after cleaning the contacts on the battery and cables so that there is a clean electrical connection, there appears to be a problem with the starter. i’m not sure which component is the starter, though! my mg manual tells me how to remove it in words, but no pictures…

Eriko had her interview and will receive a visa in one week. ;)

now that my regular evening obligations are gone, i find myself with… lots of free time! that means that the laundry list of items that i tell myself i don’t have time to do can now be… put off for various other reasons!

i’m meeting with my Japanese class for dinner and i’ll probably see Yuki a half dozen more times, but otherwise… my evenings and weekends are free. free to prepare for Eriko’s arrival in less than two months.

i’m patiently waiting for my CS professor to send out the final take-home exam. after that, i have three more japanese classes and then i’m out for the summer!

more and more, each and every day.
