Hi, all!
I'm not quite sure how blogs go, seeing as I'm hopeless when it comes to self-promotion and computers are not my strong suit. But I'd like to think that I'm an adventurous person, which means that I'm willing to jump into almost anything, including the mystifying world of online journals.
Let me begin by explaining briefly - before anyone says "TLDR"* - what I'm here for. I've applied through Ayusa Study Abroad to study in Japan the second half of this coming school year; my senior year. If accepted, I would spend January - June of 2013 in a completely foreign country living with a host family and attending a local high school, all in a language I am still learning. とても嬉しい！**
Having made it past Phase 1 of the application process (paperwork), I am now in Phase 2. This means I have been enrolled in a "Global Student" online course. As part of the requirement, I need to keep an "Info Log" of my time spent preparing. And voila. A blog.
So, here I am, eagerly awaiting the not-so-distant future when a "yay-or-nay" arrives in my mailbox (virtual or not), so that with any luck, by this time next year, I will be returning from Japan. 8) <-----sunglasses for added coolness
*Abbreviation for "too long, didn't read". Like the NPR article you clicked on, only to find that it's four pages of pointless interviews. Or the iTunes policy agreement.
** Reads: "Totemo ureshii!" which means, "So excited!"
