Seems I missed a day or something. Well not much happened, I have been writing my various papers. I have one for an application, one for my TEFL class and the main one for Evergreen. I think I've made an important decision here; although I always thought to keep studying during my whole life, I think I will make it more of a full-time pursuit. There are so many things I want to learn that I can't just stop and settle down. I need to keep moving and learning, language, art, music, etc.. Easier said than done though. I think one way to keep myself going is to create small research projects which someone will be expecting to recieve that way I will actually finish them. As far a language goes I will probably need to take classes. There are 4 languages I want to eventually be proficient in: Japanese, Sanskrit, Spanish and Arabic. Japanese mostly because I plan on spending more time here and my study of the shakuhachi and woodblock printing. Sanskrit so I can study the scriptures in their original form. Spanish because next to English seems to be very wide spread. Arabic because it seems to be an important language in our century, and I like the writing. These languages will also allow me to travel and understand people in different places. Of course art is my main focus of study, but doesn't really feel like study because I enjoy is so much, same goes for the shakuhachi. These are things I would do anyway. I enjoy language and history also, but they take more prompting to get completed for me. Well thats all for today. Tonight I'm going back to that nice little cafe with Sybill to study more kanji, she is the one who really motivated me to study language more. She knows German, French, English, and Latin. Quite impressive I do say. In the meantime I need to figure out what to do with the day. I can't write all day that would..well ..be tedious I need to do some wandering, at least alittle. Jya ne
