I have found a reason to stay in university......wait for it....wait for it....just a little long....um....NOW! It's because they are sister universities with Osaka International University. Ooo! *heart heart love*
I am at the moment severely interested in going to OIU next year as it will give me a chance to relax and see where I really want go, since at the moment I am just kind of stumbling down the road of life. There is course there that helps to improve one's Japanese to be able to attend the universities in that country. Mostly kids from Asia take that course, while all the whities...I mean english speakers >.< take Japanese Culture for a year where they learn calligraphy, traditional dance, Japanese harp, and so on. That's all great and whoop-de-doo, but if I'm spending money on this, lots of money, I think I would rather take the course that's meant to further one's education in the long run, and after that stay in Japan for maybe the rest of my undergraduate degree, whatever that may be.
I guess my main problem right now is that I was never able to really sit back and feel out my options in high school, and now that I'm facing what-I-want-to-be-when-I-am-growed-up I really don't know what I want to be. All those useless class in elementary school about what we wanted to be aren't really helping now. We were kids, we said whatever made the teacher go, "Ah, that's an excellent choice. Here's a big, gold star!"
Stupid gold stars... >.
