The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long 'till happiness steps up to greet me

It's been a long while since I've updated, and I've been able to relax and think of a lot of things about my year abroad. I received the opportunity to see what it's like on my own, to meet new people, and get a better understanding of reality. It is very hard for me to see where I am in my life, though I seem to have planned my academic life pretty well. The overall question is, "what do I want in my life?" and even though academics will be a huge thing, it's not everything.

I've argued in circles my whole life until Japan, so now that I'm graduating, I'm going to have to be more concentrated this year.
On the surface, some people might have appeared as "assholes" but I'm willing to believe that they were there to teach me different things. Ultimately, I turned out to be the asshole for refusing to accept other people's philosophies, i.e., being stubborn about it.

The "arguing in circles" thing is something I want to rid of, but it'll take a while.
But I would like to have fun at the same time, so I have to be careful of what I say.
Making life serious 24/7 is not what I'm going to do, but everything I say will have to be backed up by something else. It'll be hard, but in the long run, it'll help me.

My fourth and final year as an undergraduate. I can't believe it.
