JAPAN!

Last Wednesday I found out I am shortlisted for the Japanese Exchange and Teaching Programme. I am overwhelmed, grateful and so EXCITED! I put my heart and soul into this application/interview process and I am so excited to be spending the next year(s) of my life there!!!!!! 

fizzy

Anticipation. It's like a constant fizzy feeling in my stomach, a  frenetic energy. I have a little less than two months until I find out whether or not I have been chosen to participate in an exchange teaching program in Japan. The interview is over and now all I can do is...wait.
This past week my old roommate sent me a delightful mix. It was filled with some old favorites and also held some brand new gems, music to my ears:) If I am going to spend the next little bit on edge it might as well be with this as my soundtrack.

St. Lucia

I went to an Ellie Goulding show on Tuesday night and I planned on skipping the opening act, St. Lucia. Generally opening acts end up as a disappointment and I go to enough concerts that the excitement value of an opening act is generally lost on me. I ended up arriving part way through the set and it was ah-ma-zing. The venue was for the most part standing room only and with the lights going and the ecstasy of the crowd, it was verging on feeling like a rave.

Hodejegerne

Watched a great Norwegian film tonight, Head Hunters(Hodejegerne).
Awesome thriller based on an interesting book.
