It's March, and to think it snowed today, after such a long time of no snow. Well, it should return to normal spring weather next week.

Guess what, my scholarship allowance will decrease again starting from next month. Every year the Japanese government has been decreasing the allowance by a little. I'm not really particularly affected since the scholarship is still more than sufficient for me, but I feel for those who are here with their spouse and kids. Most of the graduate scholars here on the Monbusho scholarships have their families with them, and every little bit counts, especially here in Japan.

Seems like I'll be kept busy this month with experiments and stuff, might have to put any travel plans on hold. Was originally hoping to make use of this spring holiday to go to Taiwan or PRC or somewhere. Well, there's still one whole month to try and squeeze something out.

End of the week and no experiments tomorrow, am listening to music in my lab right now. Nakashima Mika.
