Hey Dad, Not much is up. It’s almost time for spring break so I’m going to try to pick up some more work. I know my Japanese has improved and am feeling good about that. I’ll be in level 4 starting the next semester and am wondering how difficult it’s going to be. This semester…… Continue reading E-mail to Dad 1.21.2004

Master James, I got your new phone number and phone-mail. One of these days we are going to have to drag Horacio away from his girlfriend, find Naoko and get to Karaoke. It’s been too long. Anyway, I was extremely bored last weekend, and came up with an idea. I made a website where international young…… Continue reading E-mail to James 1.14.2004

Hey Brad, Yea, I’m still in Japan and still studying Japanese. I finished one year of the Waseda intensive Japanese program and have almost finished another half year.

E-mail to Mathias 1.5.2004
Hi Mathais! Happy New Year! Waseda is still going well and my Japanese is getting better but I still fail plenty of tests! Level 3 is much more difficult than level 2. I’m enjoying myself though but don’t enjoy all the homework. Aikido is good when I go. I haven’t been there for over a…… Continue reading E-mail to Mathias 1.5.2004
E-mail to Marina 12.24.2003
Hi Marina! I’m busy busy busy! Level one and two Japanese were for morons, but level three is killing me. They really make us do so much homework, and although I’m constantly doing homework, I can never get it done until the day before it’s due. Needless to say I’m ready for a break and…… Continue reading E-mail to Marina 12.24.2003
E-mail to Liu Lian 11.15.2003
Hello Liu Lian! Sorry it took me so long to respond. Level 3 Japanese is extremely difficult and always busy. It’s nothing like level 1 and 2. Also, I have been working more, going to the gym and doing Aikido. So maybe I am trying to kill myself or something, but it seems like all…… Continue reading E-mail to Liu Lian 11.15.2003
