I probably needed the sleep anyway

Spent a whole day between JET workshops around the hotel. Informative yes, useful no. Did not learn anything significant enough for me to at least change or form any ideas about the year to come.

Met the Tottori people this morning but missed the chance to see them completely bombed while getting completely bombed myself tonight. I fell asleep between the 8pm general reception and the 9pm meeting time and did not wake up until 11pm. Got no one to blame but myself (although Ranier could've easily tried to wake me up on his way out). Shit shit shit shit.

It's not the end of the world. I hope. I will simply have to make more of an effort to meet the Tottori folks tomorrow... So far, there's Amy, Joe, Erin, Varsha, and those two not so intelligent guys at the lunch table. I tell myself that I needed the sleep anyway, and probably wouldn't have been very sociable or interesting even if I had gone out, but these thoughts failed to comfort. Shit.

Option 1: head upstairs to Mike's room, where there might be an in-room party. Problem: the whereabouts of his room is unknown to me. It's in the forties, which narrows down to near 100 possible candidates.

Option 2: head downstairs to AJET secretariat and play PTY. Problem: it's just simply pathetic.

Option 3: head out and wonder around Shinjuku myself, hopefully starting or joining a group. Problem: I'm just not awake enough to accomplish this.

Option 4: head up and sulk at the bar on the 45th floor. Problem: the price of the bar is too high for self-loathing.

Option 5: sleep it off. I probably needed the sleep anyway. Problem: see above.

Ran into Carry a couple of times today, with whom I had significant conversations and exchanged knowingly flirtatious moves at the pre-departure orientation in LA. Although she looks a bit older than me, she's probably my best shot at getting laid in Tokyo. I'd much rather that this option was available for several other candidates(viz. Jennifer, Mina, Kimi) but with such a short window of time it would be difficult.

I probably wouldn't have been very interesting, or in any shape or form to socialize, plus I saved some money on expensive Tokyo drinks right? I probably needed the sleep anyway.
