About Me
What can I say about myself?
I’m a Human, I’m a son, I’m a brother, I’m a friend, I’m a student, I’m a fighter, I’m a falcon, I’m a writer, I’m a dare-taker, I’m an asshole, I’m a hunter of peace, chasing the elusive mayfly known as love, I am many things, but I am one.
I am 22 years old, a senior at Bowling Green State University. I’m 6’5″ (197cm), 245lbs (110kg). I’ve studied Japanese for almost 3 years now, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I lived in Japan from August 19th 2004 until July 5th 2005. It was the defining moment in my life. It was then and there, that I discovered a true passion of my life, Language.
That was a long time ago, and this is now. I’m older, a bit smarter, but still just as interested as I was back then. I’ve received the honor of being able to return to Japan, and study Japanese at Saitama University. All gains are not made without loses, and it’s been a rocky ride so far, and I don’t expect the road to ever be easy.
はじめまして、僕のブログです。
僕はボーリググリーンの教養学部の国際政治と東アジア研究して4年生です。2004-2005年間僕は茨城県の水戸市の私立水城高校に留学生でした。そして、現在は2009-2010年間埼玉県の国立の埼玉大学留学中。5年前からの経験は僕の人生を変えました。僕は情熱を見つけました。 それは言語です。
僕は僕に提示された機会に感謝しています。
よろしくお願いします

Hey there again, Yea, I definitely don’t understand polish, and Google chrome’s translation wasn’t very good, though I got the jist of several posts. There are three polish students here at my University and another two polish former students I know, so I do end up hearing a lot about Poland these days.
Hope you’re having a good time in Japan. Thanks for coming back~ Take care.
