I realize that, in about two months, I'll be picking up and leaving my old life behind. Like, almost everything. And I think about the things I will miss.
My cat. My parents are taking him, but I'm going to miss him more than maybe anything or anyone else.
The excellent people with whom I train Taekwondo.
Central Park in fall.
But I am so,...

Everyone is getting engaged or married or having a baby...

i'm doing better. I have a return date to work. Started driving again(freedom) and finally decided to have an official end date to gather research materials for two projects. Plus some dieting and exercising to fit my clothes again.

H-- talked to my mom and brother on Skype today. My father said he "couldn't talk," which means... whatever that means. I hope he will talk to H-- eventually, or he'll probably regret it.
Next week I'll tell my mother I got a job in Japan. I've been trying to build up to the news slowly. I think she'll be more prepared and maybe take...

Does anyone know a good Japanese food cookbook with simple recipes? I want to start practicing to cook with some of the ingredients I'll be more likely to find in Japan. A girl can't live on tofu alone.
Do you ever find that, every time you meet someone with a particular name, you like that person? I always like women named Keiko and men named Mike.

Your friends look awesome. I particulary like the cute one on the right. If she is on this site as a member, I want to be her friend.

They don't look so scary. Bring them on, lol.
Seriously, having friends you can count on means everything.

One of my students with whom I'm pretty friendly had a good suggestion about trying to make my dad feel better about my move to Kyoto. She said I should show him a tour book with lots of pretty pictures so he can see it's a nice place. I'll try.

We got a 60 minute difference. I expect to be available around 9 PM (your time) but if that's too late i can try to make it 8:30 or so. 
ferretbite:
So... no luck 
Tell me something you love about your job!
I love when a student's English gets to the point where you can share funny stories.
If you don't love your current job, what job do you think you would love?

I'm a gardener. I love the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day, when property looks beautiful, and I'm all sweaty and covered in dirt.

Wow! You're the second person on myfriends list to ask that question. I'd love to be the manager of the Chicago White Sox. I know I'd do a great job too.
What have you done to change your life for the better?
A friend of mine asked this on her Facebook status, and I'm interested in all your answers!
The first thing that came to my mind was "I left my Ph.D. program."

nthing yet...but the accident woke me up to alot of things i was doing and i've been slowly changing things(writing etc) to make the changes more permanent.
wsoxfan:
I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started to take responsibility for my happiness.
I have a job interview with a school in Japan that does recruiting in the U.S.
It starts.
It starts.
wsoxfan:
That's awesome. Best of luck with that.

Good Luck
