I hope you realize that while I fail to update this journal I actually write in my blog regularly, just so you know. I just thought that since I don't actually get to speak with you all that often, maybe I should do some posting here.Maybe.

How's life?
Life is good. Thanks. I just finished my anthropology exam and got permission from two professors to head out early for spring break so that I can attend a freaking sweet symposium on environmentalism in Asia taking place in Kentucky University. Tatematsu Wahei, the author the book I wrote my final report on in Japanese last semester is speaking thursday night on current environmental issues in Japan and how they are reflected in fiction and the media. I'm am sooo exciting about attending! However, I don't really want to go alone so if anyone is free Thursday and Friday, March 20 and 21 and are interested in the Environment, you should definitely come with me and attend this thing. It will be sweet, because Tatematsu Wahei is a really good author, and an environmental activist (plus for a middle aged guy, he's pretty darn attractive if the pictures are anything to go by). Simran, you should come with me!!!!! Please! (but you don't have to. I'm thinking of asking my dad if he wouldn't mind taking that friday off work to come with me if no one else is interested. Im wimpy enough to be scared of going alone. Matt, you should tell Mr. Hochstrasser about it. You are taking Environmental Studies right now, right? Hmmm, I don't remember.

This is the website for the symposium. It's going to be educational, that's probably one of the reason's my professor's don't mind giving me permission to skip off for Spring Break early. That and I asked really early and I am a freaking sweet student that emits an aura or trustworthyness.

I finished my first full game on PSP, Legend of Heroes II, and have started Final Fantasy II. It's alot of fun, and it's quite nice to hear all this music I know that was reused in later final fantasy games in this early game. That and it seems like some new movies have been added in, i.e, a very good graphic intro movie that I hope there will be more of.

Anyway, you should all tell me how you are doing. Hows life? How's school? fighting off the depression easily enough?
