Happy New Year!

明けましておめでとうございます or Happy New Year! ^_^

2008 has been a pretty good year for me; I discovered many great new anime, managed to write some good blog posts, and also spent my second four-day stay at AX ’08. On a more personal level, I’ve taken a lot of fantastic courses in Japanese and other East Asian culture/literature/history at my university. And since I started taking Advanced Japanese about a year ago, my Japanese has improved more than ever (but I still have a long way to go =P) I already know that 2009 will be one of the most eventful years of my life, mostly because I’ll be graduating from college with my B.A. in June and possibly going to work in Japan (and if not that, at least get some sort of real job!)

Although the latter half of 2008 has been a rough time for the American economy, with many people I know including myself, struggling with work and financial hardship, I’m trying to be optimistic that 2009 will bring good things for us all =) Anyway, I want to thank all my visitors for their continued support even though I haven’t been able to do as much site work in ’08 as I did in past years because of school.

Once again, I hope you all have a safe, happy, and healthy New Year! 今年もよろしくお願いします! ^^

“New Year’s eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.” – Hamilton Wright Mabie
