To all of those who have supported Full Circle thus far: I am so sorry for my long absence. Despite my best intentions, life does have a habit of getting in the way. Between a hard drive crash, a double major, a trip to Japan, relatives with cancer, and general busy-ness, I had no time to continue. But I intend to revive Full Circle and again, I apologize. I hope some of you will continue to read it.

Well, since it's been a few years, here are some new things about me:

I will soon graduate with a dual degree in Japanese and Criminal Justice. I hope to pursue Japanese at the Master's level, and I am planning to attend law school.

I had the unique experience of being in Japan when the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami struck. I was far from the epicenter, but I still felt the tremors. Seeing how much the people of the nation supported each other, I have developed a profound respect and admiration for the Japanese people. I hope to return to Japan this summer to complete my trip and help in any way I can with relief.

I still read quite a bit, and mostly Sci-Fi, though I have dipped my toe in Paranormal Romance a bit these days.
