一年ぶり

It took a year until now for me to come back to this blog again, after long hard-studying (my main business from 4 years ago and probably continuing many years from now). Too bad I was never able put my mind to write something in the blog. I tends to have an atttitude that if I were to write something, that has to be serious or perhaps helps to hone my literary strength, which is why it took me so much of my busy time to write and I ran out of anything important to write. In other words, I hate it when I read my old posts finding myself ranting nonsense. A lot of times, blogging as a genre does not work that way. Probably I should fix this attitude. Probably I should find some titles like "how-to blogging" or "advice on procrastinating with blogging" (or rather how to not prostinating on your blog") and the like.

So now I am approaching it afresh. I think maybe this is a good idea to write just a little but often..like everyday...like a record of any good things that happen day-to-day. like recently...now that I'm studying abroad in Kyoto...I'm missing my roommates and college friends so much...and also Thanksgivings (not that I really celebrate Thanksgivings...just feel like something is missing)

After all, this is quite confusing. Last week I was missing my blockmates and friends in the US for a minute, then I enjoyed hanging out with people in Kyoto the other. Living Kyoto is basically a lot of fun and I have many particular liking to my new life here, like the university, student life, my lab, my teachers, new friends. etc. As I write my statement of purpose and think a lot about future, career, grad school etc, I begin to reflect on the pros and cons (largely the latter) of Harvard education as well. That's sort of weird feeling.

(Self-analysing...) probably.. while I enjoyed my perfect mobility roaming around in these different societies, I feel like, on the other hand not completely settled down anywhere. Life is such in a modern society, isn' it?
