Hello everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't been more active on here...but I've really been having too much fun with everything that's been happening right now haha. It's been crazy busy, but I'm getting more and more used to it and I'm trying to get in time to draw here and there too. So far though, I've been paralyzed by my to-do list again, so I might have to do what I did last time and just cut out some of the things from my list of stuff to draw for other people OTL. I'm going to try not to though, because I owe people some things. But art trades are a definite thing I have to fulfill, so I'll take care of those first and foremost.
Otherwise though, lots of stuff has happened in the past couple of weeks! I finished out my Summer B semester really well, and I'm really enjoying my classes for this Fall! It's nice being around my friends and I love love loveee my Japanese teacher, so it's all going nicely. ^^ As a plus, I'm spending more time on taking care of myself and my health, particularly by exercising everyday, though I still haven't found my rhythm. I just keep thinking of the day that I'll get to see my friend again and that keeps me motivated. <3
I have a lot of stuff I need to take care of in the coming year, but I'm really trying my best to work on everything I need to and want to do! I've decided on double majoring in Japanese and International Studies, because I found out that doing Graphic Design would require me to throw out Japanese or any opportunities to study abroad there completely(including summers because I would have to make up classes then), so I'm going to stick with my plan and hopefully love every minute of it! I'm liking the idea so far, but we'll see. I'll keep you guys updated on how it all goes ^^
Otherwise aside from that, well...my friend and I have been keeping in touch. He's been pretty busy too, trying to get his own new apartment in Kyoto and all, but we try to keep in touch as often as possible. I met his mom on Skype the other day and I also talk a lot to his sister--he really has a nice family and I really hope I get to meet them in person sometime. My really good friend, Maggie, has been so supportive of me lately but I'm a little bit concerned about her seriousness regarding learning Japanese and getting into the program. There's gonna be a lot she and I need to do in the time before then, so we'll see. I know she's serious though, so hopefully she gets in! >.< It would be strange not being in the same place as her for a year since she's pretty much one of my best friends. And that goes both ways, if she gets in and I don't. >.< There's also a chance both of us could not get in, in which case I don't know when I'd get to see my friend for a year. She's a Japanese minor, which doesn't get as much priority compared to a major, so we'll see. I guess it's all just really a lot to take in.
In any case though, I really hope you all are doing well! I feel like I've been neglecting my online life a lot, but that's just what happens when real life gets in the way haha. I'm enjoying how life is working out for me so far though, especially since my parents and friends have been giving me their support 10000% and that includes you guys! I appreciate everything you all have done for me and continue to do for me as friends so so much!! You all deserve the best in every way possible and I hope all is well! Let me know how you're doing and take care!! ^^
