So after 4 years of slogging it out through a Science course, which to be honest never really clicked with me, I'm off to Japan. To teach English. To kids. Probably in a small town, probably smaller than Galway! I'm actually really looking forward to it, it has dawned on me very suddenly that i'm gonna be leaving alot behind though. I'm gonna miss my fam and friends but to be real, I'd be a fool to pass up this opportunity. I think i'm gonna really enjoy it and I think I can do a good job too, plus the moneys good! Alot of the emphasis in the job seems to be on "grass roots internationalization", whatever that is. From my experience of Japan its a fairly heterogenous society, I guess part of it is just broadening peoples experiences of different cultures and stuff. I know i'll do a good job at that, I just gotta be myself and represent my country. I do that everyday, most of my friends are not from Irish backrounds....and alot only came here in the last 10 years or so (Which is pretty significant when your only 21). So anyway....apart from that i'm studying for finals and looking forward to being finished with anything remotely science related for a while. Probably won't update this for a while but thought I should throw something fresh on as i'm sure people are gonna wanna read this come 4 months when they can't see me anymore!
