New year and new blog!


Hi guys! 。◕ ‿ ◕。

As you can see this is my first post on this blog.

I mean to post more, but I never got around to it after making the blog! Now that it's the new year I 'm hoping to use this blog more and more during the coming months and year! I got home from school a few hours ago and since I'm not currently doing anything, I thought it was the perfect time to write my first post.

Things have been going nicely lately. In two weeks it's exam week, and after that I have an interview to get into a learning center here in my city, which is paid for and owned by all four high schools in the city! The center has smaller class sizes and more teachers, along with giving the students the ability to finish courses as soon as they've completed the curriculum, so we get to work at our own pace. Working at the center, I could even graduate early!

I've also been studying Japanese with my friend Deanna. She's farther along than I am though. It's hard finding time to study lately between school, writing, and trying to reach my reading goals this year! Since I do want to move to Japan and hopefully teach English some day, I need to start making more time for that and make it a priority. I'm still working on the Katakana and Hirigana, but I think Deanna may have moved onto the Kanji already! Not that it's a race, or anything. Even though it totally is.

I also started drinking a lot more green tea while studying Japan and the culture. I tried some sushi too, but it's clear that it's an acquired taste I haven't gotten yet!

I got a new drawing tablet with my Christmas money, along with a lot of books :) so all in all I've been spoiling myself lately.

My new years resolutions are to lose weight (cliche, I know) create lots of art, and start down the road to becoming fluent in Japanese!

I'll post more soon, but for now have a picture of my cats cuddling in my bedroom!


The grey one is Angus, and the copper beauty is Cami. They're sweethearts who give me plenty of love!

So, what are your new years resolutions?

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear," he growled right before his mouth came down on hers. The perfect cozy, wholesome romance ...
