I AM GOING TO JAPAN.  I AM STUDYING ABROAD AT NAGOYA UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN STUDIES.  I WILL BE LEAVING THIS AUGUST AND RETURNING TO THE STATES IN JULY OF 2009.

Technically, it isn't completely official yet, since I just turned my application in yesterday, but when I talked with Maria today, I asked her how likely it was that I would be accepted into this program because I needed to know whether or not to let Anne know if I would be living with her next year.  Maria Hope put it this way:

"Don't worry about finding a place to live.  Go call your parents and tell them that you're going!"

So...

I'M GOING TO JAPAN!! :D:D:D

Ｇｌａｙがずっと　大好きだよ～！

I accidentally took a four hour nap yesterday and that caused me to stay up 'till 6 in the morning, which caused me to sleep through Japanese (fuuuuck... >_<). The only reason I went to lecture is because Tim knocked on the door at 11:30 to ask if I wanted to go eat lunch.

I hate Evolution. I hate it. It's torture.

でも　while I was up 'til 6 AM, I rediscovered Dir en Grey and Glay! Glay is actually the first Japanese band I ever listened to. I was friends with a foreign exchange student in my high school who lent me her CD collection. Unfortunately, the only CDs she did have were the second CD to Glay's Drive compilation album and one of Utada Hikaru's CDs.  The rest were English-speaking/singing bands.

But, yeah, I'm actually really happy.  Glay is my first Japanese music love, and I do mean musical love.  I had no idea what they looked like when I first started listening to them.  Hell, I didn't even know their names.  But I do now~!  ^__^;; Teru's amazingly awesome, and Jiro's adorable, and I am in love with Hisashi's hair, and Takuro is... well, he's Takuro, ne.

God, I forgot how much I love Glay!  Wow... I can still sing along... And this time around I can understand what they're saying occasionally!

I actually read for Rhetoric.  Is it bad that I can kind of half-way see a few things from Osama's point of view?  ...I read "To The Americans" and I could understand his reasoning behind a lot of the stuff.  I even agreed with a few things...

...

If I disappear within the next few days, the CIA have taken me.  To protect your own safety, please forget all about me...

*sigh*

Ｓｕｎｓｈｉｎｅ　はるか　なる　だいち　明日　え　と　つずく　道
Ｍｏｏｎｌｉｇｈｔ　生まれて　は　きえる　りゅうせい　を　みあげた
ただ　おとずれる　春　の　花　の　目　の　いぶき　に　にた
Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｙｏｕ　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｙｏｕ　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｙｏｕ
「いきてく　こと　は　愛　する　こと　愛　される　こと」と

私はＧｌａｙがずっとずっと大好だよ～！
