Well lets see. I am absolutely in love with the Japanese culture and I love to travel. Hey! Looks like I came to the right spot then! So far I have been to Bulgaria, Germany, France,Holland (only thru the Gigantic airport), Mexico and Canada. I have currently applied to go to Kansai Gaidai for the Fall of 2009 and should hear back from them soon so if all goes well then that will be the main purpose of this here blog.

Yay! June is just around the corner! This means that August isnt too far off! Hmm doesnt sound as good on here though as it does in my head O_o. So there is a lot of things it turns out that I need to do. First off I have to take a couple of summer classes to satisfy my general studies major at the community college and that starts next week. This really sucks because the main class that I need is a math class and I can only take this class as a sort of intensive one. What I mean by that is that this class is three hours long and I have it every day except for friday for the month of June. I absolutely hate math wich is why this is coming back ... read more

Alas! Finally my search for a ticket to Japan is compleate! I must say, of all the times I have traveled outside the U.S. this has by far been the hardest one to find a ticket for. I think maby it was more because I had a certain time that I had to be there by and a period of days set if I didnt want to try and find my way to the college after ariving there for the first time. Kansai Gaidai sends a Limo Bus to pick you up but they will only do pick ups at certain times on certain days. The day that I wanted to arrive on would be Aug. 29th. So where I would be flying into would be the Kansai Airport and the Limo bus will pick up ... read more

"Dear Samantha: We are happy to inform you that you have been admitted to the Asian Studies Program at Kansai Gaidai for the fall semester of 2009. All the faculty and staff members of the Asian Studies Program join me in extending a warm welcome to you." I am extreamly excited right now! I just got my acception letter to KGU this morning, though I was supposed to get it sooner than that since they said that I would have a responce by the 15th and I didnt get it until after that but who cares? I got it and that is all that matters! In approximately four months I am going to be moving to the other side of the world to study in Japan! I cant even begin to describe how happy I am. ... read more

Last time I said that I wasnt going to post anymore blogs until I had gotten a letter from Kansai Gaidai on my being accepted/rejected. I lied. Although this will slightly relate to it since just about everything that I think of anymore, can in some way relate back to Kansai Gaidai. Im telling you this obsession of mine cant be good for my health. So in case you havent figured it out yet, I have not gotten anything from Kansai Gaidai as to weather I have been accepted. Though I did take the advice of my one teacher whom sent in his letter late and sent the school an email to see if all of my stuff had arrived on time. Turns out I didnt need his letter because I got a reply back saying ... read more

The reason I decided to write this (other than the fact that its spring break and I have nothing better to do until I go to work and my legs are doing their stupid hurttng thing that they have been doing since I was a kid...I really need to get that checked out...so I cant go run until that dies down) is because My deadline for my application to study abroad in Japan is finally up! This means that sometime between now and April 15 I should be informed as to weather or not I got in! Yay! But as it turns out I THINK most of my stuff got turned in. I say this because I had to actually give recommendation letters to some of my professors and they had to mail them in. I ... read more
