Returning

So played golf today for the first time in almost a year. It actually went really well considering that I hadn't swung (spelling? for some reason that looks weird to me). I couldn't putt to save my life however.

Been seeing a lot of people and that has been really fun. I have been to the movie theater 3 times in 5 days with different people each time, and watched who knows how many movies at home. I saw War of the Worlds, Star Wars Episode III, and Batman Begins (in that order). The last was great, the first was entertaining, and the third was well...good...but still Star Wars. My mom even enjoyed Batman, though. I even got to finish the third season of Buffy! As well as watch the entire first season :) Now just the fourth season to go...

I've been pretty successful unpacking, but my room is still a mess with little things for people and presents for myself--I don't know where to put them yet. I miss my friends from Japan, and I keep thinking that I see them around Kalamazoo. It's so weird for me to realize like that that I will never see many of those people again (although sometimes I am thankful for that).

But there will be no more exciting Japan updates (for those of you who enjoyed reading them). For now, that chapter is closed. SIP is next...
