Obligatory First Post?

Okay, so I made this blog in February.  It is now May, and I have decided that I should write a post.  I guess.

I honestly haven't written a blog in quite a while- life sort of became less exciting when I moved back to Colorado from Japan (study abroad program.)  Later, I will probably use this blog to chronicle the events taking place this summer (July 13-18!) but for now, I am going to offer this introduction post.

I chose the screen-name "Ko-chan" because my good friends that I did study abroad with deemed me that.  It's pretty simple, kind of silly, but I like it better than the other nicknames I have had in the past.

As of right now (May 5, 2011) I am a student in college, but I will be graduating in August and hopefully be moving on to bigger and better things.  My major is Japanese, and my main goal is to attain fluency in Japanese, which cannot really be done in the United States, so along with the fluency goal, I guess another big goal of mine is to go back to Japan.  For the time being, I decided that this summer will be dedicated to practicing Japanese (along with doing school work and my part time job,) which will entail translation, watching Japanese television and playing video games in Japanese.  When I get around to the translations, I will make a separate blog to put them in, attached to this account.  I do like how Blogger does that- it's very convenient.

I just read back on the way I worded that entire post and it makes me sound like a stick in the mud, so boring! I am not really like that at all, I think that is has just come from only writing papers for school this semester and not blogging at all. :( Booo, I am not that boring, I swear!
