Why is all the rum gone?
Quick update before bed~
-Great evening out tonight with anyagee . She had her last day of work today and starts heading down to Planet Virginia tomorrow, so we had a last hurrah before she leaves the state. Yummy italian food followed by Pirates 4 obviously did the trick. I actually liked Pirates more than I thought I would, though I don't get the ( Read more... ) -
日本に比べて、アメリカはつまらない。
Life goes on, as per usual. Still haven't found a part-time job even though I've been applying all over, but I'm hoping something turns up soon. The grocery store down the street will be hiring a bunch of people soon since they'll be losing a bunch of people for the summer as they run off to the shore, so hopefully I'll get a call from them. For ( Read more... ) -
全部は悪くないけど．．．
It figures that the US government decided to lift the travel warning NOW. *sigh* They've finally admitted that Tokyo/Yokohama and other areas further from Fukushima are safe. (Still saying to stay a 50-mile radius away from Fukushima, but that's common sense.) Sadly, it's too late for any kind of turn-around for IUC, and it's not like I can turn ( Read more... ) -
Some sense of normalcy
I'm slowly getting into some sort of schedule here. I think my jetlag is finally gone; I still can't stay up as late as I was in Japan, but it's close enough to normal-people time that it's fine. I can sleep till 7:30/8 now, which was my normal school-wake up time, so if I can stick to that I'll be happy.
Since my dad is "retired" now (he went ( Read more... ) -
予定は必要
Alright, time to put my life back in order. Still haven't heard what's going on with IUC, but it sounds like they will not be able to continue the program somewhere in the states due to logistics. They're talking about "remote-learning" options, but I'm going with the assumption that it's not going to happen. So I need to plan what to do with ( Read more... ) -
This isn't how it was supposed to end
For those who haven't heard, I am back in the States. I wasn't planning on leaving after the earthquake, but my family finally convinced me to come home Tuesday morning. I got a flight home Thursday afternoon, arriving in the US the same day ( Read more... ) -
Earthquake
I've posted in every other social media thing I have, but just to confirm: I AM SAFE ( Read more... ) -
読めるために練習します！
As much as I complain about the level of difficulty of my readings for history this semester, I have to say one thing:
It's finally sinking in.
That's right. After nearly five years of studying Japanese, I feel like I'm finally at a level where I can freaking read things without looking up every other word. One of my major problems when reading ( Read more... ) -
Life goes on~
Life has been busy, as usual, here in Yokohama. Since I've been bad about posting, have a bullet-point entry:
*2/7: Went to Roppongi with Dan at god-ass early in the morning to watch the Super Bowl at an Irish pub. I'm really glad I decided to go see it, as a)I have not seen any live football games this year, b)it was a really good game, and c) ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Wow, unproductive weekend was unproductive. Feeling better though (finally), so that's a relief. But don't tell my sensei that! I really want to watch the Super Bowl tomorrow, so Dan and I are venturing to Roppongi at oh my god early in the morning to watch the game. There are several sports bars hosting parties, and we're heading to Paddy ( Read more... )
