Lookie at the note I found stuffed away somewhere in my Bowdoin stuff that I was cleaning out today ( Read more... )

So things are a little different now around the house, since mom has moved (nearly) everything of hers out. I'm quite sure I will never get used to shuttling between houses and her house will forever remain a place to visit rather than another home, as much as I'd like that not to be because it makes things awkward, but I've lived in this house for ( Read more... )

I'm using one of the computers at school so the whole LJ format went Japanese on me.

A tiny post, for those on campus next semester I'm living in Burnett 21, which is a double but they have told me that it is unlikely a second person will be assigned to the room. Yay!

Was awesome to see the most unlikely Mainers boping along behind the band as they ( Read more... )

I'm back in America...yay? Everyone's rude again, even the little voices on the moving walkway seemed rude, I had some reverse culture shock going through the airports. Where was the Kego, where was the gozaimasu?! It was a little better back in Maine, minus the six children (three of the screaming variety) on the airplane from Detroit to Portland ( Read more... )

Thought I'd let everyone know that if you want to see any of my Photos from Japan head to www.steltzer.shutterfly.com ( Read more... )
