Hey Alex - it's good to hear from you!! I'm sorry I've been really bad at staying in touch too - I've been meaning to email you for awhile, but just didn't have much to report. I did finish the paralegal program - but now it might not even mean anything since we are moving from Chicago in September! we just decided yesterday - I am meaning to post about this later on LJ, and I can send you an email too. if things work out, I might be back in Japan by next spring. but this time I'm optimistic - things will be better. I've got lots to report, so I'll email you later!

p.s. - I think I've changed my layout a few times since the sunflowers, you've been gone awhile:)

*hugs* - I hope you're doing good!!
