I am always tired...

One thing that I didn't expect when I came back to Japan was how tired I always am. Seriously, I day dream about going to bed all day. Sometimes, because of stress, I don't sleep very well through out the night. However, I am not sure why I am tired most of the time. I read in the Ibaraki JET's handbook that one of the reason is.........rice. Many JET's are tired their first few months because of the change of diet and eating more rice. Isn't that interesting? I think another reason, for me at least, is just resting from preparing to come here. Before I left the US I had many jobs with few or no days off, so I think I am still recovering from that. Plus, of course all the bad things that happened this past year. I am enjoying my time of rest though. It hasn't held me back at all. Another reason why I think I am tired all the time is because it is just more tiring living here. I go to the store and I am not sure what all the food is. I don't know how to pump my own gas here. Things that are everyday normal require much more energy from me. I am getting used to it, so maybe I won't be so tired as much.
