Whew...long time no see, blog. I've been keeping myself busy one way or another, between the daily grind of college life and a brief Thanksgiving break spent back home, slaving away behind a cash register for the sake of eager holiday shoppers. Having just completed the first week of a new term, I can say that this will be a great time of change for me...I have several major decisions to make, mostly regarding my academic future. I've had a few doubts about my major and have had to step back a few times and evaluate my progress. I definitely want to work in an Asian Studies minor if possible so that I have a backup plan under my belt. In the course of studying Japanese, I realize that my love and interest in the culture/history/etc. nearly outweighs my interest in interior design. The guilt swings around clumsily...after being so sure of myself for so many years, I fear that I'm on the verge of crumbling. Although these next few months will surely confirm my fears, stir up doubt, and turn my world upside down, it'll be a good thing for me. It's just about impossible to learn anything about yourself or the world around you without experiencing some sort of "devastation". This may be the "alarm call" that I need just yet...
