New revelation: I love dark chocolate. There is something awesome about it... sinful. When I eat it, I feel as though I'm doing something wrong, but right at the same time. It's a great feeling.

I was reading Naomi's blog the other day (which is incredible, by the way), and as I read her reflection on what she'll miss in Japan, it got me thinking...

What am I going to miss? Will I miss anything?

Absolutely.

I'm going to miss jumping on the bus, and the trains and being able to go everywhere and anywhere I want. I'm going to miss Tower Records shopping sprees, and now, more recently, GAP shopping sprees with Jesse. I'll miss getting lost in Inokashira Koen, and sipping coffee at Starbucks.

In a way, I'm going to miss this year...

This year, I've realized that the more I sit back and relax...watching things, listening to people, not focusing at school... I've had the best, most relaxing year I've ever had. My grades are not bad. Sure, I've stayed up late finishing homework, but those nights quickly redeem themselves as at look at the bigger picture.

I'm going to miss taking tests in the afternoon with Ms. Pettit, and listening to Icelandic ambient music. I'm going to miss swearing with Naomi about all the work that we have to do at 3:00 in the morning.

I'm going to miss...a lot.
