I have no clue what to write does this count.
P.S. it snowed here... this is Seattle. Snow is a foreign concept to the gods in this part of the states (says the supposedly monotheistic christian).

Japanese Thanksgiving

yeah, okay, so I've already missed a day, but give me a break it was thanksgiving. That being said, did you know that there is Thanksgiving in Japan? Well, kinda. In Japan they have Labor Thanksgiving Day, a national holiday occurring annually on the 23 of November. This isn't anything like the Thanksgiving in America. It is the modern name for a type of harvest festival and was established after WWII to mark changes in the constitution of Japan that allowed for basic human and workers rights. The day is spent giving thanks to workers and laborers and grade schoolers will often give drawings to the local police station.

I know I shouldn't trust wiki but this isn't school and it's never lead me far from the truth before so screw it, I'm using it.

So...like... webtoons is doing this weird contest thingy and it would be wonderful to participate because if I won (not like I really think I can) I'd basically have all the fee paid plus spending money plus travel fares plus I could take someone else with me because its $30,000 effing dollars. Except I don't really understand how or the criteria so I'm gonna go cry now.

I think I need to make the commitment to posting something everyday. That's a good idea.
Today I actually worked up the courage to try and street perform, I was turned away. But at least now I know I can do it.

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately, and I think I may even have a chance at a job. I am so excited right now I can’t stand it. I was looking at the international programs the college I am going to offers and by god is it amazing. When I was in 7th grade I was set on going to Nihon Kogokuin College of Hachoji, Japan to study manga. That dream seemed like a thing of the past when, as fate would have it, the international program I intend to take part in is having housing accommodations on the Kogakuin Hachoji campus. OMIGOD, WHAT A FREAKING COINCIDENCE.
Am I the only one who things this is seriously freaky? Because this is seriously freaky!!!!! Sadly, I won’t be studying manga there, but I’ll get to be there is the point.
So I’ve gotten myself all worked up and now I am super excited and freaking out and omigod I really want a job so I can do this exchange before high school gets out. I REALLY WANT TO GO! How many other 16 year olds are you gonna find who are willingly going to work from 4 pm to 10pm on a school night when they have three hours of homework to do? Where, huh?

I've got a bank account now!!!

How do banks work?

So, I've finally got enough money to open a bank account (about $300). My dad sent me $200 to go towards my trip and $100 for my birthday. My Grandpa also sent me $100 for my birthday. Because I am a teen and I need to pay for things that are almost directly related to school I'm half-ing that so that I have spending money.
I'm including them in my offline donations on GoFundMe in hopes I will get on the main pages.
So now I am opening a bank account, but my mom is always really irritated with Bank of America (which is her bank) so I'm a little iffy about using that bank. I've been looking up foreign exchange rates and stuff and since I don't want to have to deal with a new bank all on my own I think I'm just going to go with Bank of America. So yay.

I did a lot of editing to my fundraising site today. I added my father's offline donation to my goal and I'm going to put half my Christmas and Birthday money into it as well. All of that will equal around $300 so I'll have just over 10% of my goal.
However that is not good enough. I'm so super lame. I'm running really short on time and it's bad and I may not make it, ugh, I want to cry.
