It is kind of crazy to think that the holiday season has already begun and many of my friends back at UVA are finishing for the semester. I on the other hand have just passed the halfway marker of my first semester here at Sophia. My parents recently sent me a lovely care  package and stealing the idea from my older brother I decided to share its wonderful contents with the world.

I live for this.Whenever I oversleep, I just slather this up on some bread and scarf it down.

no explanation needed.

I have been addicted to these ever since moving to Germany in 1998

snacks for the train ride.

Pineapple! I also was sent some dried mango, but that only lasted about 5 minutes after I opened my package.

Japanese gum is good, but the flavor is short lived...so I asked for the good stuff.

assorted junk candies.

I recently began teaching several students English, so I also asked for a very useful workbook I have had ever since I started working with ESL/EFL.

voila!

Otherwise, life has been fairly uneventful due to all my studying. I am preparing for the Sophia University 5K at the Imperial Palace on Saturday, followed by a Christmas party with some people from my hiking trip at Mt. Takao. I am really excited for my upcoming adventure to Aomori. I even bought a new jacket just for the occasion.

Last week, I met up with some of the Europeans and after going to the 50yen bar we went clubbing in Roppongi were one of my friends knew the owners and bartenders. A good night to say the least.
