After It all

Well it has been a while and im starting to really miss every one there in japan... in about 9 days (8/19/08) there will be a big Board meeting with my school district and disussing how the program went.

it just soo happens that the 19th is my birthday so right now i still dont know if i am goign to the meeting. plus i was supposed to move to San Jose for college.. be well things didnt turn out... the money we were goign to use to help me get a car amd to move out and every thing had to go to my dad for lazer eye sergery...

i guess i can sacrafice a bit for the family. i havent really got a chance to do any thing because of that... ive been scrambling to register for college close to home. so i didnt even perpare a speach for the board meeting. if i do really get called up to the stand.... ill just make it up as i go... it will be hard because i have stage fright (except for when i was in japan for some strange reason....).

Ill make a post for the meeting if i go.  must go.. my dad needs help reading his email and putting more things on ebay. bye byes
