Random excitement

No more news on the school acceptance front (unfortunately).
They are, however, asking for money now. Seems a bit premature, don't you think? Shouldn't I hear word of acceptance before I start paying? Meh. Guess it can't be helped.

In other news, a kindly fellow by the name of Kevin was discovered at a Taiko gathering last weekend. He will be going to Doshisha for the year as well, though he hails from UCLA. We can be taiko buddies together there!

I spent 3.5 hours tonight talking with a friend of mine who will be going to Tokyo on OAP in the fall. We're getting each other psyched. It's going to be AMAZING!

I find myself hyperventilating in glee at random moments. I'll be making breakfast and-- OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO JAPAN... I'll be taking Rusty out and-- AHHH! JAPAN... I'll be doing laundry and--WEIFNSDKCMOEWFLK JAPAN!!!!!

It's a little bit ridiculous. I'm probably giving myself bad blood pressure.

I am sad that by the time I get back, most of my friends here will have graduated and moved away. I'll be starting all over. I guess that's something to be said for the drawbacks of single-minded determination-- it can be detrimental to social lives. (note: I almost wrote in loves instead of lives. Freudian slip??)

I'll just have to get good at keeping in touch with people. It's something my family isn't too good at. I guess it's up to me to break the chain!

がんばります！

i hate to be redundant, but DEATH x__X

So the last scholarship application is off!

All that's left now is to wait....

Oh yeah! And to get shots. Apparently in 2007 (?) there was an outbreak of Measles in Japan. So we have to take care of that M.M.R.

Hopefully we'll here back soon and I can stop fretting.
