Sorry I’ve been so absent recently. Turns out that trying to get a full-time job while helping my mom and planning for graduation and graduation parties really takes it out of you. Not to mention the daily grind of planning meals, running errands, and shopping, making appointments, and so on. Fortunately/Unfortunately I am now employed! I will be starting my new job Monday (29th) which has enabled me to already spend my first paycheck by shopping! Not only this, but I feel as if I will also have even less time now (if that were possible) to update my site. On the up side, I plan to read and study on my now 2 hour round trip commute so I will become more literate and my Japanese might, just might, be able to get back to where it was.
