*HUGS* for the panic attack-ness. so lucky that he was there to cart you off home (and your health is more imp than free food!). *hugs more* look after yourself, okay. veges are important, you :|

wow that's SO COOL about Washington University, it looks pretty high up there! even just to be invited. (can you get financial support?)

did you apply for JET? that's got to be soon, i think?

my kiwi friend in my first 7 months here (and like the only person i could relate to in my previous job) left after 7 months, mainly because she missed her bf too much (they'd been together longer than you guys tho). i don't think it's something you should ignore, really, especially if you're going abroad, because living abroad can be really lonely/isolating/a rough haul. but i can't really talk since i haven't had a serious relationship ever, yay for my social failings *shot*.

ps. i got your email but i didn't really know what to say...it was mostly about uni stuff and there's not much i can say about that? idk. but thank you for emailing ♥ HAVE YOU WATCHED ANY OF MY VIDEOS? my last one has like 1000 views, wth!
