my japanese lessons pay off

“Forgive my humble finger bones for accidentally typing this, and be assured that my ancestors meant you no harm by breeding me to be in this time and place where I have the opportunity of saying so, but You have been taking far far far too much Japanese!!!” - Jonathan

regrets

“Make sure your regrets in life are from things you did, not things you didn’t do.” - Jerry Bastida

interview granted

Eriko has an interview at the US Embassy. With that, only 3 steps remain for her to be able to enter the country on a fiancee visa.

driven by dreams

the first time i met Eriko was in a dream i had. i can’t remember if i chronicled it on this diary or not, but when we finally met in person i told her about it and she said “that’s me.” i had another such dream in the last year, where i was flying a mini helicopter. ever since then, i’ve wanted to have my own personal flying machine. i wonder if i will dream of my future career?

one screw away

i am one screw (which needs to be drilled out) away from removing the junk that masquerades as a closet in my room. cleanup will be more work and reconstruction will be the part which requires thought, but my first home project has been enjoyable so far.

procrastination

i hate it! this morning i woke up at 5 am to finish my homework. had i planned ahead a bit, i wouldn’t have to do this last minute work. i don’t understand why i haven’t learned this lesson.
