Quick update since I couldn't find a computer at the computer lab and I'm in the like study area thing idk.....anyway, I met with my counselor and even though I missed my math class I had a really good conversation and feel alot better about what I need to do with my school and future. See, this counselor had done exactly what I want to do so he was a major help. He taught English in Japan for about....9 years I think he said and he had so many fun stories to tell me. He told me how he taught all these high exectives and stuff English and I was just in awe. Then he told me how he had started an English school in his area and was doing really well with it till his ex-wife divorced him and took all his shit basically :/ But he was just telling me how wonderful the country was and that it was such a paradox in a way in how you get treated and stuff. It was really fasinanting. He also said he'd help me with getting in touch with the company he worked for and stuff like that once I finished with Uni. So now I need to look into what I'm going to study cause basically he said I just need a four year degree and it didn't really matter what it needed to be in. I'm thinking along the lines of some sort of cultural studies or something like that. I was telling him how I had such a passion for learning language and he said that'd really take me far. A nice weight had been lifted after this visit. He even understood my dislike for math LOL cause he doesn't care for it either "Math...is basically klingon to me" were his words lmfao. I like this guy. I'm going to visit him again really soon.
