Oh Pimsleur is awesome. It’s so helpful getting to listen to the language, much easier than trying to decipher a pronunciation guide and guess if you’re doing it right.
I want to learn to write and read too… I think I’m just going to have to keep this on my list til I’m conversational? Ha… such a lofty goal..?

I spent the past 3 weeks in the Philippines (Bicol, Manila, Leyte/Tacloban, Cebu, Boracay—a quintissential island beach vacation right there) and Japan (Yokosuka, Mt Fuji, Tokyo)
I really plan on travelling throughout my whole life. Road trips, international trips.
I’ve only been able to see all the places I see because of my parents, so hopefully I can return the favor. And also make it possible to do on my own. I guess that is the next goal.
The trip highlight, aside from new landscapes and cityscapes, was seeing cousins and fam I never see. Seeing where my grandparents grew up. So I’m just going to have to keep going back to the Philippines =)

I think this is the one I’m supposed to be journaling about the most.
I set up my CASPA account today, the central online application place. That’s like official step one. I also registered for the last basic course I will need to apply… So the application process is getting more real.
