So... let's see, I turned in my SIP (senior thesis) rough draft and it's ok! so the world is looking pretty rosy in that area. I found this cool internship to apply to in England and I really hope I get in because I've been wanting to live there for the past couple of years and I'm really excited. School has been really busy for me, I have a lot ( Read more... )

that just goes to show how lazy I am. hmm, I'm currently immersed in writing my SIP (senior thesis) and I've got about 14 pages to go. My adviser wants to see it by the third so I'm in mad writing mode. I had a wonderful Christmas and I hope that everyone else had one too (: I'm planning on spending New Years in Kalamazoo ( Read more... )

hmm, someone hired me, so yay I'll be working at Lonestar this summer. Me and Krissy went to cinncinati this weekend and saw Les Miserables and it was amazing! It was a really nice to spend some sister/sister time. We went to a scotish resturant afterwards for dessert and drinks and got hit on by a huge group of guys who gave us a couple of irish ( Read more... )

I'm home! I'm safe! and last night krissy took me out for my first legal drink in america. The flight equaled forever and there was nowhere to put my feet for a variety of reasons but the flight still felt less horrible than it usually does. I joyusly reunited with my fam and my kitty and distributed souvieners ( Read more... )

gaaa! just a quick note on oblivious japanese people... So Thursday, the day of finals, is my last night in Japan, I'd like to spend it hanging out in the dorms drinking a lot a lot with my friends before we all must leave. They've been droping hints about thursday beign a "party" and last night I put a couple of months worth of not paying ( Read more... )

All I want to do is go home. I don't really like Japanese and I'm pretty sucky at it. In any event I haven't got a C right now and it turns out that that is what I need to credit for Japanese, 3 classes worth of Japanese. I can't fail 3 classes, I just can't... if that happened then I would have to overload senior year, lose my scholarship and ( Read more... )

I've realized that I don't have many close friends. I think this is a good thing, I love my friends, I want to see them happy and understand when they arn't. A person's capacity to love is not finite but one's time is and if one wants to be close to people than one must spend time to do so. I'm so thankful for the my friends and the people I ( Read more... )

So. I started my homestay. Grandma (obaachan) and Grandpa (ojiichan) live downstairs and grandma makes really great nabe. My homestay mom, sister, and I live upstairs, they're very bright, lively I guess. It just started so I'll have more to say later but in general it seems very nice, I'm sure I'm a big inconvinence and I'm trying not to be. ( Read more... )

Hmm, well, I was looking at live journal, wondering why my friends hadn't posted lately and why all I ever post about is school, so I'm not mentioning THAT language in this post. Let's see ( Read more... )
