So to those who know me and those who don't, I am a Junior from DePaul University, Chicago, and am currently studying abroad in Hirakata City (Osaka), Japan. I will be at Kansai Gaidai University until June 2011, so hopefully I can fill everyone in on lots of adventures.
So, I made some videos weeks and weeks ago to start a video log (for my scholarship, very important!), but I was having serious technical difficulties. As in, my little laptop cannot play the videos without skipping around and going really slow, so I can't edit them!
HOWEVER, thanks to a magnanimous Japanese friend willing to lend his laptop and hours/days of his time (it really took us forever to figure out how to do things on his laptop. He's never made vids or loaded anything onto youtube and I couldn't read his all-Japanese laptop. Actually, I was beginning to wonder if he could either :P), I was finally able to get my first few videos up. *~*ゆきさんは てつだってくれてありがとう！^___^ *~* Hopefully next time I will be able to make them shorter and edit them more gracefully then this here blob:
Posting these videos was definitely one of those cringe-worthy, 'do I really sound/speak like that? why do I keep touching my hair and smacking my lips?!' moments. I'm gonna go slink off into my self-conscious corner now haha.
I will try to keep this updated, but it's already proving difficult. I can't believe already a month has passed, there are so many fun things I want to talk about still! I was also considering teaching some useful japanese words/phrases. So much to do, why is everything going so fast?
