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！
