大学院生の生活
I've just finished my first week in grad school, and I'm loving it so far! (Yes, I've been here for almost a month, but classes only started this week.) I forgot how much I missed being in an academic enviornment. Sure, IUC was fantastic, but academics beyond Japanese are fun too.
My department is an interesting mix. There are 11 of us who are ( Read more... ) -
Canadian Adventures Part 2
Thank you spastic Edmonton weather for giving me a bad cold. After several days of mid 40s, we are now back up the 70s, and I feel like crap. I was hoping the sniffling the last few days was only allergies, but yesterday I started feeling like shit and got a slight fever. Feeling better today, but still planning on taking it easy.
Since I'm stuck ( Read more... ) -
Canadian Adventures Part 1
Hello again everyone! I have been in Canada since August 10th, and things have finally settled down enough that I have time to recap my adventures! If you read my tweets, you probably have an idea of what's been going on, but if not here's a recap.
My adventure started the morning of August 10th. I originally had a 7:00 am flight to Chicago with a ( Read more... ) -
End of Summer
I'm at a little over a week before I leave for Edmonton, so the next week and a half-ish are going to be busy. Thankfully, I am not as stressed as I was when I moved to Japan. (Hooray for moving to a country where everyone speaks English! And shipping stuff is not that expensive!) So I have a few plans before I vanish, and other things I need to ( Read more... ) -
アメリカのバカ!
Happy 4th of July! (Aka my stinky colony doesn't like me very much day.) Apologies for the sale spamming this last week; you shouldn't see any new sale posts from me now that I have the huge entry up. I've actually managed to sell a bit of my stuff so far, so great success!
The summer has been fairly uneventful thus far. I'm keeping busy despite ( Read more... ) -

夏休みの予定！
My exit interview for IUC is this evening, so I guess I'm really done. It's a strange feeling not worrying about class in the back of my mind. I still haven't found a part-time job (and doubt I will at this point), so I'm making some goals for the summer as this is probably my last real "break" summer.
Planned Events!
