Although I've been home for a few weeks, work has kept me quite busy. The holidays were wonderful. I didn't get as much translated or read as I would have liked, but I did get to spend some time in Hanover with my mother's side of the family. Munich was nice. I rather wish it would have snowed. It would have made the Christkindlmarkt much more gorgeous. Belatedly, I hope everyone had a good holiday.

I also have spent quite a bit of time in the building that Arthur and Yanagi found and repurposed into a library. I've been cataloging items, shifting, shelving. It is quite relaxing and makes for a good break in between chapters. Though the building isn't as big as El Ateneo in Buenos Aires, I still find myself getting lost in the stacks.

Christkindl Markt was nice, although the lack of snow rather caused the atmosphere to be lacking. The weather in Munich has been shifting between rain and somewhat cloudy. I was hoping for snow when we make the trek to Neuschwanstein, but I see the snow is only supposed to hit after we have left for Paris. Even there, the schedule is for rain. I suppose I should be thankful we had plenty of it in Japan before we left for break.

Thank you, everyone, for the gifts. Sengoku, yours amused me greatly. Saeki, Oshitari. I almost think you believe I am unstylish. Regardless, they came in handy for an impromptu board meeting I had. Ryoma, Atobe, Oishi, Kabaji. Your gifts will be very helpful in the future. Sanada, I suppose this means I'll turn your gift against you at practices in the spring. I look forward to it. Ohtori, the music was a good choice. Yanagi...I'm not even going to ask.

The flight thus far have been problem free. We are taking the train to Paris. I think Karupin has had enough of flying for awhile, but there's only one more for when we return on the 2nd. There simply wasn't enough time to head to Vienna and Copenhagen over break. Not with family obligations. Speaking of which, they went a lot better than I expected.

Hope the holidays are pleasant for you all.

Kyushu was nice. After some business, I sneaked away and climbed Kirishima on a whim. It wasn't as daunting as the Matterhorn, but it was a good climb nonetheless. I would like to go climbing again when I take a trip back to Germany; perhaps on the next extended break. I haven't decided yet.

Classes are going well. I still feel quite bored, but I suppose that happens when you do outside reading for the fun of it. Speaking of that... Oshitari, I have come across a leather-bound edition of "The Complete Romances of Voltaire". I thought you would be interested in it and regardless of your disinclination for gifts, I am quite sure you will find this one appealing. When you have a moment, perhaps I could drop it off.

Saeki. Sanada. When would you like to spar?

(ooc: Yuushi's gift is like this.)

I was successful in winning both of my matches this morning. Both hard fought of course. Ryoga is quite the challenge, but I have had more difficulty playing the likes of Atobe, Sanada, and Echizen.

Yukimura, whenever you have a free moment, I would like to play a match with you.
