Vacation Time

Vacation time is never what I expect it to be. I thought I would have lots of time to do nothing, to read, and to wander. But I have been going nonstop since school got out. Lots of old friends from last time in Japan are visiting, Fulbrighters from around the country are stopping by, and I'm having dinner with Kyoto friends almost every other day. My long vacation is quickly shortening. I guess I don't mind so much except that I have come to realize that spending lots of time with people is extremely tiring. I guess with all my studying I have gotten quite used to being alone, and now that I have to deal with people again I find I often get frustrated with them. I guess I need to relearn my kindergarten lessons on cooperation.
