Some sort of life update

So I have to admit, I am not the best blogger in the world. Part of me wants to delete everything and restart everything but one weakness of mine is never really finishing what I started. This is something I am constantly working on.

As sort of a life update: I have decided to not re-contract as an ALT and have applied and have been accepted to school. I will be returning to Canada in August, however, I am going to be moving to Toronto. It's a shame, I didn't really do much blogging about my time here in Japan as an ALT. Now that I have the time, sort of, I guess I should really post and organize my blog a little bit better.

I have to admit, during my three years as an ALT here, I have traveled a lot around Japan. I managed to see a lot of shows, concerts and enjoyed my time very nicely. Now, it's time for me to buckle down and really think about things through.

My last trip as my time as an ALT here will be a three day road trip to Shimane Prefecture. I am looking forward to that. However, the last couple months on this trip will primarily be focused on me trying to move out, organize the billion of things I managed to accumulate the past three years and try to tie up loose ends. It's bitter sweet but it's time to move on with the next chapter of my life. Although I am nervous to move as well as to going back to school. I don't know how graduate school life will treat me. I just hope I will be able to finish it well and will have figured out where I will be next.

Hopefully, as well, I could organize my blog a little better too.

Well short update but I've got to start somewhere right?

Transfer and Communication

So, I arrived in Seoul after a long 14 hour trip. 14? maybe even 15. The layover in Shanghai was brutal to say the least. Well the flight to Shanghai itself was brutal as well. First, there was no tv like i'm used to on long flight travels. Second, My laptop wasn't fully charged, so I couldn't even use it for long as I was saving it for the layover. Third, Food/service on the plane wasn't that great. I got 2 meals and some sort of sandwich snack. Also, I told you yesterday about gate checking in my guitar? Well, that didn't work out well. At least they let me put it in the overhead compartment besides it being a full flight. However, I sat beside a really nice person who helped me. The flight attendants were not really good at understanding English, so the person beside me helped me ask the flight attendants what to do and etc. So the 12 hr flight to Shanghai was brutal with me fighting to sleep or staring into nothingness, attempt at conversation to the perso

Osaka! Takarazuka! Junsu?

So where do I begin? Last time I told you I was going to update in Japan but I ended up not doing that because on the flight to Japan, I made friends with the person beside me. We somehow connected in conversations during the flight over that, before she had to move on to Shanghai, thought we should chill together a little bit more. (Which reminds me that I need to e-mail her). Anyways, the flight over to Korea eventually was uneventful besides the turbulence in the beginning, well landing in Japan was very turbulent as well. The weather was not great at that time to say the least. Landed safely and I was happy to see that my friends had came to pick me up. Keeping it Korean style, decided to take a picture of my arrival/reunion. We caught up with each other on the way to the friend's place I'm staying at, and it really felt surreal for me to be back in Korea. It was nice and welcoming at the same time it was... yup I'm in Korea... kind of reaction. Since my plane lande

Now that I am home

I have been back home for 3 days already. It feels more like a week already because this stupid jetlag is not helping me at all. Today is the 11th already. It doesn't feel like it. Today? Yesterday? well on the 10th, I meant to wake up earlier... like 10 in the morning but instead, I woke at around 4 in the evening. Just in time for the dinner gathering my family had with my aunt and uncle that came by from the other side of Canada. It was nice to see them again but the whole time I was kicking myself in my head because I didn't wake up earlier. Now I am suffering from the consequences... It sucks because outside... there is light already. I should go to bed because there is another family gathering I have to go to at 9:30am and I have an orientation thing that I have to go to with the volunteering thing I am doing this summer at 1pm... and I think I might have to drive for it. But here's the thing... I can't sleep. Sleep~ please come to me now... at least for

Where are you now karmie?
