Hi from Japan

It has been a while since I have made a blog....there really isn't much reason for not doing so except that too many things have happened over the past few months.

I am a strange person. I warm up slowly to people only to show them just the shell of me. However, that changed recently. As the title implied I am in Japan. Well I have been here for two and a half months now and have pretty much settled in. I am at a chemical company and due to legality I an bound to secrecy, lol. Anyway, I am currently an international intern with two other and another two Japanese interns. Out of the five of us I have the youngest supervisor who is really pushing me to learn about his work. There is also the annoyance of his interest in my personal life. I have been asked several times what I thought of a particular employee and have been asked to compare him with the only male intern who I just happened to spend a lot of time with (There are currently lots of complications between us two and if he wasn't there I might have collapsed a while ago.). I know perfectly well what that means but I am acting ignorant of it. Then there is also the team leader who is a notorious womanizer apparently. As long as I play on the safe side I should be able use that to my advantage and observe how he does business. So yeah, my love life is empty and from the day that I said I was single I have lost control of it....until I leave Japan anyway.

I don't know what I should be doing. I am just an intern at the company so I am ambitious and work hard. I still don't know what the hell I am doing though I am just doing repetitive work. I don't do analysis, I just produce the data but now I am beginning to help out my with my supervisor's work. It is funny though, what I am starting to do for my supervisor is not that different from what I do at home; the only difference is the complexity of what is wanted. I do hope that my supervisor don't use my language straight onto his communications. There was also the funny thing that he was asking me what he should do in response to technical exchange with another company in France. I don't even know why he was asking me about that when I am just an intern.

Oh, the other international intern likes the only male intern. As a result, she is ignoring me....big time. Hey I don't really like the guy but because I am the only person that kind of understands him and because he kind of rely on me and vice versa that's why we are close. We are both searching for our other half and because of that nothing can really happen between us. lol, It is pretty ironic though. The first guy that I actually find myself relying on apart from my brother is not and will never be my other half. Am I destined to be alone until I'm 30?? Anyway, I got Tuesday to look forward to.....the guy that my team leader kind of introduced me to as a possible boyfriend will be coming to the company. I can handle the guy just not my team leader.

It is actually 0134 in Japan right now. I have been up from 7 am this morning, though my sleep wasn't good for two nights running. I am tired and I am tidying my room tomorrow, yeah when I wake up, after many days of saying that I would do so. Anyway, I want to clear up some space to study and I can't do it while I'm tired. Am going to bed now.
