10 minutes early but still a little rushed. It's part of the old habit. The rushing comes right at the end, and seems to be a way of compensating for not getting up right away and therefore having to hurry at the end of the routine. I'm going to keep going and get one inch closer tomorrow.
It's spring break at school now, and the cherry blossoms are streaming down like rain. I have all free time all day in school. Most of the teachers take their vacation days during this time, so it's quiet in the staff room, but I like it. I already made the plans for classes, so I get to do whatever I like as long as I stay on school grounds.
So, what did I do today? I spent the morning studying and writing kanji. I took a walk to get my lunch and I spent the entire afternoon, from 1:30 to 5pm, playing the violin. After I came home after work, I went almost straight to Aikido. That's all I did today. I am at once full and empty. There's more I could say about that topic, but that's for another post.
Total minutes early: 75
I tell of my day-to-day experiences in a funky Japanese town from my American viewpoint. This blog could also be called 'Bizarro World', 'Notes From Kyushu, a Smaller Island', or 'Teaching English in Japan: Smash Your Ego in 10 Easy Lessons."

You sure seem to life a carefree life. I wish I had that again.
Glad to see that this getting to work early thing is becoming easier. In no time, it will be the norm.
Well, it's good for now, but I know that there are big decisions just around the corner. If I relax and think, "Ah, now I don't have to work hard anymore," then I think I will be in for a big shock later. So I do have that on my mind.
My life is full now because I'm either doing something or traveling to do something. But it not busy, in the negative sense of the word. Did you mean that your life got complicated at some point -- like getting married or having kids, things like that?
The early thing is still challenging. But I trust what you say that it will get easier. Thanks for helping me.
