We also managed to settle the problem without a lot of tears or animosity, so we&#8217;re okay! Yay!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also finally got around to rewriting my resume last weekend. It sounds like a simple proposition (considering that it&#8217;s just putting your life and experiences to paper), but it&#8217;s not. Oh, heavens no. It&#8217;s never that simple. I actually haven&#8217;t touched my resume in 4 years&#8211;it didn&#8217;t even include my graduation from university, and the format was kinda blah&#8211;so I decided to just redo the whole thing from scratch. Also, to add to the fun, I also wrote a second resume in Japanese. The funny thing is that it&#8217;s not just a matter of writing the information in another language, but the structure and style of Japanese resumes are totally different.<\/p>\n<p>Though I&#8217;m still keeping my dreams of graduate school alive and well, I think I&#8217;m going to at least give it a shot at some Japanese companies just to see what happens. I&#8217;d like to work in something related to international relations, or advertising or marketing. Obviously translation is my ideal position, but I&#8217;d just like to try something new.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s pretty much life for Jason right now, I suppose! Spending my days working, studying, and all that good stuff. Got vacation coming up next week for 7 days, but no real plans yet. I am thinking of heading down to Disneyland in June, though. I&#8217;ll let you know as that develops.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for this weekend? Gonna go to calligraphy on Saturday, study Saturday night, study Suny, maybe go hiking, and recreate my website over the weekend. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m telling ya, April, you really need one more day. I&#8217;m not asking for a miracle here, or for the world to move.
