A Jumble of Updates

Reading old posts, I realised that a few ongoing stories have now been wrapped up. To finalize this wrap up, here are a collection of updates:

*I passed level 3 of the JLPT. Thank goodness, as I would've been completely humiliated if I failed this year. This doesn't mean much, but it's a nice, small milestone for me.

*I officially said no to another year in Japan. Aaron n I will be back in the states by the end of July, although Aaron'll probably head home a bit earlier. I've always been open about our 2 year timeline, so I was nicely surprised that a few of the teachers sweetly tried to convince me to stay "Think of all the new adventures you can have. And all the puccho flavors you can try!"

Hmmm. I thought there were more. Aw well, I can just throw them up if these mystery stories come up.
