• Leaving Tsukuba

  
  

  A year ago, I was in Tokyo, getting ready for a normal, not-out-of-the-ordinary year here in Tsukuba, Japan.

  
  

  A year has passed.

  
  

  And looking back, this has been a year of firsts.

  
  

  
  
  • First time to really be away from home (parents not in the same country).
  
  
  • First time to really live alone (no roommates)
  
  
  • First time to experience a college class taught in Japanese
  
  
  • First time to have to defend the US from a different point of view
  
  
  • First time to become so buddy-buddy with a professor.
  
  
  • First time to really fall for someone
  
  
  • First time to sleep in a girl's room (nothing happened)
  
  
  • First time to hold a girl's hand (nothing happened afterwards)
  
  
  • First time doing real work (job-wise, not academic)
  
  
  • First time to be called "senpai"
  
  
  • First time to act like a senpai
  
  
  • First time to have to bike so much (got so good I can ride w/o hands)
  
  
  • First time to be able to do and experience so much other than studying

  
  

  So many more other firsts that I can think of if I had more time.

  
  

  Thanks to those who made this year as good as it was.  I am indebted to you all.
