This is the Summer Time!
My summer has been going pretty well so far. I didn't get the job/internship I wanted, but I've been doing pretty good.
I've go a bit more to do for Japan--mostly figuring out what I need to bring, omiyage, etc, but I've gotten a lot of the big stuff done, like getting my Visa. Whoo! I really want to know about my host family, and every once in a while, I get nervous, but yeah. I've also been trying to keep studying...to relative success.
Work is work. Long and tiring, but it gets me money for school and whatnot, and I'm really glad I have a job. Also, I'm volunteering at the hospital (Peds/Hospice) and it's gone really well so far.
I've gotten to see friends a few times and I hope to do so a bit more before I go. I leave pretty early in the year, so it will be interesting.
I'm trying to watch a bunch of dramas, too, and they're so much fun. Especially Troubleman! I'm watching it with Captain, which makes it even better (though it is so amazing on its own). I could go on for a long time, but I'll spare you.
Some of the things I'm working on this summer for Japan and in general include: getting into better shape/used to riding a bike, eating better, journaling (to record what happens, even just a bit), Japanese (esp. kanji and via songs and dramas),reading more neuroscience articles, etc.
Uhg, after rain and fog for over a month, we finally got some sun, and now its hot and sticky. Not my favorite type of weather.
I feel like I had a point in this entry, but I forgot what it was.
Oh well.
