So I have decided to begin selling my artwork to help fund my study abroad trip to Kansai Gaidai in August! So far I have gotten over 10 orders in ONE DAY! I am beyond thankful and excited, for money is hard to come by these days. I am planning on traveling a TON my year in Japan, and I am hoping to save over $3000 for my trip, and I only have 5 months to do so! If you all are interested please feel free to check out my artwork page on Facebook! Hopefully this will help me get some money saved, plus working at my job all summer full time! If you check out my page, please like and share my page!

I RECEIVED MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER!
I FINALLY received the dreaded letter, and was ecstatic to see that I was accepted to the Kansai Gaidai study abroad program! I am now on the second part of the study abroad application process. I now have to send materials directly to Kansai Gaidai and attend a pre-departure orientation in April... Which is just around the corner! This whole emotional roller coaster ride has all been worth it. It's hard to grasp the concept that I will be in Japan in only 5 MONTHS... that's the blink of an eye! Now I need to focus on getting the proper materials sent to Kansai Gaidai and making all A's in my current courses. I will post my pre-departure materials on the blog after I attend! I also need to find some time to post another helpful tips post rather than these quick posts about my personal life! On an end note, I was introduced to this amazing video through a friend and I thought I should share (: Please leave me comments and suggestions on what I should post about next! I'm thinking about some interesting culture shock stories!

Quick Update
Sorry for the late post, I have been so busy with midterms and college I have had NO time to blog!
I just wanted to give everyone an update on my application status for my study abroad trip to Kansai Gaidai. Soon (hopefully within the next couple weeks) I will get an acceptance letter (or the opposite) in the mail, and I am quite nervous, I shouldn't since I am almost guaranteed into the program, yet there is still this lingering nervous feeling in my stomach. I think the thought of not being able to be in Japan for a year is pretty heartbreaking, since it has been 2 years since I have been back and its killing me. All I can think about lately is being back in Tokyo and seeing my previous host family! Thankfully, if I don't get into the program I will still travel there this summer and visit for over 2 months then apply again in the fall for spring semester. So stressful! When I receive an acceptance letter it will feel amazing to relieve all this stress! Anyways, good luck in school and life for anyone who read this! sometime next week I will post another culture blog! So keep an eye out for it! (:
P.S. THANK YOU! I have had amazing traffic and feedback for the blog, and it means the world to me, especially since this is my first blog! You guys are awesome! Leave me some more comments <3
