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?

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...
