Final day in Amurrrica

Well it is my last day in America. Pretty exciting stuff if you ask me... This time around I am going to experiment with adding pictures to the post, since I plan on changing the layout soon to make it much cooler to view.

This past week was spring break for most Universities, and like any normal college student I rented a beach house with several friends to enjoy my last full week in the States.

This is the view from our porch; pretty awesome eh!? It was a fun week that I will not be speaking about on any sort of public forum such as this!

The next few days are going to be pretty exciting as I experience Japan for the first time and begin to get adjusted. I will be making a LOT more updates in the next few days so keep looking for new content! I am also very much considering making a video post for people to laugh at. I am thinking something along the lines of "Airport Shenanigans?"

Let me know what you think in the comments below. I am going to open up comments for everyone as a trial. You will be able to post anonymously, so don't abuse the lack of comment security or I will remove it.

And finally, today's "song of the day."

Enjoy ;)

Departure date moved up to March 20!!

Well it seems that I am leaving two days sooner than expected! There was a miscommunication about the exact day I needed to arrive, which has caused me to change my flight so that I leave on March 20th and arrive on March 21st.

The realization that I will no longer be in America in 4 days has really started to hit me, as well as hit my parents. Things are moving a mile a minute here in Houston and I can't wait until all the preparations are finished and I can finally relax on that 14 hour flight.

If you have any questions for me post them in the comments below and I will answer them during the next update.

And with that I leave you with the song of the day! 

1 week until I leave!

Hello everyone reading, which is probably no one right now since this is my brand new blog! I will be updating this bad boy on a pretty regular basis throughout my trip to Japan and beyond. I have heard that most people who study abroad say that they will update their blogs constantly, but fail to do so due to lack of interest. This will NOT be the case with me. I am determined to provide everyone that is interested in my trip with quality updates on a regular basis! They will be entertaining as well.

After each blog entry I will provide a "song of the day" to spice things up. I may also include youtube videos that I have found entertaining, or maybe I'll record videos of myself to upload here. We will just see how things pan out.

Here is the first song of the day by good old Jason Mraz.
