I officially turned 21, which is fantastic because I have never indulged in an alcoholic beverage before today.
Even though I will be spending the Fall semester in Rome, I am in the process of writing application letters and personal statements and applying for programs in Japan that will take place next summer and the following academic year. It's strange to think that even though I spent this summer in Michigan, I will (hopefully) spend my next two birthdays with Japanese host families; it is also fucking cool that my birthday in Japan is the festival Tanabata. I'm looking forward to spending this birthday with my Mom (and maybe my Dad), and it is difficult to think that next two birthdays I have will be spent without her-- even though I spent several birthdays away from home, the most notable being my 17th in Switzerland in 2005.
I really need to dedicate some time tomorrow or at least on Wednesday to finish this application for Kwansei Gakuin >:[
