boring but not terrible

Well this summer is almost over and I am really glad about that. I really want to get this last semester finished up, get my degree, and quit walmart. I'm still not really sure what I am going to do about grad school. I want to go, and I am willing to put out the time, effort, and money needed to get a masters degree but I'm not so sure how to go about it. That MEXT scholarship is still my number one plan but it seems like the acceptance rate is lower then I thought and I have to go first as a research student then take the entrance exam in order to become a graduate student. Then there comes the issue of what exactly do I study. I am interested in Japanese history or society or something like that but if I get a degree in that then I am kind of stuck being just a teacher. Not that I wouldn't enjoy being a teacher but I would like more options. If I do something like international relations or international business that gives me more job opportunities but would be far more boring to study. And then what if I don't get the scholarship? Do I go into U of A's tiny Japanese studies grad program? Study abroad through U of A again? Maybe go to U of Hawaii or something.

Tucon was fun but because I didn't wear a costume I felt so out of place (even though I didn't wear normal clothes either) so I really have to make a costume for saboten con this fall but I can't get started on it until I get some fabric so I need to go shopping soon. I am going to go as leon belmont from the ps2 castlevania game.

Guess thats that
