I’ve kept busy the past couple weekends, doing one sort of party or another. Not to say that the weekday stuff isn’t great, too. It’s hard to believe, but we’re more than half-way through this semester! Starting pretty soon, I’m going to have to start worrying about finals and presentations.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I hope to remedy that after this weekend. I’ll be spending Saturday and Sunday down in Tokyo with some of my Korean friends, who will be there to attend a job fair. I’ll be sure to have a big write up about that trip plus what else I’ve been up to sometime next week. Stay tuned!

It’s been a pretty full weekend for me once again. Since Wednesday, I went to the second concert on Thursday (which rocked), went to Aomori with Hwang and Paku, did CPR training with my club, went out for karaoke and finally, on Sunday, spent the entire day with my new host family. Well, let’s get into then, shall we?
