Nihon ni ite iru yo!

I am going to Japan. I got confirmation on my internship this morning, and I will be heading to Sapporo to intern at Hokkaido University's Slavic Studies Center, researching energy and economic security and cooperation between Japan and Russia.

The best part is, IT'S FREE. I got funding for the entire summer. Oh, life is good, it is, it is. biggrin

Going nuts.

So I was supposed to hear about this internship two days ago, which is starting to concern me. It sounds silly, but it's frustrating when my life hinges on what someone else decides. Meanwhile I can only sit here and hope my resume and letter of intent are enough to convince them i'm capable. The next three months of my life hang on...

Nervous.

I am sitting at my laptop waiting for an email that tells me whether or not I get to live in Japan for the summer on a funded internship, researching economic and energy issues in Northeast Asia, or if I get to chill here in Monterey.

I had planned on the latter, then this internship popped up, literally a week ago, and ruined what...

Roadtrippin....

... was fun. 3320 miles, too much fast food, good music, the da Vinci Code on cd, and some drunken nights in cities across the US. Notable, were New Orleans and San Antonio, prolly never gonna live in either of those places, but fun to visit.

I got to visit a friend of mine from school, he's got a kid now, cute as hell....

DONE!! One semester down, three 2 go. Taking off tomorrow for a roadtrip across the country, very excited about that. SPrained my ankle playing soccer, but other than that, life is good. I have been visiting my parents and friends back home in SoCal, playing with great dane puppies, drinking beer and getting into trouble.

Not too sure how I feel about returning to Monterey...

Ugh, I did Japanese summer study at the local community college and it kicked my ass.. I got a D (mind you I was like 15 and had never taken a college course nor studied Japanese at the time). Retook it this year for th' A. I have to study all summer though to get from a community college level to a UC level in knowledge and understanding... I guess that means memorize more vocab and kanji wink
arlo:
aww. hopefully you'll see her again. and i'm glad you've been doing great lately. pick me up something at the liquor store wink kiss

4... weeks.... left.... blackeyed Yes, school is quasi-kicking my ass. Two research papers and a policy memorandum later though and I will be finished.

I had this great idea of writing on similar topics for all three, that way I could coordinate my research somewhat and save a bit of time and personal energy. The downside to this is I am so sick of reading about...

Spring is here, the weather is nice, and I have the stomach flu. While I did get to skip out on class yesterday, i've not left the house for like 2 days and I am going nuts. I had to turn down to partying invites tonight, I can't eat anything except toast, and I am getting sick of Warcraft III, but it's the only game...

Had some friends come up from home this weekend, so we hada little reunion and did some serious bar crawling in San Francisco the past couple of days. Unfortunately on the way back home some crazy ass old man pulled a U-turn from the shoulder of a 4 lane highway and crashed into us. We spun acrossed four lanes of traffic and onto the opposite...

Back 2 school. Great. 3 days relaxing at home, 3 days laying drunk on the beach in Mexico, and 8AM class today. Not back into the school frame of mind, I just want a nap.

Ever have days where every little thing reminds you of your ex? and you date others but find yourself not listening? and you think you are over the person, but...
