Present
I sent my boyfriend a massive parcel of things from Wales showing all the tourist attractions, then finally he sent me a big present containing various flavours of tea, a unique stabaless stapler and a diary so I can organise my life :3 I'm inspired. At my college last week we had a chat with someone who guides and advices people about their path after college this can be either going straight into work with a diploma, or extending your education for a further 3-4 years and get a nice shin degree. This is something a year or two I wouldn't have even taken into consideration, in fact last year I laughed it off until I realised how stubborn Japan was about allowing foreigners into their country.
I guess the reason was, was because I was very uneasy about the thought of paying off student loans- American's on the internet make it out to be such a drag and a never ending nightmare which is something I never really wanted. Until the advisor told us you do not have that burden until you start earning £21,000 a year and this has cleared a few grey clouds and I feel so much more relaxed about the idea.
The only other issue is my current one, as much as the course fascinates me especially now we're doing more long haul countries which we concentrated on Asia last week, I just do not like two
Daibutsu
I think when I went to see the Golden Buddha in Hong Kong it came back with me and I've been fascinated since. Usually religion doesn't faze me, but some how Buddhism has something over me and Shinto. class mates. One is the same problem with racism, but the only problem I have is that he doesn't shut up and asks annoying questions about my boyfriend. The other made me feel so bad about myself when I mentioned to her I had many interviews but failed- 'well obviously you're doing something wrong', some reason people supported her much to my despair, but no one knows my situation so it only hurt for a while.
I just wish I could be in the same room as people who are passionate about travel as I am. Last year it took me ages to understand the grading system, when my teacher told me I was aiming for a D I hung my head in despair not realising until later in the year that D meant Distinction which was top marks. Little did I know I was having culture shock moving from a quiet, sleepy town in Wales to the bustling and sophisticated city of London. Although my area isn't very attractive or sophisticated, it feels nice to be on track and deciding my own future.
So anyway, my boyfriend and I are pretty solid and after or if I
fun kanji
They're so cute xx go to Japan in March I think I'll join university for three years so that I can teach in Japan- it was always a taboo subject for me because I knew it was so expensive but loans are optional and teaching is essentially what I want to do as this website probably knows.
Because my course is a BTEC one, we get evaluated with UCAS points, something I so far am getting full potential of achieving to secure a place at uni. But I'm not sure if that means our choices are limited, I'm too scared to check and I think the deadline is soon.
In preparation for my trip I've put together a few pictures on Pinterest of what my interests are, these days I absolutely love giant Buddha's and fortunately my boyfriend lives just twenty minutes away from the Giant one in the Kanagawa Prefecture. I think secretly I think I should be a Buddha, I'm such a peaceful person and I love the idea of following harmony and the way of nature rather than one man and a book dictating our lives. Although they are strictly vegetarian- something that I can't do for bacon reasons.
Chineasy
this is an amazing kanji book which will help you remember with a glimpse of an eyes- however the translation is on Chinese and I'm hoping it will come out for Japanese soon. http://uk.pinterest.com/batforthecure/
It's been a while since I picked up my Kanji book, I first started when I was 16. I was quite naughty at school, when I had an hours peace to myself and have something the teacher would call Silent Study I'd get my Japanese book out and read it religiously, underlining instructions and scribbling kanji I was learning next to the one in print, convincing myself I didn't need notes and that it would come naturally to me when the time is needed. For me, that was true even now at 18 I can still remember their meanings just not how to pronounce them in Japanese. Needless to say my GCSE's weren't quite as good as I'd hoped, not that I was bothered at the time, all I knew was that I wanted to get out of school and concentrate on something I want to do. I think the teachers hated me for my stubbornness.
The decision of what I want to do in the future is set but not in stone, it's just up to me to work hard and at this point I can't see any of that changing. They say 50% of
These are too cute
I saw these in a game called Okami- they're just so cute, I'd love to have a zen garden with ornaments like these one day. They look like a happy old couple all professional jobs will require a degree even in the UK by 2020 so right now I don't see if I have anything to lose. All it would be is a lot of waiting for my boyfriend, I'm quite happy too and so is he. He's in the same situation really, poor thing doesn't know which uni to go to but he knows he wants to do either agriculture or medical. Either way I support his decisions- when we first met I used to scoff at his pressure insisting he has time when he was panicking, but now I understand why.
Even I have no clue which course I would like to commit myself to for a further three years.
But last week everything was just on top of me and I was so exhausted I just went to bed- tutors barking at us, strict assignment deadlines, my future and still no job. At this point a job doesn't really appeal what with my other commitments, because I cycle everywhere I think it would be too much but Japan is only 5 months away.
My friend made me cry laughing last night, she thinks I have a nice body and said I could always 'find non-traditional work' I thought she was going to say model, but no, she said pornstar. I've never heard anyone say I could do that, but it's nice to know I guess. But no, I love my boyfriend too much >.< :3 xxx
