Last week was hard. I felt bruised inside all the time.

This week I don't feel bruised anymore. A few things are clicking in my head, language-wise: Today a student asked where I was going, and I knew how to answer; I read the vocabulary assigned for my Japanese class and realized I already knew half of it;and just before I started writing this, I realized that the anime-theme-song-refrain that keeps getting stuck in my head means "I'm in a dream." (Or something close to that, at least.)

Give me a hug.
