Yep I don't pay tuition but I pay everything else. With that money.
Yeah I'll most likely only be there for a semester and I'm leaving in August so no summer jobs, unfortunately. I'll ask around for ESL stuff but I heard that Sendai doesn't have much work in general (how true this is, and how true it's just "Japanese people are too picky about which jobs they get", I don't know) but I'll look in other towns and ask people too...
Paranoia "has" causes but the real reason is often that your body is so sick (without you realizing it) that it's making your mind sick as well. By far most people who get panic attacks actually get them just a few hours, or the next day or two, after they've eaten shit food (usually sugar / caffeine) and they don't even realize it, for example. It's the same for stress. You might have, logically, every reason to be stressed but the fact is, a sick body handles stress nowhere near as good as a healthy one; stuff like junk food preoccupies your body (battling the "poison") so you can't think or react properly to the same events anymore. Paranoia is the same. Who's paranoid? People struck by sudden, irrational fears; people constantly thinking of previous bad events. That stuff, along with things like focusing on your mistakes instead of your successes, happens to you WAY more often and uncontrollably when you eat shit food. Basically I'm coming to terms with (through both reading and self-experimenting) that our emotions aren't actually ours, they're mostly controlled by what we eat : /
Unfortunately no one ever believes stuff like this because 99% of people refuse to stop eating the bad food and see it for themselves. They just go "no, I'm sad because my life sucks, that won't change". Yeah my life really sucks too BUT if I don't eat ANY bad food, if I'm eating fermented foods every day on top of that, then suddenly it doesn't get to me anywhere near as much and I switch from pessimistic/hopeless to optimistic/hopeful. And I'm actually happy during the day.
I keep telling her to keep a food journal but she just refuses...
Yeah, it seems like no one else wants the stable job so far so as long as they're fine with her only being able to work for a few months, she should be able to get it!
