Hello everyone!! Long time no see, huh? >.< I'm really sorry about the HUGE absence haha..this seems to keep happening. OTL
But yeah, Summer A has officially ended and so has Part 1 of my work as a tutor/volunteer in a Japanese class! I had a SUPER busy day yesterday meeting friends because I'm about to go away for a week starting tomorrow to visit my sister in Texas and see my dad! So that's going to be exciting. ^^
Anyways, about my time away...well let's just say there's been quite a bit going on. I've been trying not to shirk off my duties as a co-host for the Secret Santa X-mas in July event, so I'll probably end up doing some extra work to keep up here @__@ So far, there's been drama between two of my good friends because one of them likes the other while the other thinks the other is annoying(that's a lot of others in a row but anyways...), and I've been trying to encourage them both without infringing too much on either's space >.< It's tough! But they are both my good friends and even if it means I end up being hated by the two of them at my expense, I just want things to turn out well.
^Which is an awful thing to say, I know, but I don't know..I just care about them so much and just want the best for both of them no matter what!
So in any case, yesterday was a really busy day. I spent the first part of my day eating a final Summer A brunch at an Asian restaurant with my Japanese professor, some of her students and some of the other volunteers, and that was a lot of fun. ^^ It was also kind of emotional too...all of the students just came up and hugged me as I was leaving and some of them(including my professor) even wrote me thank you cards! @___@ I was just so surprised haha!<3 But I love them so much and they are all my new friends! ^^
After that, I went to Panera bread to practicing listening and speaking Japanese for close to 3.5 hours haha. It was REALLY exhausting on my brain to hear them speak so fast, but I tried! @__@ It went well though and I made some new friends!
THEN after that I had to drop my friends back on campus, so I stayed with them for a while before I had to meet up with my friend from high school to eat dinner and then watch Brave!<3 (which was a really good film by the way...I thought it wouldn't be that good, but it was surprisingly good!)
Other than that, it's been pretty crazy but also FUN~! I think this definitely has to be one of the best summers I've had! And I'm glad it's been busy ^^ I'm going to start tutoring this little girl in July along with my volunteering for Japanese class in Summer B and 2 other classes, so I hope it's not too overwhelming! But I think it'll be just enough busy-ness that I can tolerate! ^^
Art-wise, I obviously(if you guys couldn't tell already from my raving OTL) haven't made much time for it, but it's about time that I do! I've come to a revelation about what I want to do about my health, so I'm starting to act on it accordingly haha. I'm very excited and I hope you all are excited about how life is gong as well!
Things are looking up and looking good! ^^ Take care everyone!!<33
