Return Visit to Japan

I've bought a round-trip ticket to Japan! This time I'll only visit for 2 weeks but it will be amazing nonetheless. I will arrive June 7th and return to the USA on June 17th, 2011. Because I left so abruptly in March in light of the nuclear disaster, I felt the need to visit again.. maybe for some sort of closure to what was a great experience that ended too soon. Most of my fellow exchange students returned to complete the year so I will be visiting them as well as my English students and other Japanese friends. There is a 16 hour time difference, so I am preparing to drink lots of coffee and run on little sleep during my short stay. Details and photographs to come, y'all!

Certificate of Completion

















I received this awesome certificate from Otaru University of Commerce to commemorate my semester of studies.  A big thank you to the international office at OUC for making this certificate and mailing it to me. It is truly a lifetime keepsake.
