Hello all,
I’m in the mood to write something epic this morning. Don’t worry—I won’t attempt it here. But I am going to attempt to be a bit more articulate than I can yet manage in Japanese, although I hope someday to write as well in Japanese as I do in English (I know what you’re thinking and, yes, I opened myself up to that one). I’ve really fallen in love with the language since the beginning of sophomore year, and I have fond hopes for the future.
It’s been quite a week. Last night was fairly quiet, as Friday's go—certainly less eventful than the morning. I had a heart-to-heart with someone whom I realized I’d never really met and found out that we had a great deal more in common than I’d thought. After that, layered and bundled, I went sledding and picked out constellations with a lovely blonde, even though I should have been in bed trying to shake off the Knox Plague. Yes, I’d say it was a good night. Today holds nothing so exciting, although the forecast for this evening includes a 40% chance of Chinese food. Mainly I’ll be studying for Monday’s Japanese midterm and trying to cram my head full of all the neuroscience knowledge that I should have known yesterday.
Hoping all are well.

So glad to know that you have found something that you have a real passion for.
I decided to study English more seriously when I went to Hong Kong and talked with people in English although my English was pretty bad. That was in 1996. It was amazing that we, whose native languages were not English, could communicate. I felt the power of English.
I'm sure you will be able to convey your thoughts, feelings, etc in Japanese more easily. One advice from me is "keep learning." Even when you feel like you are not improving or when you hate the Japanese language, don't throw it away. You can have rest, but keep studying.
I look forward to talking with you all in Japanese someday.
