April Serious Day
We all know what this day means - it's my third anniversary on the blogosphere. No fooling.
Not a lot has changed this past year although plenty of things have happened. It's hard to imagine that it's been so long since I was in Japan since the memories are so vividly in the forefront of my mind. Reading back over my posts around this time last year, I noticed how anxious I felt about the immediate future of my relationship with Mako and how her family felt about us. One year later, I certainly feel much more secure in where we stand as a couple and I know her family is reasonably fond of me. At this point my anxiety has moved on to the distant future of our relationship as I await the results of my JET Programme interview. Will I get the job? If so, will I be near Mako or not? What will we do about that?
Eh, enough of that. I'm in New York for the week after a relaxing Westchester weekend with friends. Dylan and I had a long conversation today where we tried to put our finger on exactly what factors make social situations uncomfortable or enjoyable. Likewise, we wondered what qualities in people elicit those feelings. It proved harder to rationalize than I would have expected. In the meantime, I look forward to a week of great food, a possible trip to a museum, a kick-ass movie this Friday, and the long-awaiting start of another baseball season - all in my favorite city on Earth.
