いつのまにか。。。
I'm appreciating the pretty sakura toolbar/layout thing that lj has going on, but they're about a month late. :P
So earlier today I was looking back on some of entries on here from HS and laughing about how dumb some of them sound, and some of my random use of the Japanese phrases I knew from anime...it's crazy to think that its been a whole 3 years since I graduated, because time really has flown. I'm finishing up a semester in Japan. Next spring I'll be graduating. I hardly know what to think...before long I'll be out there roughing it on my own (*fingers crossed for a job*)
Anyway, I think at this point I'm just writing this to procrastinate finishing up my econ essay. 8 pages on whatever you want...it is actually the first homework assignment of any kind that we've had all semester. As much as I love writing about rice protectionism and the shifting diets of the Japanese people, I can't stop thinking about all the events planned for these last couple of weeks - and for the summer! I'm not exactly looking forward to coming home, other than being able to see friends and family again, but I almost wish this semester could last forever. I feel as if I've just adjusted to living here, and in two weeks I'll be on a plane back home. It will be the first time since I started studying Japanese that I am taking a real break from the language. And there's just so many things about Japan that I am going to miss - the food, the people, the all-night karaoke, the beauty of the temples and shrines and how you can find one nestled into even the busiest corners of the biggest cities.
-don't worry Japan, I'll be back.
