It's common knowledge that Sesshomaru and the rest of the gang are from Japan, so don't be so confused about the tittle of this blog entry ok!
anyways, yea guys, just thought I might share with you that as I get further along in my education in college, I've made this deision that as my first act of studying to be a teacher (did I even mention I was study to be an art teacher...yea...that's happening btw) was to take the chance to travel to japan for a year, as a english teacher (i'll be one of the few people doing this that actually studied to be a teacher haha). So yea in an estimated two years (maybe two and a half or three, money is a big issue right now) I will set into motion the month and a half long process of interviews, vaccination submissions, and passport purchasing processes to dig up my shallowly planted roots of my small home town and head off to japan.
weather in two years I still feel this way is up in the air, and I have many companies to comb through, as well as actually finnishing school. as it stands I'm in a major bind and may end up having to drop out of school for a semester or two because of the lack of income I'm currently pulling in. (btw, this also contributes to the lack of updates). I'm sure if I was to suddenly aquire a large amount of money, I would be hunky dory ya know.
however I think i mentioned this before that life is giving me one hard swift kick to my ass. not only that, but the issue arose that, while I thought I wanted to rush off to my wedding day and be happily skipping down the wedding ailse. my dear boyfriend mentioned to a friend of his that he intended to propose after he was finished with college. of course me jumping to conculsion since dear heart is only a year and a half away from that point, I assumed that it would mean...almost right after it would happen.
I told him so...that it terrified me seeing as that wasn't long away, and I was actually having cold feet at the thought of it. It means I clearly wasn't ready, not to mention with the idea of going to japan in my head now, I'm looking foreward to the sudden liberation that would come from it seeing as I would be alone. and no, so far it seems he has expressed no interest in following me there for the year I intended to stay. (remind you, I only want to stay a year to expreince the feeling of having finally seen a culture I've pratically worshiped since grade school).
I've already got a fairly good grasp of the language, the only think left now is to actually learn words and what they mean and put them in the correct order to form a sentence. I've got the pronoucation down fine...sort of. I figure if I can read romaji correctly and be understood (dispite it being a google translation) then I'm good to go right.
I'm now looking for a better job to, if I ever hope to make this dream come true, I HAVE to find a higher paying job, and the only glimmer of hope I can see is the slowly developing casino in town that has to hire all it's staff before the opening. I'm betting on this limited, but rare, bilingual state i'm in, in two languages, Chinese and Japanese, will be my trump card to working there. even though I'm neither gorgous or model level in appearence like they are asking.
<----This be me here!
but that be ok, as long as they stick me somewhere, it's better then working my tail end off at a place of work where I make only 4 dollars an hour and not compensated when tips don't add up to mininum wage. (think it be illegal huh...ha...doesn't seem like it in the state of louisiana).
deep down I think i'm hoping that the casino, being a chain casino (imagine that...that's right folks...CHAIN Casino's) will bring me to a high level of standing. probably become a translator for the patrons that attend our casino's, Asian (primarily Japanese and Chinese) being the majority. you might argue I should learn korean instead, but I can give you all the reasons why I won't learn korean.
I don't have time to learn a language I have no familirority with
I've been studying japanese since grade school
I had a chinese classmate who taught me quite a bit
I tried....I failed....can't even say hello right.
so there you go, my point has been made. so anyways, it's now 3 am that I've written this, i'm about to face smack into my keyboard (maybe). if you want to help me out...then when the semester is over (around december) consider giving me a message on a commission..something simply ok. see if that helps, if not, point me in the right direction for scholarships or awesome job ops. (not another Caisino) hell if you know for a fact there's a pet store looking for good animal people. i'm right here.
That reminds me, my next blog...might be on a simple new project i'm considering posting here....tittled "Hobo Fur", a comic strip based off the hassels of working in a pet shelter.
k! Sayounara!! and Good night!
v------------btw...enjoy so japanese music, One OK Rock- deeper deeper!
