Life (and therefore potentially blog) Changing News!

So, it's finally official. I've sort of been waiting around for a very long time to hear back about visas and such, but now I got the word last week that my visa application was accepted, and so it's official.

I'm Moving To Japan!


I'm in the process of moving out of my apartment, I have a flight booked for March 31, and I'm headed to Japan for a minimum of 9 months. My 3 year sejour in France is coming to and end. It's been wonderful, it's been lovely, but now I am SO excited for the next leg of my journey I call life. Japan! ::swoon::


I'll be attending school learning Japanese part-time, and my fingers are crossed that I will find a job when I get there. Because I am a broke person, and I am therefore mega going to need a job. I'm also going to take traditional Japanese dance classes, and it looks like I'm going to have to switch my martial arts preference, as the one I study now is Vietnamese.

I will be keeping up Brizmus Blogs Books, for sure without a doubt, but I'm guessing that the new circumstances in my life will cause SOME things to change. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what those things will be when the time comes.

Anyhow, that's it, that's all. Are you mega psyched for me?!?

Oh my goodness! Can I say how happy and jealous I am of you? To live in Japan! Oooh, you are going to have to promise me you will send me a Japanese book (in Japanese). I would love you forever (plus, I'll pay you). :) Keep us updated! What an thrilling adventure. I may have you do recon for me for one of my books, you know. If you are willing, that is.
