Yeah that's right! I just finished my first year of college! And I'm rather sober and alive! Its a really great feeling. I definately think I could have done a lot better this year but you know its all about learning isn't it!? I know what to change for next year now! And so now I am taking a few minutes from packing to talk what happened this academic year!
-I finished my first year of formal Japanese, I believe I know somewhere around 150 to 200 kanji. I can write to my host sister in Japanese now!
-I can speak and hold a pretty nice conversation in Japanese!
-I got my first D on a paper... not good but weird.
-I wore Lolita in a school setting for the first time since I had a horrible experience in high school.
-I met some of the most wonderful frilly friends a Lolita could have! Here's to you Phen and Syd!! Supa <3s!
-I met my heterosexual lifemate! Asuka you make my half, a whole and it's awesome!
-I left the realm of singledom once again and am dating a wonderful man! Reagan, ngoh oi nei! (And yeah go laugh at my horrible Cantonese!)
- I learned that I really can be happy without having absolutely everything
-I now have a closer knit group of people that share my passion for Asian culture.
-I'm finally getting to make my dreams into reality.
-I successfully lived on my own.
-I've lost weight!
-I've had a hot teacher... Thanks Kurt North for teaching SPCM-200!
On a side note I had a wonderful time out withPhen and Syd yesterday evening in lolita! I can't wait till we get our brand stuff Syd! Or when we will get to have a sewing circle together!
Also today I went to see my Japanese class before their final and I got this warm fuzzy feeling when I said goodbye it was really nice for everyone to wish me good bye and a good summer! みな！がんばってください！！！！！！ I will also miss seeing Mori-sensei! She is so fun and I love the fact that we love drama and that Sojiro is her favorite from F4! *sigh* Now only if there was somewhere she could tell me so I could go learn tea ceremony! Cause I've always wanted to do it!
Well that's all for now! Back to packing!
Ja mata!
PS: And Phen cause I know you are reading this I hope you know that I think you and senpai will be soo sweet if it all goes in your favor... and yah I sorta wanted a big J-dorama showdown... ya know how I do.

Another week down!
I made it through another week of classes! Only one week and finals left! WHEEE!!!! I'm sooo friggin ready for summer!!
Today I was at work... and I cut my finger on the tomato slicer! It hurts!! But I now have a Hello Kitty Band-Aid on it and that is definately helping infinately!
I also had the Japanese composition today and I will be honest, I'm pretty sure I did miserable on it. I am mostly disappointed in myself because I know I am capable of doing a lot better, and doing things, like memorizing all the kanji... but I've just been taking the easy road... which is sad and now that I am at crunch time I am really feeling my slacking this term and it makes me upset because I know how much other people have invested in me (namely my parents) and the last thing I want to do is let them all down! Cause I've already been flaky when it comes to what I wanted to do with my life. And now with hindsight I am seeing that I can't let things keep going they way their are both with my finances and my academics. And I need to push past my exhaustion and get that boulder over the hill, but it's certainly hard to find the motivation but I am trying to get things back together.
Some goodish news. The exam for my Genetics course that I thought I bombed well I actually got a 78%! Yeah it's not a good grade persay but it's the best one I've had in that class so far and I just need a C (which may still kill my father but.... c'est la vie non?) to pass but I'm going to do my damnest to get things together for this final and hopefully yank my grade up to a B-, which would be sweet!
In other news I've added two more shifts to work which is good cause I can have money to spend in LA and still have a tinny bit for visiting Reagan... is it selfish and easy for me to succum to his request and let him pay for my visit to see him... yeah... I thought soo....
And speaking of Reagan, we are doing well and he told me last night that he wasn't telling me things not because he didn't want to it was because he just isn't used to having someone he can totally be open with and so it will "take me some time" but at least that's a start. You gotta love men and their pride. XDD
So anyway I have a letter to read and reply to from an old high school teacher and then I will write one to Reagan... then maybe treat myself to the latest ep of Grey's... or BONES... hmm choices... it's gonna be a wild Friday night. Lulz.
PS: Phen! Stop beating me in posting all da time! Serious! I feel like I'm copying joo!!
Ja mata! (>3<)v
