Novelty addiction

 

 It's been 2 weeks since I came back from Portugal, back to my "old" routine in Japan. I'm already used to it. And I'm already bored. 

Plus, I finished the translation I spent the last 6 months doing and, despite still being available to translate I haven't had that much translations lately.

I have tried looking for part-time jobs online, there's just not that much available, as incredible as it might seem (if I were in Portugal, I wouldn't be surprised at all).

But anyway, I'm bored. Or is the cold I caught 2 days ago making me feel different? Not sure.

The ways I try to seek novelty aren't novelty anymore.

I read books on different subjects (not necessarily genres...trying to change this...). And at the rate of 1 (sometimes 2) a week (not when I was in Portugal though). I am also reading The Walking Dead comics and every one in a while japanese comics.

As for TV, I am currently watching...2.5 Men, The Big Bang Theory, New Girl, CSI and The Shark Tank (opened my appetite for books on real estate, accounting and etc...and so as the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad - INVEST IN ASSETS, NOT IN LIABILITIES - that I finished reading today, and that said, soon I'll read something on those subjects) 

I have been using social media to talk to other people a lot more. There's a Chinese friend whom I've been talking on a daily basis. I am also much more willing to going out.

Novelty makes your brain engaged, makes you excited, makes you learn - that will make you a more interesting person. Novelty rocks. I need something exciting. But what?

Here's a list.I want something that won't make me spend much money, or any at all.

- Go out to some place or eating out with a friend.

- Get a different part time job (I want to experience things from a different perspective and be with people. Translating is cool, but very lonely and not motivating, as I have previously mentioned, working for real, with real people - like in groups works from school to university, unlike working with an excel file - really excites me.

- Get that someone special. Love drives my drive crazy. It's like I feel this huge feeling of responsibility, that I must take care of that person (hence work and make money) and because of that I feel extraordinarily strong. But this task is not particularly easy, at least for someone like me.

- Pick challenging classes (done).

- Go to classes from different departments (not sure if possible though)

- Watch anime (yes! I need to see something besides american tv shows. And it'll be good for my japanese)

- Read a book in japanese (it's been a long time since the last book I read in japanese...). I already have a few books! ^ ^

Any suggestions, let me know.
