Home!

It has been so long since I have written! I have been home for four months now. Japan, unfortunately, seems very far away in both past and future. Since I'm in college now though, I am studying Japanese again and am very glad for the insight my time in Japan has provided me! Though I thought it was amusing when my sensei mentioned she could tell me "accent" was normal and when I told her, Kumamoto, she wasn't very surprised at all:)

I'm also in a class called "Japanese Food Cultures" and have to keep a blog for that one. Here is a link!

I do not regret doing a gap year one moment. It is was perfect for me because it gave me enough time to clear my head, feel out my goals and bring myself to focus for these next fours years of a new kind of adventure - education!

I've met many people here who have taken gap years, because it is becoming a lot more common. Not one person has regretted taken a gap year. I completely encourage it!
Not all learning is done in a classroom. There is a whole wide world out there to explore and learn about.

I'm planning to go back to Japan for study-abroad - maybe I will see you there!

Thanks:)
