All of your grades were above 80%, nice!

You should be proud of your work. ^_^

Thanks. ^_^

I'll try to be. Grades won't matter when I'm trying to get that promotion at Cinnabuns, though. XO =b

Considering how good your grades were, you have nothing to worry about! There will always be people better than you and worse than you, it happens. I think you should be proud at how much you've improved, because its impossible that you haven't, being there so long. Even Karen, our counselor at JCMU who has been living in Japan for 5+ years and is married to a Japanese man, has trouble! You can't expect to be fluent. Also, unfortunately, you are a gaijin and the best you can do is impress them with what skills you have ( ... )

Thanks for the words of encouragement, it definitely helps. :)

If I can learn enough Japanese to get a job back home, I'll be happy. I could always return here and tutor, but I think I would like to live in America, job providing.

Daimonji is soooo pretty right now! It's busier than ever, too! I don't like how crowded it is, but it is useful in that it's easier to steal some free samples and slink back into the crowd of massive gaijin, undetected. =D

How's Kalamazoo treating ya? Does it feel weird being back there?

It's SO weird! But I'm happy because I haven't had a real class since mid-December, so my brain gets a bit of a workout. On the other hand, I have LOTS of reading to do and apparently a 20 page paper for the junior history seminar (which is kind of ok, because its supposed to be a prep fpr the SIP), so I'm trying to get back into using time to actually get things accomplished XP
