there are a lot of things i don't understand

but i don't need to.
all i know is that i definitely can't pass on this opportunity now.

as i'm burning my tongue with my coffee because i want the caffeine to kick in sooner, my legs and feet are also going numb because i'm sitting in seiza. [mia, i don't understand why i do this to myself either lol]

......that wasn't what i was going to write though.
i just happened to realize that i'm sitting in a tortuous way,
which i will now stop doing.

okay, so what i wanted to write was:
as i'm burning my tongue with my coffee because i want the caffeine to kick in sooner, i checked my email [again!] to find a single, new email. it was about the senior admissions fellows job that i wanted to apply for. the deadline was originally april 9 ~ meaning i only had six more hours to get the application done. (it's the 10th in japan already, but the 13-hr time difference buys me a bit more time... yay!) but with my religion paper still not done, i had lost hope about the possibility of getting a job i really want. anyway, the email was a reminder about this position. i was sure that it would just make me disappointed.... yeah, i know applications are due today =(

i almost deleted it. but i'm glad i didn't. i chose to read it, and...

it turns out the deadline had actually been the 10th! ^_^
[and i'm crazy. my friends can attest to that lol]

i NEED to get the application in.
[and stop blogging so my paper can actually get done :P]

edit:
just wanted to say hi to mia's mom---

hi!! =)
i'll update on the past couple weeks. and try to keep blogging ^_^
nothing's terribly wrong, but i'm sure you've heard similar things from mia ~ it's just that akp/japan can be really exhausting and "de-motivating" at times :(
