Still Limping
Yep. That is right still hobbling along on one foot. The swelling and bruises are completely gone and the pain was almost gone about a week ago, but recently the pain has come back something fierce.
I was just about walking on it normally and now am back to barely putting any weight on it.
On the plus side it seems like all the walking on the side of my foot seems to be building up an arch on that foot. Now I just need to make one on the other foot.
Consequently I have not been able to go back to the martial arts class which has got me pretty bummed.
My class is going well. I aced the first quiz and got a 96 on the first Exam. The second quiz I think I may have missed a couple, but no worries. I have got the take home questions to do for the second Exam next Wednesday.
Other than that I have started trying to read a manga in the Japanese. Wow, talk about tough. I am starting to get the basics of how to look up things, but putting all the little pieces together are eluding me so far. Just reading the kanji though seems to get the majority of the meaning across. But the other hiragana seem to make up most of the modifiers and context. So I could be misinterpreting things completely. I have almost made it through the first page though.
I just want to repeat how much I love Netflix. It is an awesome service. So far I have not experienced any slow down or with holding of titles to reduce the number I am renting. That is probably because I am not getting the current, popular titles. Most of them are foreign films that probably are not rented that often. I have been able to watch some fantastic films though. A recent good one is The Happiness of the Katakuris. A japanese indie film, it is best described as a Comedy/Horror/Musical. I will let you picture how that works, but watch it if you can, it is good.
