Working Hard
14Sep07I think this is shaping up to be the most challenging semester I have so far experienced. I guess that’s fitting seeing as it will be my last before graduation.
Currently, I have three papers due in the near future with more to follow in the next couple weeks. In an attempt to assess how bad […]
Back from Kyoto
10Sep07Teru invited Justin and I to take a trip to Kyoto and we eagerly accepted. We left Saturday morning and it took about five hours of driving before we arrived in Japan’s former capital.

On Saturday, Justin and I went with our friend Teru to Mount Fuji. With some effort we ascended the steep rocky […]

I just want to graduate.
