ENTRY 10

by earthbound kid on 2008年03月09日 09:41 AM

Looking back on my college years, I suppose I came in with the following hopes and expectations:

Get a computer science major
Get a philosophy major
Take some Japanese classes, maybe go to Japan
Maybe take some art classes
Find a hot girl who cuts herself
Settle down into a relationship with some oral sex, but probably not real sex
Be ready to marry her soonish
Smoke pot or do drugs, but don’t drink or smoke tobacco
Have a job in computer science lined up for after graduation, possibly at large firm, possibly at an internet start up
Write a bunch of stuff

I would rank my results as:

Final score: 5–3−2

Going into JET now, these are my hopes/expectations for the next four or five years:

In JET.

Toyama won’t have anything to do, but I’ll fall in love with the beauty and maybe a few nice people
The key elements of my romantic situation will involve white women and crying
Hopefully, I’ll be able to hang out in Kyôto every two months or so
Read a bunch
Drink a bunch with coworkers
Write a bunch of stuff
I’ll probably see my host family on between three and five occasions
Probably one group of friends or family will visit from America, but certainly not two (though maybe five groups have claimed to want to visit)

After JET.

Based on past experience, half of that will work out. Which half? Time will tell…
