So I haven't written anything on here for a good 4 or 5 months, and haven't posted anything in even longer. The good news, I actually do have things I can post now. I've been incredibly busy the last half of this quarter, and now finally have some time to do things like, well, write in my DA journal.
So what have I been up to the last few months? Well, I just submitted my thesis yesterday, and am preparing for what is supposed to be my last academic quarter in the US. The realization that I'll be living in Japan for a little while sank in last Thursday night, and I was ready to throw up on the spot. I'm glad I didn't, my tea ceremony teacher probably wouldn't appreciate it, and I bet throw up is impossible to get out of tatami. I've also been playing a lot of shows with my band and seeing all my other friends play. The DIY music scene in Santa Cruz is pretty cool.
Lastly, I have a new camera, one that promises to be interesting, and when I put up some new photos from it, I'm pretty sure you guys will be able to tell there's something different about it.
I'm driving home to LA on Friday to officially begin winter break, but since all I have left are TA duties, it feels like it's already begun...which is why I'm writing on here.
