For those of you who might not know what Phi Beta Kappa is, it is a national honors society by-invitation-only for exceptional liberal arts majors.

Sound busy enough?
I've been busy and haven't posted much lately >.>
School:Classes are keeping me busy, as always. Although fortunately most of them don't have a huge work load, since I have lots of non-class stuff to do this semester. Some are a yawn a minute (such as a bio class I'm taking to fulfill my science requirement - so far at least 95% has been just a ( Read more... ) -

Sayonara Japan!
Good-byes are always hard. I never can seem to get through them without getting at least a little misty-eyed, and today was no exception. On the bright side, it does show how many friends I've made here that are hard to say good-bye to. I managed to collect a few pages of addresses though, so I'll have to send postcards from the US. I've ( Read more... )
