I'm a student at SMU, and I've been learning both Japanese and Spanish for a while. I like reading, translating, and hanging out with friends. Recently, I've gotten interested in learning Hindi and Korean. This September, I'm going to study abroad at Kwansei Gakuin University in Japan.

busy weekend~

this weekend was really busy, but fun ^^

on Friday I went with my conversation buddy Junichi to an MBA "International Party," and got to do stuff like eat food from a bunch of different countries and listen to music...sooo much fun! it was a good chance to meet people from foreign countries.

I went to get my hair cut on Saturday with Lauryn, but it doesn't look too different from usual, lol. just a bit shorter~
after that, we went to a live club called The Curtain Club, which was sooo cool. I think there were four bands there. The last band that played was shooting for a music video, so there's a chance we're gonna be in it ^^

on the right is a picture Megan and I took before going~

today I went with Lauryn, her conversation buddy Akira, and Akira's girlfriend to a Korean restaurant, and now I love Korean barbeque, lol. but it was sooo spicy, hahaha

those were the three big events that happened, but there were a bunch of other things I did too, like going shopping at the mall and eating out ^^

but I didn't get much of my homework done, so I guess I'll go do that now, haha

was it fun?

I went with Lauryn and two friends from high school to San Antonio ^^

it was sooo much fun! We went shopping, went sightseeing... I've gone to San Antonio before, but this time was muuuch more fun (the first time I went, I was eight, and got really sick there ^^;)


← we took this picture in front of a fountain that was by the Tower of the Americas ^^

When we got there on Tuesday, the weather was horrid, but by Wednesday afternoon, it cleared up all of a sudden
it was soo nice seeing the blue sky, lol
it was beautiful on Thursday too

Yesterday, I went to a Japanese restaurant called "Kobe" to meet with a bunch of people and our yearbook advisor from high school and ate a toooon, lol
It's always awesome to have the chance to see people you haven't seen in a while ^^
