emails from friends in japan full of fantastic things:

yesterday, on my way for food in the canteen i met the chef who was so shocked, then pleased to see a foreigner in his canteen, he got down for a breakdance. after a couple of very impressive moves, i guess he was expecting me to do likewise… the food was as always good, but if i don’t break some moves one of these days, who knows what i could be fishing out of my soup?

as a reaction to all this “studying abroad” going on amongst my friends and hyped up by a message i saw on my colleges system about studying abroad i decided to ask them [my college] if i was eligable (as im not a full time student), they responded by quickly enough with the answer of “no”. so no berlin / barcelona / prague / [insert random city name here] for me next year for a while.

over the last few days i have gone from despising flash to the current mood of “reluctant acceptance” that i have to study it and learn the finnikity ways of tween motion all through finnish. (update: i hate flash again.) en ymmärrä. my frustration with flash has been replaced with a frustration with the course application process that one has to go through on my colleges website. it just doesnt make any sense. none.
