About Me


So what does one do with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature? Why teach English in Japan of course! And that is exactly what I’ll be doing for at least the next year of my life. I’m posting blogs as I go in hopes of not losing touch with friends and family, and maybe even provide a little entertainment along the way. Be sure to check out my pictures, and feel free to write whenever you’d like

My Interests

Music:

I like a little bit of everything really, except country, I just can't get down with that.

Movies:

The Little Mermaid, Little Miss Sunshine, Chocolat, Amelie, V for Vendetta, Love Actually, Billy Elliot, I (heart) Huckabees, The Prestiege, and tons more. Movies are fun :)

Television:

don't even own one!

Books:

I'm admittedly a bit of a bookworm! I could never choose an absolute favorite, but I love historical fiction and books that make me think in new ways.

Thanksgiving in Japan

For our first Thanksgiving feast abroad we decided to give the Yakitori Dining House a try, especially since it was just a block away and our feet by that time were swollen to the size of watermelons ...

The trip that ALMOST never was...

Serious. As a heart attack. Our plane left from Las Vegas to Seattle at 7:00am, we have to be there two hours early (especially since it is an international flight), and an hour of travel time from Bo...

potpourri, glitter, and tears

While this entry is not about life in Japan per se, it is about the means I have chosen to enable me to survive before my first paycheck with NOVA. After considering several options, Michaels craft su...
