Interview
So, I got through the 1st round for the teaching job. If I pass the interview I will be on a plane to Japan this summer. I can only pray that happens. Stable income would be pretty amazing once college ends.

Mirai! The future!
I think I have finally come to the conclusions that if I fail to get a job before next fall semester I am going to apply to grad school and live a life of debt. Its difficult grad school I feel was somewhere in my future down the road when I have some money saved. But, not everything will be perfect as my best qualification for job placement other than my skin tone and my toddler level Japanese is...
Japanese Rock
I started writing short blurbs on a English written Japanese Music website. I will post a link when my first article comes out. I took this opportunity to expand my musical taste and it gives me great contacts and writing experience. The website matches me well as I don’t have to dedicate too much time a week and have as much flexibility as I want. Also most of the written material never...

The first step onto that distant foreign street made man’s heart pound anxiously. The anxious of both good and bad that comes with new love. A feeling never felt came about before carrying away into a dream.
But everything after that changed.
A wish that could wake a man up and be at that same place at that same time. As time changes, one cannot help but forget the past but remember...

You better believe its in the weather.
It isn’t cold enough nor the right season to be feeling these things yet. It will only get worse before its gone. So, all I can do is wait it out and hope for some new experiences.
I don’t know if it something worth pursuing when I get home or if I was just too spoiled the last few weeks.
Last Day
Last day in Kyoto im gonna get fucked up stay all night pack hungover and then off to Tokyo. I will miss it, 5 weeks is long enough to build a home.

Japan
I think over the past 5 weeks I’ve gotten to show the best side of myself. I hope I can bring it home and continue this, whatever it is. I don’t know if I will be the same as before or I will have changed a little or a lot, but I know for a fact the way I look at life, everything and the way I think will be different even though it may not show face up. To have this experience was...

It is now thurday
I think my last post was Monday and its now Thursday. Ive slowed down a bit this week. I’ve been taking naps to supplement my late night drinking fiascos. So last night I went out with a Japanese classmate to eat, Machiko kept making fun of me telling me it was a date but I didnt see it as one even though the other girl might have. She is cool either way and nice and a little cute so I dont...
Are there any Noh Theaters around? asked by Kyle
I don’t really know some people went to a Noh play last week but it was outside so i’m guessing maybe not.
Day 8
Already day 8, its nuts how much ive lived since ive been here. Had school and lunch today, Harvard and Stanford started their programs today so triple the Americans… their gaijin bubble is bigger though. We are cool with the Japanese students now we are growing on them. Anyway, after classes Machiko brought us to Fushimiinari shrine in which I may have done things to certain deities I...

We then ate Tonkatsu before returning to the Keshikan.First day I did not drink any alcohol im proud. I also love how everyone I live with we can just sit down in a random room and fucking have so much fun...
Day 5 and Day 6
So day 5 I went to the Imperial Palace with Erick, his partner Shino, Aaron, Rieko and her boyfriend Naoto and Kenji. We walked around and me and Aaron were practicing our Japanese with Rieko who was practicing her English back. It was cool and fun and educational. Kenji likes jazz so I asked if there were any bars but he doesn’t know not much jazz bars in Kyoto. O well, then I went with Big...
So busy
I want to update about yesterday but have to go take an all day tour of kyoto as part of class with everyone.
Day 4?
I think its day 4 too lazy to check. Finally jetlag-less as I woke up with my alarm at 8 and got ready for class. Stopped by the panya for breakfast had a matcha, green tea, pastry and then went to class. Finished, a lot of our lunch partners cant make it on Thursday so we ate with a lot of people and whoever’s partner was around. Had fun than Ruriko asked if I wanted to go to Osaka, fuck...
