CURRENT MISSION

learn about myself, learn about others, learn about myself, learn about...

ABOUT ME

I'm generally a little shy at first, but like meeting new people and hearing their stories. I haven't travelled too much on my own, but like to explore new places and see new things!

PHILOSOPHY

Personal philosophy… more like a goal of mine in life… to find my passion(s) and be everything that I can be. Although I often find that this is too difficult.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm great at starting new books, but really bad at finishing them… The most recent book I've finished is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer and I'm currently reading It by Stephen King, Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Remembering by John Dower, The Forger's Spell by Edward Dolnick, and Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami… all in various stages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Now that I'm taking my first painting class, I am so much more amazed when going to museums and looking at the works of painters.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Japanese and English to beginners, I'm pretty good with cameras and photography as well! We can also talk about art and architecture for hours on end. :))
