		<description><![CDATA[After my six-month intensive Japanese study period at the end of 2009, I had been been burnt out on studying the language for over a year. For six of those months, I was in America and was trying to enjoy the last vestige of college life. During this time, I rationalized that I would make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t intend for it to be so, but my scramble through Tokyo to buy souvenirs and Christmas presents resembled a highlights show for the last two years. Every area I searched had a little bit of personal history to it, as did many of the places I whizzed past. Some were made in the [...]]]></description>

The dove returned clasping an adorable kitten picture in its talon, and Matt knew that The Internet had returned. Despite my best intentions to keep this blog updated before I had internet installed at my apartment, things obviously did not [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll briefly cover what I&#8217;m actually doing over here and how things have been. The majority of my weekdays are spent at work. We have a pretty flexible working schedule and can choose [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Background music in Japanese restaurants come in one of two flavors: modern or American. Never both. I&#8217;ve frankly not known what &#8220;the kids&#8221; have been listening to since my iPod liberated me from the radio in high school, so I&#8217;m fine with the musical selection lagging behind a few years. In fact, I can think [...]]]></description>

Most of my family has been reading my blog (they likely made up about 4,000 of my 6,300 total views), but once school starts back up in January, I&#8217;m likely to be bombarded with that wonderful question that well-intentioned acquaintances who only realized you were gone [...]]]></description>

During my 18 day romp through Europe, there was a ton of stress to get things done and see what you needed to see. Enjoying yourself seemed to take a backseat to checking off a list of [...]]]></description>
