JET Mid Year Conference
Hmm, it was just OK. I personally dislike being around a lot of negative energy where people like to complain and rant about their problems. I especially hate it when they seem to think comparing each other's problems and trying to see who is worse off is absolutely stupid and exhausting. I have to waste so much fake sympathetic energy that I come ( Read more... ) -
My Country, My Home
These years of angst and torment over why America does such dumb things and makes such poor choices has been a grueling time for many of us. Alas, with the first African American president, and a Democrat, finally in office again, I am so happy. I honestly believe he will initiate the great change for the better for the U.S. and he represents a ( Read more... ) -
tendency towards loneliness
I always wonder in the lessons how you translate so many Japanese words into English. "Kawaii" is not only cute but many other meanings at once, for instance. Then there are just your basic words "sell" "uru" which becomes "uranai", but because English doesn't usually use negatives like Japanese it translates as "not sell"..... So weird. Well, ( Read more... ) -
Job Start
Well, it really started a couple weeks ago but they weren't the classes. I'm loving it so far and I love Japan just as much if not more than before! Great people, great friends, great job, it all balances out nicely right now. :)
Now if only the family back home were a little more responsible.... -

Income is good. Work is good. People are good. Students are students. Family seems well. All is right with the world. -

Harry Potter Marathon
I can't wait for the movies now. I think the Deathly Hallows movies should be pretty epic. I basically plowed through the 6th and 7th in a week, which is record breaking for my reading speed. Needless to say, I'm a tad sleep deprived now. Those darn last 200 pages or so really had me going ( Read more... ) -
Hot & Humid
As if I wasn't dreading the humid heat of Japan anymore than before Hawaii I'm really dreading it now. Hawaii was hot, sticky, and 99.9% of the time you just want to take a shower. Despite the yucky weather I enjoyed my mini vacation. It's always nice seeing the family and visiting the ones underground as well ( Read more... ) -
AAS = Adolescent Angst Syndrome
Being young and naive filled with high energy or hardly enough at all. Hmm, I wonder how much I was like that. Though, honestly I don't feel any more grown up than when I'd graduated high school. Maybe just a little older. More like, a slight haze of laziness has come over me and staying mad or blowing up at things just isn't worth the energy or ( Read more... ) -
Survived...
3 years and 1 abroad. All of it survived and now I'm going abroad again. My grades have come out and it is safe to say that I am satisfied in addition to having passed everything as I'd hoped. b^_^ Now let's just not let anything get in the way of Japan!!!
My room is so messy....and why am I so busy still?!
