[...] After working at various jobs for the last 15 years, from construction to fast food to office management to .., and getting certifications/degrees in all manner of specialties, I’ve come to accept that I definitely have issues. Unfortunately, I do not stop at simple education wish-wash/dithering. Oh no. That would be too simple. Too easy. I do indeed suffer from what could be qualified as massive attention disorders on a life-impacting scale. ~ Dr. Dave [Gavi Rated: PG] [...]

Everybody:

Thanks for the kind words! And whether you live in Japan, Colombia or elsewhere: do not despair, chances are we will manage to hook up at one point or another…

neuro: thanks a lot for the offer. As for work: I was planning to do the French student thing and flip burgers or work an unpaid internship serving coffee and buying donuts…
Alright, coming to think of it, maybe I should talk to your boss

michel Спасибо… but I won’t be crossing the border just right now… gimme a few more months to gather my microfilms and I’ll be right there…

Oh no!!! I’m so sad to hear you’re leaving! Actually, I’m coming up on the end of three years here too (well, okay, technically it’ll be a few months yet) and am holding that great “what should I do, what should I do” debate with myself.

Stay or go, stay or go? I really want to stay, but like you said, sometimes I wonder what’s going on “in the real world”, where I’m going with my life, and what kind of future – really – can actually be had here.

I’m sad to hear you’re going, but I can appreciate everything you mentioned that goes into making that decision. I hope I’ll be able to reach a conclusion one way or another as you did in a few months when my current visa runs out.

Best of luck and ganbatte!! I know you can pass 3kyu!!! Now if I only I could get my head out of my arse and mail in the damn application myself! the september 5th deadline is whipping around the corner!!

P.S. If you ever find out what to do with the play money that is the mountainous pile of ichi en coins all us foreigners have stashed away in our little cubbyhole apartments do let me know. My collection is threatening to engulf my bedroom and swallow me whole in a big pile of inexplicably-weighing-next-to-nothing-shiny-ness. (^_^)v

NO!!! I will miss you!!! But I am pleased that you are starting a new adventure.

Awwww! We are saddened that you will not join us down here in South America! We will keep the cachaça flowing, and hold on to that spare mattress in case you decide to visit us.
