Last year I remember coming off of an insane party week, and heading into Imabari where I had a great time at Aileen’s with the others who stayed behind. We had a Christmas Dinner Party that was loads of fun. A day or so later, Luke King and I took off for Kyoto - where we spent the New Year’s holiday and the rest of our Whirlwind Winter Break. This year I hope that our first years can do something fun while so many of the second years head home. I’ve heard rumblings of a sweet Philippines trip from Hong and Melanie that I wish I could join - but I’m far more excited about seeing Charleston at the moment. I bet money that there are groups going to Thailand, Cambodia, and India again too. If you’re a first year, don’t just sit around by yourself at Christmas (which is totally possible) - get out and have some fun. Otherwise you’ll find yourself depressed. Anyway - enough with the guidance counselor act - I’ll be in Chucktown. Can’t wait for it. 
It’s been a year and a half.
Side note: guess this means I’ll be fingerprinted and photographed like the incredibly dangerous foreigner that the government fears I might be (but am not). Sigh.
