Pictures, and some Japanese.

Finally, I can blog some again! I had to buy a new laptop and have been installing stuff and getting things in order. I think I’m all set now.

I wrote a letter and then tried to translate it into Japanese. Some of it was beyond what we’ve gone over in class, so I had to look things up and try to get it right. Lots of fun, but I’m sure at least half of it is very incorrect.
If you read it and see [...]

Winter is definitely here

We’ve had a very warm winter so far, and hardly any snow at all. Well, a couple of days ago it started snowing and it’s been snowing since. This is what the weather’s been like:
