Once again, an update from the land of the rising sun. (does anyone even read this anymore?) Things have been really groovy lately, can't really complain too much. Having a wonderful time and doing some great things and meeting some amazing people. We just had a couple of three day weekends in a row, so I've had a lot of vacation time as of ( Read more... )

Since all the cool kids are doing it, I guess I will too ( Read more... )

Yo, everyone. Hope everything's going alright for you guys on that side of the world. Just wanted to say that I'm glad to hear everyone's ok in the aftermath of the hurricane. There's not much I can say about it that hasn't already been said many times, many ways, so I'll just leave that part of the post out. No point in it ( Read more... )

Yeah, it's still orientation week here at Kansai Gaidai. And no, I'm still not on my laptop, so pics in this post either. Sorry guys. Maybe next time. In the meantime, I guess I can bore...er, entertain you with some recent decisions I've come to and other odds and ends ( Read more... )

I've taken in enough local color to answer the question that everyone always asks: "What's the difference between Japan and America?" That's easy ( Read more... )

Well, I'm now three days into living in Japan, and I'm amazed at how much I've already learned and experienced. You definitely have to take something like this one day at a time.

Well, well, look who it is...Haven't updated since April back at ol' UA, so it feels weird doing this again. But I suppose it's good that I do, since I have some stuff to tell for a change. First and foremost ( Read more... )

Well, it's time for the monthly update, I guess. Actually, I'm sitting here in the computer lab in B.B. Comer, so I figure I'd update for once, since I've nothing to do at the time. Wow, so much has happened since my last update before Spring Break, where do I begin?? I guess the beginning is often the best place, isn't it ( Read more... )

Haha, wow. That's about all I can really say right now. This has been an absolutely amazing day, and birthday at that. Yeah, I reached the big 2-0 today. It still hasn't hit me yet that I'm no longer a teenager ( Read more... )
