goal to climb it or attempt to. I'm not too crazy about the idea, but hey, seize the day right? Who knows when the next time I'll get the chance to climb such a monstrous volcanic mountain. Hopefully, the climbing conditions will be suitable. I've read that it's typically very windy and cold. At such high altitude, it's going to be hard to breathe. BUT I hear its views are breath taking. Good enough for me =)

I made a deal with sissy...if we climb, we'll have to go to one of the natural hot springs afterward in Hakone. (Hakone, a nearby resort town is known for its abundance of hot springs). Our conversation went something like this:

Sissy: Hell no, I'm not going to a hot spring with you! We have to get naked.
Me: It's okay! We all have the same parts, some bigger, some smaller, but it's all good.
Sissy: No.
Me: You better go, that's the deal or I'll be sad.
Sissy: No. I got a tat on my ass and I aint showin you.
Me: No way!!! Me too!!
