So it has been some time since I have last overcome my negligence in writing in this. I definitely slacked on writing about the trip to Japan, one entry that left out over 50% of the trip is bad. I am just going to use this entry to kind of summarize what I slacked on entering for the past two months (god that really is a long time :O!). I also have a TON of pictures to post, I took a lot in Japan and then brought my camera to two ultimate tournaments. So here goes the timeline:
- In Japan, I visited Shibuya, Shinjuku, Yokohama, Ikebukuro, Tokyo University, Shinagawa, Odaiba, Ginza, Asakusa, Ueno, and probably a number I am forgetting. I got to see a Japanese baseball game (pictures to be posted), tried a lot of delicious food, and got to see a lot of the city. I already can’t wait to go back.
- After returning, Kim stayed with me for two weeks and it was nice having company whenever I got home. It is also very nice to make food for people. My mom and dad even came over for dinner one night (I made steak and mashed potatoes).
- I turned 24, it is not much of a milestone. I just felt the same. I did want to get myself something as a gift, but couldn’t think of anything. I figure I will treat myself to something later…
- I went to CHC (Chicago Heavyweights Championships), which is a large midwest tournament for ultimate in Naperville. We went 1-5, but contended very well in most games. It was a nice weekend of ultimate.
- I attended a wedding in Vincennes for one of my second cousins. It was nice seeing that side of the family (for the first time in four years >_>). I went with my mom and sister and it was nice to just see Vincennes as more of a tourist than just sitting around a house.
- I attended the mixed sectionals tournament for ultimate. It was in Rockford, IL. We didn’t win any, but we played well in a number of games. It was a sad end to a season, but we definitely were playing a lot better than when we started.
I have a TON of pictures to post from Japan and two tournaments. I need to go through since these are all at a higher res than I think my old web server can handle. I also need to clean up and pick the pictures to put on here. I need to also make an effort to try and caption all of them, since it kind of sucks not knowing what you are seeing. I also want to try and use goodreads to track the books I am reading/have read/want to read. So that may get added to the site at some point. Hopefully, it won’t be another two months until I post again.
