Exercise & Stuff

My body is weird...I exercise like hell for the longest time, like go running three times a week for two weeks (just an example, ive been running longer ;), i dont see any changes until i stop running for a week! How do i know? I havent been able to run for a couple of days now due to a common cold ive had. And now i noticed that ive actually lost weight. Im on the 70 mark, and last time i was here i looked very sick. (bad eating habits + fervorant exercising). Now i dont look sick, ive gained muscle everywhere and i eat what i want to eat and drink beer and other spirits. But i go running! I think its the healthiest thing u can do, and its fun if u have music. U have to have music. In less than a year Ive broken 1 1/2 of earphones ( i think the new onew i bought in japan are starting to give in to all the stomping and throwing around) which has to be a record somewhere. I have to start taking better care of my things.
+ I just bought the second volume (and last) volume of my text book so i have loads of new grammar ahead of me. One trick with grammar i have found is that if i browse thru the book now and again and read about the grammar two-three lessons ahead i rememer it better when im actually at that lesson and its easier to understand. Mostly because i mightve heard it in one of the many J-dramas i watch (purely for its educational value ofcourse ;)). Japanese grammar must be one of the easiest in all linguistic history, whats all this fuss about japanese being difficult?? yes, its difficult but not more than any other language. Have U tried learning french??! Its bloody hard, that is...end of story! A week of all partying is coming up soon, have to get ready for that. Starts today actually, going to a friends "moving out" party. The guy is going to Poland to study medicine, good luck john! hope u make it! Another funny thing ive noticed talking to japanese about learning japanese (and this might be true for any language), they make it out like japanese is really difficult and only native japanese can speak it to its perfection. Which i think is true for other languages aswell. If u werent raised in sweden u might not be able to play with the language to the extent of natives. Which i have discovered to be very fun indeed. I love languages! The only thing about japanese is that the whole "respect" thing colors and forms the language into what it is. Layers upon layers of social standing and politeness towards ur peers and seniors, make it impossible to forget who and what you are. A love and hate relationship does grow out of liking japan. But i think understanding why it is so makes it easier to melt. And also, arent love and hate relationships the best and most fulfilling ones?
