Intro

So I don't have a lot of time here, but I created this blog to document my upcoming journey to Japan for an intensive language acquisition program. Although I minored in Japanese and have JLPT 3 certification, it is exceptionally difficult to find opportunities to hone language skills in a traditional manner when living in southeastern Minnesota. Thankfully, I have been blessed with permission to take a leave of absence from my job as a Software Engineer at a major company to hone my language skills at Yamasa Institute in Okazaki, Japan. It has been a dream of mine to take a journey like this for many, many years and I plan to share it with all of you.

This is my story.

これは、僕の物語だ。。。
