Well, officially break has started. YAY! So we have two weeks off and I probably won't be doing much, but I do believe that in the near future I will be traveling to Kyoto and to Tokyo. But first I feel that I have been lacking in updates. The last time I updates was around Thanksgiving, so it's been a couple weeks, but a lot has happened in those two/three weeks. Mainly tests, I don't think I've done as many projects/presentations/tests at the end of a semest...
