I'm officially finised with high school. Today I just hung out with my Chinese teacher and said goodbye to all my current and past teachers. Everyone was very supportive of my aspirations, and even though 2 years ago I couldn't wait for high school to end, now I kind of want more time. Though I'm definitely not going to miss the tests and homework. It's weird to think that there's people I've seen in the halls every day that I'll never see again. Even if we pass each other in the supermarket, or walking down the street, we'll probably at most exchange a quick glance and be on our ways to the rest of our lives. But I guess that's not something unique to high school. Every day I pass by people that I don't know and likely never will, and I like the idea that my existence is temporary and easily forgotten. Ashes to ashes and so on.
Today's the Christmas of April! Finally my last week of high school! I've been waiting for this for a long time... I still have some physics homework due like
a month ago that I never finished that I'll probably do today if I don't die of boredom halfway through. I'm not sure if I want to really
study for the AP Physics exam, I feel like since I only need a 3 for credit I shouldn't push myself too hard. At the same time, I don't
want to fall behind if i skip the class in college. I'll probably go through some past exams again and do some practice.
lately i'm into shimauta again,
this album by Yanawaraba has been on loop for the past few days, especially "shimanouta." I want to find some more artists with a
similar style of traditional japanese music. I'm also trying to read more manga in Japanese since I have so much free time. I started
Shokugeki no Soma again and tried to read Saiki K, but the quality was too pixelly to make out any words.
Maybe I'll start Lovely Complex again.
I officially committed to the University of Florida and scheduled my orientation for June... I'm also going to be living with my sister, but our apartment is going to be much bigger than Kyoto University's dorms would be lol, so I guess there's a silver lining in everything. I only have about 2 weeks until school is out (forever!!), and I think I just can't wait to never go back there. I will miss my teachers (mostly) though.
I got rejected by Kyoto University... I'm not really sure what I'm going to do in the future, maybe transfer to UTokyo in a year, I'll probably also apply to some other universities in Japan with similar programs to KU. But, I'm definitely going to pick up my Japanese study pace!!
Just a little update about my site:
I've finally set up github so that I can directly edit code online without having to open up vsc every time I want
make a minor change or post a blog update. This should be much quicker and keep updates from taking too long :)
