as of 11:00 this morning, i am officially a graduate of uh-hilo in japanese studies.

it's been a long time coming and i'm glad to have finally reached this goal. i'm a little hesitant as to what awaits me, especially since i have nothing lined up, nothing planned. i'll either stay in hilo, find a job, live somewhere, either continue staying at my uncle's or get a place with iris and some other friends. or i'll move to new hampshire and live with my parents for a little while. not really the greatest choice i would've liked, but rent will be free so i'll be able to save as much money as i want to. what to do. what to do.
