		<description><![CDATA[I guess I really haven&#8217;t addressed that yet. Now that I&#8217;ve got all the philosophical musings out of the way (for now!) 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>

Yes, it&#8217;s a period of time that you once perceived as lasting forever, so realizing that it actually has an ending can be shocking, but why do people think it went fast?

When I clicked submit, I promptly lost that entire half of my post. I&#8217;ll recap again sometime when I&#8217;m not angry, but I&#8217;ll just post the second half for now, which loses all [...]]]></description>
