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?

Blueberry picking day one?

Today... Was a freakin loooong day! I started pretty early around 8ish? Well I woke up around 7ish to get ready and my whole family along with my mom's friend went to the blueberry farm. It is an organic farm so everything is natural. Well it is a good thing for the customers but it is quite a challenge for the pickers. Since it rained last night, early in the morning the bushes were still wet. It was slightly chilly too. In a way it made work a lot more tolerable because it was so cool and I thrive on the cool weather. There was one summer where all I did was raspberry picking. From then on I never wanted to eat raspberries again. However that has been slowly changing. This time if I continue to pick blueberries I might I won't want to eat blueberries for a long time. That is a little sad but sadly it might come true. We worked for a long time until around 4ish and I didn't do well. However it was also the first day or everyone. I don't know. I only managed 2 bucket...

End of the semester!.... soon

So.... my 3rd year as a university student is slowly coming to an end... Exactly on April 5th it will end... That is if I don't take summer courses this semester. I am still wondering about that this year. Whether to do that or not. Anyways, I have exciting news to post today. I got an e-mail from the university, after FINALLY declaring my major of a general Pacific and Asian Studies BA, I can graduate next year in April. If I don't decide to minor that is. If I do decide to minor then I'm afraid I have to graduate in 2015 but if not... I can graduate next year... in April. How exciting is that? I know most people would like to be a university forever... but I think otherwise. I am kind of tired of school right now and just do something... mind numbing for a while I guess. However, I probably will get tired of that too quickly and need to find a job. I don't know what job I can get with my major but I'm not worried about that... as much... right now. What I am ...

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 ...
