Back home! Well, technically, I got in Monday afternoon, but I needed to get back on Japan time.

And I got back just in time for my second round of exams. I have a meeting with a couple of my professors later today to show them the work I've done while I've been gone. I didn't fill as many sketchbooks as I did while in Paris, but it's still a good amount. The Poison Garden accounted for quite a bit of one. Thankfully I'll have some time after exams and before I leave for New York to finish a few landscape paintings. I've already completed some rough outlines, so once they're reviewed and I get approval, I'll be able to start on them.

I'm not that disappointed in my quarterfinal exit at Wimbledon. I didn't train as much on grass before the tournament as I did playing on clay before the French. I have a bit more time for hard court training before the US Open, so I think, depending on my draw, I should get to at least the quarterfinals again.

Speaking of New York, are you coming with me Renji? I'm looking at hotels already, so I'd like to know your plans.

Exams weren’t as much a factor in my choice not to attend wimbledon, but I can’t imagine returning straight into the exam crunch to be entirely pleasant.

I won’t be around much as I’ve plans to leave as soon as my exams end, but naturally I’ll be seeing you in New York for the US Open, Yukimura-kun.

You did reasonably well, considering, and I am satisfied. However, please expect a 30 minute lecture sometime soon.

I will accompany you. At this point, I may as well leave my job at KK, but they seem reluctant to let me go.... as such, I have a lot of leeway at the moment.

I'd love to see your artwork, if it's the sort of thing you would like to share. ☆

You did well - Wimbledon had a few strange upsets. Grass is very unpredictable. ☆

It was a great performance, Yukimura-san. ♥

If you have time, I'd be happy to be a hitting partner. Don't promise to be Rafa, but I'm always game for a match.

I'm surprised that you and Shiraishi-san didn't get detained for stealing poison.

You had a very good showing at Wimbledon. It seemed a year of upsets and surprises.

Making it to quarterfinals in a grand slam seems pretty epic.


Eh, I'm sure your professors will be lenient if you've done enough.

I think I've gotten over my jet lag, it was hard to fall asleep at first.


Exaaaaams...I can't say I'm not slightly procrastinating again. Do you have to draw anything specific?


I'll be sure and try to watch some of your matches, though the Us open is usually the worst to watch live. >_<

good job, buchou!!!

when i get back, can i come and see the start of your paintings?

[hiro_shi]

Welcome back, Yukimura-kun, you did well. And from what it sounds like, I do hope you're taking care of yourself despite the onslaught of demands.

[naniwaspeed]

Awesome showing, as always~ It'd be cool to see you play live again. It's just been so long.

From everything that Kura has said, it sounds like you had fun~ ♥

You were fantastic. Congratulations on making it as far as you did. You certainly have earned the rest until the next.

We would love to see some of your paintings if you would be willing to share.
