Ok, so for anyone who doesnt hear from me outside of this blog let me go ahead and say this: I survived my first semester in Japan. Now, I am not going to say how dangerously close to death i came or go into the details, but lets just say that it came down to the wire. In any case it is over. Anyway, a lot has happened since my last blog....in fact that is a complete and utter understatement. Let me rephrase: everything has happened since my last blog. Friendships have grown, changed, and broken over the past couple of months. In fact, it is hard to believe I have been here almost 5 months now....so much has happened and changed. The funny thing about this blog is that only the meaningless, factual, mediocre moments are written about. All of the best and worst parts, the extreme highs and lows that occur, none of those will ever show up here. If for no other reason during the high times i am simply too happy and too busy to write, and at the worst i am sitting in the kitchen at the god forsaken hours of the night complaining about being emo lol. What can i say i am the resident happy emo, its funny what can i say.

ok

so i may go play hide and seek, so i am going to wrap this up: the picture above is from the jade buddha temple in shanghai which was my favorite aspect of china....so enjoy i will get back to this maybe later in the night.
