I would like to slap my fellow Americans a high five for electing Obama. I am so glad we proved to be a country that's not all talk about 'look how far we've come' and 'wanting change.' You can't argue with numbers (or the electoral college.) :)

Thank you jun_inohara for calling me the minute you knew the election results. ^_^ I had fun gleefully being ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a few weeks...again! I put off writing because it always taking me hours (I write toooo much)...but I just shot myself in the foot really because I'll wanna write about everything that's happened now. >_I will try to restrain myself. last time I wrote on LJ, I quite literally strained my wrists. o_O;; I tell you, kotatsu tables ( Read more... )

Non-stop classes in the morning, but it was a good day. Seriously. I feel really great about how my classes went today.

Yatta, I am posting! :D

Ok you can all put your party hats away now. Just wanted to write about my weekend a bit.

So I just got an email from my CIR (I forget what it stands for, sorry) in Koka-shi in Shiga prefecture. And he's like 'Welcome to the deep countryside of Koka! You are coming to a wonderful place full of mountains, tanuki, deer, cows, and the biggest lake in Japan ( Read more... )

I've been having this worry as of late that I'm a big flake. A big nerdy 'smart' flake. (Is there such a thing?) I feel verrrrrrrrrry flaky at times. And spacey. Am I a spacey flake ( Read more... )
