So I just found out during my stay in Japan, Sophia University hosts an annual music festival (student music groups) and a dance festival (student dance groups)! And I can join any one of 250 extracurricular activity groups, including filmmaking, Ikebana (Japanese art of flower arranging), modern dance, skiing, scuba diving, and travel groups, as well as a ton of volunteer opportunities! Okay, only I would get this excited over this...

About Me
About This Blog
I've finished my third year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying Graphic Communication and Psychology, and I'm going abroad next fall to study in Tokyo, Japan. This is a blog documenting my anticipations, preparations, and finally my adventures in Japan!
Having wished I had something like this to look at while making my own decision to study abroad, my hope is for this blog to be of some help to others in a similar situation. It's also a really nice, therapeutic way to vent and to document for myself all of my thoughts about this crazy exciting time in my life!
