So since my last post I have done almost nothing. I have really been making an effort to do as little as possible. Not that I spent much more than I had planned over my vacation last week, but saving some money would do me very well right now. I… Read more“Weak week”
Golden Week pt. 2
My vacation is pretty much over. Back to regular life at school tomorrow. I am looking forward to getting back into the grind. Although I had an absolute blast over the past 9 days, it ended up being a little expensive. I also need to get back into a schedule…. Read more“Golden Week pt. 2”

New apartment. New job. New phone.

I made it
I finally made it to Osaka. It took me what seemed like forever but I am here. It is much colder than I was expecting, but still much more tolerable than the “polar vortex” we had been experiencing this winter in Maryland. It was about 36*F at 8am when I landed… Read more“I made it”
